The practical answer to the most asked question in printing: how to get a document printed in London at any hour, what to send, how long it takes and what happens to confidential files. Same day or next day printing – which do you actually need? Print takes about an hour; print plus courier about four. When same day is the right call, when overnight is the better one, and what each assumes about your file. Can you print confidential documents the same day? What actually happens to a sensitive file in our production: NDA before opening, two people with access, in-house printing, deletion after the job and a shredder for the waste.

What happens to a file sent at 9pm, what we check before it goes on press, and how it reaches a 9am meeting. What DPI do you need for an A0 poster? A0 at 300 DPI would take a 139-megapixel file. Real numbers from our preflight engine: what a 24MP camera, an iPhone and a typical export actually give you at poster size. Foamex or Dibond – which board for outdoor signs? Both boards live on our floor, so this is not a catalogue comparison: weight, flatness, outdoor life and cost, and the one question that usually decides it. What file format is best for printing? PDF, with fonts embedded and 3mm of bleed. Why the other formats shift on press, what our preflight checks before printing, and the one-line rule that avoids nearly every delay.

The set-up rules for A0 to A2 work, from the machines that print it. How much does printing cost in London? Actual starting prices from our price list rather than a call-us wall: flyers, postcards, folded cards, letterheads - what drives the number up or down, and what the quote assumes.
