Printers for flyers

Need to get some flyers printed -

A5 and A6

Colour on both side, decent weight card.

Anyone recommend anywhere that doesn't want to charge the earth?

Yes thanks for that.

I asked for recommendations - any idiot can use google or yellow pages.

He's right. You want somewhere local. So.. Yellow Pages or Google.

I have asked locally. I wanted to know if people had used anyone for a gauge of pricing etc.

Google throws up 100+ half of which look like cowboys.

But as I said i'll ask elsewhere.

Why yes, yes I would.

I used to work in print, in all honesty the best and only way to do this is to phone up five or ten local printing companies at random and get quotes, and go with the cheapest.

Having them printed four colour both sides on heavy paper isn't going to be very cheap though.

How many do you want?

Have to say that I'd recommend getting a quote from http://www.cheapleaflets.co.uk/. Not the best website in the world, but by far the cheapest printing company I've used. No one else was able to match their quotes!

Had a few leaflet runs and several A5 magazine runs printed by them and they all came out perfectly fine.

Have a look at prontoprint, they aren't too expensive and do a good job.

they are for a club night - It seems most places wont print anything under 5000, or if they do they want silly prices.

About 2500 would suffice, but if needs be it'll have to be 5000.
