# Can I ask you some questions about printing?
(, Thu 3 Nov 2005, 22:44, archived)
# Of course.

# Right then
What's the smallest print run your printers let you have, and how much does it cost, and where do you get your cardboard tubes from, and what type of printing is it, and do you give them the original or is it from a digital copy?

# Ok then
The smallest run is "one width" - that's a two metre wide printer, so one two metre print or eight 25cm wide prints or four half-metre wide prints.. etc..

I'm charged by the length of paper used, regardless of width. Prices are only a little less than what I charge for the finished print. I make bugger all on these.

The tubes come from Viking Direct. fast, cheap and easy. www.viking-direct.co.uk.

It's inkjet printing, and I make a 300dpi digital copy on CD in MAC format which they print from either Quark or Photoshop.

# Thanks.
I wonder if traditional litho printing would be cheaper and/or work at all.
Seeing as the pictures are kind of monochrome.
(, Thu 3 Nov 2005, 23:00, archived)
# For my stuff
I couldn't find anyone who could litho print images 10 to 15 feet long.

For smaller piccies, it might work ot cheaper.
