So you are looking for a printer that wont let you down. Well I wish it was that easy but if your like me you know this doesn't always go as planned, in fact there are times where a print job can go the opposite direction of what you planned and hoped for.

I don't know about your area but im from Brisbane and I have had many issues while trying to find a Brisbane Printing firm that works for me. That is not over priced and has good quality.

So after a lot of trial and error sifting through my handy Brisbane print business's I have found there are a few rules that can be applied to keep you out of harms way when selecting a printer.

Here are a few things that work for me when selecting a establishment out of my nearby Brisbane Printing business's.

1. You know it will save you, you know it is true with alot things so why would a printing company be any different. Yep you guessed it, word of mouth is the first and foremost thing you can do to protect you'reself from disappointment.

2. Check them out before you sign the bottom line. In this day and age there are many ways you can check out you are potential printing establishment before you sign you're life away. So before you choose check out forums internet and see what other people say.

3. Know what kind of printing you want to get done. If its just a small run then you're best bet isoptfor digital printing as its a lot more cost effective however the quality is less than offset printing but offset printing is only cost effective for larger runs. Knowing what kind of printing you need done helps you select which printer you are going to use. In Brisbane Printing firms alot of them print one format or the other.

4. Check out their clients. Maybe you can use their site to check out their clients, most of the time they have that information on there and this can be a life saver.

Now I know what your thinking, tell me something I didn't already know but this is the point, alot of you already knew this but if your like me you didn't apply it to real world when selecting a printing business and that's where we go wrong. We know what we should do it is just doing it is something different.

So what do you do if you can't find any information on a printing firm and you do not know anyone to inform you of their quality?

These rules here probably help you when there is nothing else to help you gauge whether the printing firm you have chosen is a win or a loose.

* When you calland chat to them are they helpful or are they curt? If they're rude from the beginingthen this is not a goodplace to beginingyour printing job.

* Try to get an example printed before you go ahead with the entire job, this alone has assisted me a lot with Brisbane print.

* See other products they have printed, like post cards , posters etc and see how the quality of those prints stands up.

* Remember cheapest isn't always best and you probably end up paying twice as much if you choose a super cheap printer that botches you're work. This has happened to me with Brisbane Printing business's.

So I positively hope this helps you in your selection, it is helps me and while some of this seems quite obvious they're things I used to know but ignore and I payed the price for it many times. Oh and remember there are a gazillion online print companies out there, that are just like the handy ones, there are amazingthen there are bad.. happy shopping.
