Found printcarrier's site kind of off putting, so went with sensecreative.co.uk in the end, should be OK, only got 5000 so if they're rubbish I'll get a load from Printcarrier instead...

Wish me luck ;)

Print Carrier stay well clear, they are a germany based company, and if you have problems with your printing you dont have any legal rights what so ever. I had a bad experience with this company and lost £400 because of there neglagence. Complete micky mouse outift. If you dont believe me just google print carrier problems and you will see how many people hate this company. They are the cheapest by far but no way the best. Cheap allways isnt best in my oppinion.

Just be very careful when you send them artwork, and make sure you pay the extra for proofing.

In my case i had 2 different printers in the UK look at my artwork and they said it was fine to print with no problems. Print carrier also said it was no problem, until I received them and i was gobsmacked.

Cutting a long storey short it was there fault because they forgot to change the press back to full colour and they said my artwork was sent black and white, which it wasnt, so I was forced to bin 50,000 flyers and lose £400. They only have an answering service in this country which you cannot get through to. Stay well clear people you have been warned.

Title: Re: cheapleaflets.net
Post by: tompoole on March 09, 2009, 04:38:41 pm: nothing wrong with print carrier, I would suggest a digital proof of new aw and have your files varified before sending to print. Don't forget they are cheap because you are cutting out the middle man, you are basically a print buyer and will need to know how to handle PDFs tiffs , jpegs or print files correctly. they can only print whats on the file crap in crap out as we used to say in the print.
