I would recommend using Primo PDF. I have installed this simple printer driver and after creating my documents in word, excel etc i just send it to the Primo printer and thats the job done - very Simple and Cheap!

Would print carrier not do it for you?

Iv used a few web based printers before that only want designs in pdf or jpeg, but iv allways found that if you give them a call and tell them you have artwork but its in word they just tell you to e-mail it rather than upload and they will convert.

Iv had about 100,000 of printcarrier at 10-20,000 a time now and can honestly say i havent had a problem yet and there prices cant be beat.

what are you ordering? i thought you done a a4 pink, all there stuffs glossy aint it?

jpeg, my old printer used to send my proofs by e-mail to approve first which i allways saved to my computer, so i just uploaded them without problem, he used to charge more for 5000 than they do for 10,000 though so it seemed the only thing to do to me.

Iv got 10,000 a6's from print carrier sitting in my hall, got delivered today.

I picked there standard shipping (not express) and still only took 3 days from placing order till delivery, 10,000 cost just over £100 got to get them out now though ::)

As good as iv got of anybody else, if you wanna send me your adress il send you one of mine but theres no need, i aint gonna lie to you, they are quality leaflets at a budget price.

A4 to a5 means less info though which means less well informed clients which means harder work clients, which means more wasted time which could mean less profit.

Im thinkong to go bigger to get the better clients, you sure you wanna take the risk?

smaller leaflets means cheaper costs which means you can spread your net wider, this means you will get more work, but its unlikely you will get the same quality.

Be carefull not to end up the busy fool just for the sake of saving £50 on printing costs ;)

That said i use A6

Gets me lots of work when i can get them out, but after a few bad experiences iv decided to target quality as opposed to quantity and am looking to change to a4 for next run.
