Local vs Online Printers – Why it’s time to make the switch to your Advantage

Now there’s no denying that online printers are cheaper, I mean it’s their main selling point.  It’s the perfect option if you are confident you have quality artwork and know your way around the different paper stocks. However, if you don’t know your gloss from your uncoated and have no idea about paper weights then why wouldn’t you speak to an expert, in person?

Buying online might save you a little bit of money but is it worth having to compromise the quality of your printed product and your time? After all time is money!

There are a lot of Advantage’s to printing locally and with the current events worldwide I think it’s important now more than ever to support your local businesses. We want you to have the confidence that you won’t be compromising anything by switching from an online to local printers but instead realise you’re getting a higher quality service and product.

Control

If you print locally you get to deal with real people which is so important when working on a print project for your business. You can come and look at samples of our previous work and we’ll happily guide and advise you on the best paper and finishing of your products. We’ll also print a proof for you to see before the full print run meaning you have full control over your project and can easily make changes until you feel it is perfect.

Ordering online there are no assurances or guarantees, you don’t get to see your product until its delivered to your door. This is risky as colours and the quality of paper stock varies. You also have to provide a p-e-r-f-e-c-t file when uploading your artwork and knowledge of bleed, crops and formatting are necessary. We’ll often amend someone’s file to get it print ready without them even realising.

Consistency

We value our customers so much and recognise the importance of an ongoing relationship. We promise to continuously provide a good service and quality product. That’s why we’ve been working with a lot of our customers for over 20 years.

Quicker Turnarounds

We are well known for our speedy turnarounds! We typically turn a job round in 2 working days but if you need something same day we will literally ‘stop the presses’ to get it printed for you.

Ordering online means you have to work to their deadlines rather than them working to yours.

Expertise

Our Company Director has been working in the industry for over 30 years and has been running Advantage PrintRoom for over 20. She is super knowledgeable as is the rest of the family/team who have been working there for a number of years.
