    Hi,

    Can anybody tell me or give me a rough guide as to how much it would cost to get A3 posters printed up in full colour?

    How many are you talking about?

    50 A3 posters full colour on 1 side could cost about €120 to print but thats at 2 weeks wait.

    Probably between 50 and 100.

    I'm looking for somewhere in the northeast preferably. Some of the companies mainly deal with corporate jobs and prices can be exorbitant.

    6th would be right, standard cost would be about €100 + VAT, shouldn't take 2 weeks though as it would be digitally printed for that quantity.

    Thanks, I thought i got some printed up last year for around €0.50 each but not fully sure if thats right. Quality was ok on them too.

    Way too cheap.

    Ok maybe it is, i must root out their number and give them a bell. Its for a college campaign so the quality doesnt have to be great and i dont think i'll need anything designed, just a quick job!

    Go for it - sounds about right for a digital job, from artwork ready to print. We'd charge in the region of £0.45 (ex VAT) each for this qty. If I thought over £1/€1 per A3 were possible and could get the business happiness would indeed be mine

    well you're well well well below the norm. Can you pm me your details so I can send all my print to you :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 90 ✭✭narkymarky


    Go for it Pixelcraft! But seriously its a fairly researched price - we try and position ourselves as competitive but aren't in the business of destroying market prices. Guess Belfast prices are just a bit keener than Dublin, plus theres the VAT issue?

    yeah still doesn't account for such a discrepency though, materials & click charge would be nearing that price let alone time!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 90 ✭✭narkymarky


    Ah thats not fair now - how can I reply to that without giving you my costs make-up! I'll pm you to clear this up.

    Gonna have to jump on this bandwagon, any chance I could grab your details too? Got a site or anything? Sounds like a very good price, could come in handy!

    Ok i got a contact for a guy, think he is based in limerick. Will do 100 a3 posters for 0.50c each. A friend of mine who does music promotions uses him regularly. I'll post details when i get them.

    Contact Type Beaurau and see what prices they charge, they're pretty good and reasonable.

    My cousin is releasing his debut album next month and I need to get posters made up for shops and gigs, etc. I had a place in Letterkenny that used to do the for me for 40c per poster when I was up there but haven't found anyone nearly as cheap and as good a quality in Dublin. Please help guys!!!

    I will need about 300-400 A3 full colour posters...
