Online print shop or local print shop?

Online print shop or local print shop?

Support your local print shop! We would like to take up the cudgels for local print shops. Whenever we have had print media produced locally on behalf of our customers, the result has always been perfect. Here, every print medium and every print file is checked personally. Colour fastness and high quality are guaranteed.

The only point of criticism for many of our customers:

The price! Understandable. Event flyers that are distributed, simple stickers or other simple print media do not always have to be expensive. In some areas, it is enough to get good quality at an affordable price. This is where online print shops come into play.

With an online print shop, you get a lot for little. Favourable prices, large print runs. However, there is no colour guarantee or personal checking of the print data (without a high surcharge)! Some of the print results of our print designs were ultimately too light, too dark or too different from our customer's corporate identity.

The annoying thing: Since online printers explicitly point out deviations, complaints are futile.

How do these deviations arise?

In an online print shop, your project ends up on huge print sheets with many other projects. If your flyer or business card is created directly after a change of supplies used for the printing presses, the colours will be vibrant. Possibly too strong with dark designs. If your print product is created much later, the colours may be weaker.

The local print shop, on the other hand, checks and monitors each print project individually.

So which is better?

Decide for yourself! We are happy to advise you! We work with online print shops and local print shops.

If you want a perfect print result that does not deviate even minimally from the colours of your CI, choose a local print shop. If you want to produce advertising materials in large print runs at low cost and are prepared to accept small deviations, then choose an online print shop.

We will work with you to find the perfect print shop for you, taking into account the intended use of your print media. Get in touch with us!
