    Can anybody please point me in the direction of reliable "Trade Only" firm who can print vinyl for me please.

    Would use the toolbar but mine states ‘content to follow.

    Thanks in advance.

    JKN for quality and service. Maybe not the cheapest but reliable.

    I also often use some small sign companies who may be cheaper, especially for small one off prints but may have to wait for them to add it into a larger print run.
    Almost anyone with a printerwill do this for you and I’m sure a few on here will contact you.

    is that the toolbar on PC or suppliers index on Signapp?
    wasnt aware the toolbar had that and i dont have it on this computer to check right now.

    I use Macro Art when not printing in house.

    Thank you Stuart – yes I did try a local sign shop but as you say they wanted to wait and add it to their larger print run as it was/is small one off stuff and my lead time to customers didn’t allow for this. Happily pay more for a reliable service.

    Thanks also for the links

    JKN 😮 They’re certainly not cheap.

    Try PS2 Digital, their service is awesome.

    When I do trade print each job is treated as an individual job, with respective discount for larger runs, and a minimum order value (except posters).

    I would not hand local competition my work Stuart. Not only do they have the potential to pinch your customers by going direct to them and telling them "they provide you with the prints" your also giving them these jobs which is aiding them in staying in business.

    dont get me wrong, its good to have good relationships with those local to you. but unless i trusted them 100% i would never hadn them my customers on a plate.
