  • please tell me if my sp300 is suitable for printing leaflets

    Posted by Soyeb Ravat on April 17, 2009 at 1:46 am

    I was wondering if someone can tell me if my versacamm sp300 is suitable for printing 5000 a3 leaflets double sided. how many would i print and then do the reverse side?? how would the printer know how to aligh as reg marks are on the other side of the media when turned?? what would be the right media to be used for this kinda job and my printer runs pretty slow so is there a particular setting in versaworks i would put it on??

    cheers!!!

    Take a good look at http://www.printcarrier.com (A3 double sided, 135gsm gloss, £226 free delivery, no VAT), I’m with the others – I wouldnt waste your time when you can do the artwork, farm it out, and make a healthy profit for doing nothing.

    Best wishes,
    Andy

    hi

    if it was possible it would cost you a small fortune. as it doesnt sound like litho printing is your bag, i would keep well away from this job and concentrate on the more profitable large format work.

    there is also very little margin on giving out large run print jobs, one small cock up and you end up footing the bill, been there!
