I've got couple of A0 sized pdf patterns now and need to get them printed. Any suggestions for good print shops for this? By good I suppose I'm looking for reliability, quality and any tips for best economy of printing/paper options.
Thanks!
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

I go to my local ServicePoint. A0 is £4.20 per sheet but I can get a student discount.

If you wanted, I might be able to print them here and put them in a tube and post to you, if you can't get a good price locally.

There's not one nearby it's true but there's on in Milton Keynes which we drive past most weeks so I can use that if necessary - good to know. Many thanks for the kind offer though.

May yet hear recommendations of the bigger chains nearby too.  :)

I had a recommendation via another sewing site, but I see you are not in London.

Can you share? If I can do anything to get it cheaper than what I'm currently paying...

I'll have to look through my bookmarks (I have so many), but the business has a couple of branches - one in Islington and the other in the Tower Bridge area.  Will get back to you, although I am not sure it will be cheaper than your current provider.
