Your artwork is too precious to send in the post, so unfortunately we don’t currently offer an in-house scanning service!

We do ask that if you’d like your prints to have borders, you would add those to your designs before sending your files to us. However, if you’re struggling with this, we’re always happy to help. Just pop a message in your order notes and our artwork team will see what they can do!

All of our house stock papers are 100% recycled.

We also have what we like to call our ‘special papers’ which are a collection of environmentally responsible, premium part recycled stocks. We’re always on the lookout for new papers!

You can order one of our free sample packs on our website.

Yes! We offer a sample print service where you can test up to 4 different designs on 2 of our different papers. This allows you to see what your artwork looks like printed before committing to a full order. 

We use a dry toner system for our inks. It is hard to gain very specific details about the makeup of the inks, as they are closely guarded by the manufacturer; but we do know that they are partly made from organic biomass, as well as being food safe. The press is also equipped with a toner recycling system for waste, and inks on paper fully comply with standard de-inking processes, so they can be fully recycled at any plant.

It is to our understanding that the inks contain no animal products whatsoever. Many printers will state that these and similar inks are vegan and vegetarian, as there are no obvious ingredients that state otherwise. As part of our commitment to giving accurate information, we are uncomfortable stating this as there are some unknowns in the manufacturers data sheets. It is something that we are working to understand in as much detail as possible, and we will guarantee this as soon as we feel comfortable to do so. Here is what we can currently guarantee:

• The inks we use are non toxic and food safe.
• All 4 inks are made with organic pigments.
• All 4 inks comply with standard de-inking and recycling practises, so can be reintroduced to the recycling loop once they have been printed.

Sorry we can’t give you a cast iron guarantee on this subject, we hope that’s okay! We’re unsold on any claims.

We don’t have a direct way of re-ordering at the moment, but this is something we’re working on! If you’d like any of your previous orders printed again, the best way to do this is to place a new order for the required products, and let us know in the order notes that you would like your files from your previous order (as well as that order number) printed.

All of our papers are matte and uncoated so they tend to feel rougher with a more tactile finish. We use a dry toner press which means that some colours can appear a little shinier than others. Generally speaking, lighter tones have a matte finish on the paper whereas darker, larger areas of colour tend to have a sheen on them.

Some of our papers produce a flatter, matte image with darker tones so if that’s the finish you’re after, we recommend using our Perlino Cotton paper.

Most of our products require VAT, however there are some exceptions. Visit this website to find out which printed materials are VAT zero rated.

No, we do not have an option for drop shipping.

Our inks are highly resistant to UV light, and all our papers are PH balanced as well as being elemental Chlorine free. In the right conditions your prints will last for years. In direct sunlight for a prolonged period, inks may fade a little quicker but we have been testing them for years without any signs of fade.

We send out all our orders packaged flat in layers of cardboard wrap, but if you’ve ordered prints at 250GSM or lower, you can easily roll those up and send them out to your customers in a tube.

If you’re in need of packaging supplies for your print business, we recommend using Eco Craft for all your packaging needs. They’re reasonably priced and all of their products are environmentally friendly.

One of the perks of the job here at PRINT.WORK is that we encounter so much new and exciting artwork every day, and we love nothing more than to shout about our favourite designs. When work catches our eye and also showcases our products really well, we like to share them on our Instagram, which is why we ask for your permission to share your work on socials when you place an order.  We wish we could share everyones amazing designs, but we don’t want to spam your newsfeeds!

Another way we like to work with our customers are our Introducing features. These are articles that showcase makers and independent business we love to work with, and let you guys know a little more about them. We’re always looking for more talent to feature, so if this is something you’d be interested in, feel free to drop us an email!
