Printing services are responsible for all of the large-scale printing you see in office buildings,
homes, on billboard posters, and more! Each print is custom-made by printing services. Their
designs are a collaboration between graphic designers and clients. Every organization can
benefit from some form of exceptional printing.
Why Use A Printing Service?
Whether you need custom art or photos for your home, or office, printing services are the way to
go. Custom photos on a large scale or prints really add uniqueness and personality to otherwise
cold spaces. You can also use custom printing services to finish an interior gallery or extend
your organizational reach with exterior visuals and interior wall decals. Knowing how to find a
great printing service is vital to print quality and longevity. When you find a reliable printing
service, you can build a relationship and construct prints you need for years to come! Here are
the nine components of a great printing service.
Diverse Services
Look for a printing service that offers a large variety within their services. A great printing service
will offer both small and large scale prints, different materials, various finishes to your prints and
more. The difference between a good printing service and a great one is their confidence behind
their services. A good printing service will offer all their printing options, but a great service will
back each of their options with proven examples!
Attentive
When it comes to building designs, a great printing service will carefully listen to all your needs
and work together with you to bring your thoughts to fruition. When there are elements of your
design concepts that can’t be achieved, they will offer you manageable solutions that align with
the rest of your design. When you see the final product, you should feel as though your ideas
were well represented in addition to it looking very good.
Creative
A great printing service will clearly radiate creativity. Coming up with unique and creative
designs, out of the box problem solving, and customizable features are all signs of a creative
printing service. A creative printing service is best for all your printing needs because it will
almost always get you better results in the long run.
Adaptive
There’s a flaw in the design? Not one that will be an issue for a great printing service team. A
great printing service will quickly adapt to the diverse needs of their clients and the specific
situation at hand. For example, if you have a photo you want printed but there is no material
size to match, a great printing service will make adaptive alterations and make the project work.
Punctual
Great printing services have no problem meeting deadlines. As an individual, or an organization,
you are putting your faith and hard earned money in a business with the expectation they will
deliver on their word. Meeting that deadline is expected. Alternatively, when a printing service
can’t meet that deadline, they should offer consistent communication on your project status.
Experienced
You want to find a printing team who has relevant experience. If you choose a team who has
only ever printed small forms to craft your massive photo wall, you may be disappointed with the
outcome. Instead, look for a business who specializes in exactly what you need printed, or has
a lengthy history when it comes to printing experience.
High-quality
You don’t want a blurry family photo hanging in the hallway or a crooked design printed on a
large scale decal. For this reason, when it comes down to evaluating a printing service, the main
concern is the final product. A printing service can do everything right, but if their final product is
sub par, none of that matters. To gage the print quality, ask for examples of their previous work.
This way, you can know what to expect without putting anything on the line. Many printing
services will have a gallery page with generic examples. If your project is more unique, ask for
examples similar to your vision.
In addition to high print quality, look for a team who uses high quality materials as a part of their
practice. Part of creating lasting art involves using durable canvas and printing materials!
Reasonable Price
Not only will the product be reasonably priced, but a good printing service will communicate
their pricing up front. Pricing pages are a good indication of what you will be working with. If you
have a highly specialized project, see if your prospect service will offer you a quote for the work
you need completed. Any great printing service will be able to not only offer you a quote but
break down the pricing as well.
Read Reviews
Reviews and testimonials online are a great way to see what it is like working with a company
from a customer’s point of view. If a business has high ratings and positive feedback, you can
likely assume that is the kind of service you will receive as well. On the other hand comments
regarding poor experiences are not a great sign, especially if there is no explanation from the
business.
Now that you know what a great printing service looks like, go out and find the best one for your
needs. With the right team, you will have a beautifully printed art piece in no time!
