Managed Print Service
Let our Managed Print Service guide you through the options and take care of the details to achieve the result you need.
Hand us the print job.
We’ll help you get it sorted.
Not every print job needs the same level of help.
If you know exactly what you need and have suitable artwork ready, you can order online.
But if you’d rather send us the job and have somebody help with the paper, finishes, artwork or technical details, that’s where our Managed Print Service comes in.
You don’t need to understand paper weights, finishes, artwork specifications or production methods.
You just need to know what you’re trying to achieve.
Let us know what you need, when you need it and anything you’re unsure about. We’ll help with the details, explain the options in plain English and get the job moving.
Print without all the print knowledge.
Sometimes you know exactly what you want.
Sometimes you know you need 500 brochures for an event next Thursday, and that’s about as far as you’ve got.
Either is fine.
We can help you work out the right size, stock, finish, quantity and production method without expecting you to speak fluent printer.
And if something doesn’t look quite right, we’ll raise it rather than send it into production and hope for the best.
What you get
With our Managed Print Service, you can expect:
- help choosing the right specification
- straightforward explanations without unnecessary jargon
- a clear quotation before you go ahead
- supplied artwork checked for common problems we can reasonably identify
- proofing where appropriate before production
- print, finishing and delivery or collection
- practical help when you’re working to a tight deadline
- an easy route for repeat orders
If your artwork needs correcting or rebuilding rather than a routine check, we’ll tell you what’s needed and agree any additional artwork cost with you first.
If you’re preparing your own files, our Artwork Guide has some useful advice to help you get things right first time.
Got a deadline breathing down your neck?
Tell us as early as you can.
We’ll look at the job, the artwork and the time available and tell you what is realistically achievable.
Sometimes there are several ways of producing the same item, and a different approach can make the difference between hitting the deadline and missing it.
We’d rather give you a realistic answer at the beginning than make a heroic promise we can’t keep.
Not sure about the technical stuff?
That’s what we’re here for.
If 170gsm silk versus 250gsm uncoated means absolutely nothing to you, you’re not alone.
We’ll explain the difference in normal language: lighter, heavier, smooth, textured, coated, uncoated, and help you choose what suits the job.
You shouldn’t need a crash course in printing just to place an order.
For more specialist requirements, such as choosing the right materials and adhesives for product labels, take a look at our Commercial Label Printing service.
Repeat job? Even easier.
Most repeat orders leave Fineline with one of our bright yellow Priority Reorder Slips.
Scan it, attach it to an email and send it back with the quantity you need and any amendments, and we can quickly identify the original job and get the repeat underway.
No hunting through old emails. No trying to remember exactly what you ordered last time.
You can still order online
If you already know what you need and have suitable artwork ready, you can use our online ordering service.
But if you’d rather email the file, ask a question and have somebody help you sort the details, that’s fine too.
The point is to make getting your print done easier; not make you fit the way we happen to work.
One less thing to manage
A good print supplier shouldn’t create another job for you.
You should be able to hand over the requirements, get sensible advice when you need it, and feel confident that somebody knowledgeable is looking after the details.
That’s what our Managed Print Service is designed to do.
Got something you need printing?
Send us the details, attach your artwork if you have it and tell us when you need it.
We’ll take it from there.
