Well, it is not easy to do it, but it is possible to get large poster printing cheaply. Let me teach you how low you can go in terms of large poster printing. Below are a few professional printing tricks that should get you as low as possible with the printing price for large posters. From cheap materials to wholesale printing, all of these tricks combined should give you the reduced cost that you want at its lowest level.
Cutting the expensive design overhead Creating your designs for poster printing will typically mean hiring a layout artist. Depending on what you want done, this can actually be expensive, especially if you need professional photographs and graphics used. That is why, if you want to go as low as you can in printing custom posters, you will need to cut this expensive design overhead. You should just refrain from hiring a professional artist and do your designs yourself (for free of course).
Do not worry, designing a poster is very simple. With most of the new and free design software available today, it should be easy enough for anyone to create a decent poster design from scratch. With a little bit of practice, you should be able to create great color posters and eliminate the extra design cost of hiring an artist.
Knowing the professionals that have reasonable prices Cutting the costs of poster printing also involves knowing the right professionals that provide poster printing at a reasonable price. You do this by simply effectively shopping for the best prices out there in the market. The internet of course is the best place to do this kind of search. You just need to look for poster printing companies online, list down their different prices and features and then compare them to see who looks the best and the cheapest. Believe me, prices can vary a lot and you should be able to get the price that you can settle for in poster printing.
Getting some kind of wholesale printing discount You can also reduce costs by getting a wholesale printing discount. By printing posters all at the same time, you can save lots of money on a per piece basis on the poster. So you should not print your color posters in small batches. Invest in one big batch of poster printing to get that discount and you should save a lot of money in printing when you consider the long term costs.
Getting the smallest-largest size While you may be printing large color posters, you should know that you can save a lot more money by just printing the smallest possible large poster. You dont need to have the biggest color posters in the block. You just need a large poster that is visible. So try to print posters in the smallest size variation of large posters. Just ask your poster printing company what is the smallest large format poster configuration and choose that for our poster printing. The smaller the size, the lower the cost.
Good color ink management Finally, going low in large poster printing means practicing some good color ink management. If you are not really printing in full color, or only a small portion of your prints are in full color, then you can a save a lot of money by doing spot color printing. By this I mean you can just use pure inks like black inks for designs that only require one color, while you can use the full color process only on the certain spots where color is needed.
Doing this helps you cut the cost of large poster printing because you wont be using expensive full color inks everywhere. The spot colors which are cheaper can cover all the other design elements that have a pure color with no real mixing involved. So make sure you know the right inks that you can use and get a discount on.
With all these tricks combined, you can really go very low with your large poster printing. You can save as much as 30% of the original cost of poster printing when you do these tricks properly. So try them out and see how you can get low prices for large color posters.
