Hello everyone,
I have in the past used a fine art printer (based in NE England) who used a flat bed printer. This printer was willing to do small runs of prints (multiples of 100) at sensible prices, and due to the bed being A2 in size enabled 4 x A4 size images on one 'plate', making the costs per print even more reasonable. The small runs meant I could try something without worrying too much if they didn't sell well.
I am unable to make contact with the chap I used to use, so I think he has either packed up or has a different number, and he doesn't advertise so I am stuck.
I am therefore looking for recommendations from anyone who might know of a similar printing company please. I don't mind where in the country they might be based.
I am not looking for giclee or modern litho printers who need you to do 1000's to get the cost down per print.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Malcolm

Hi Malcolm
I have used www.kmslitho.co.uk who are based in Hook Norton, Oxfordshire. I found them very helpful, professional and reasonable, and had good advice from them. They were recommended to me by another artist Nigel fletcher who has used them for some time. I had small numbers of prints and a good selection of cards produced and was very pleased with the results. At the time (2018) I could obviously go in and discuss requirements, but possibly not now. They provided me with free samples of card, surfaces etc to chose from and I found them very approachable.
Good luck.
Tessa
