I've looked at quotes from online printing resources, and I've narrowed my choices down to either Printondemand, or Inkylittlefingers.
My current print specifications on www.printondemand-worldwide.com/ are:
| Size: | Standard (197mm x 132mm) |
| Binding: | Paperback with Colour Cover |
| Lamination: | Gloss Lamination |
| Proof: | Bound Proof |
| Orientation: | Portrait |
| Cover Stock | 2pp, (300gsm Board (PEFC) ) |
| Photo Quality Mono Printing | 110pp, (100gsm Coated (FSC)) |
Twenty copies of that is priced at £153.48. It says nothing about delivery time though.
www.inkylittlefingers.co.uk/ however offers:
With twenty copies priced at £106.11, which is considerably cheaper. It lists delivery as up to five working days to dispatch, with 1 working day to deliver (to an England/Wales Mainland address) which sounds ideal.
All in all I will probably go with InkyLittleFingers, but I will look at local printing shops too, to see if I can get a better offer.
