Is my print requirement too small for Bishops?
-
Definitely not! Now, with our digital print division, no job is too small. Regardless, most of our customer orders value in hundreds of pounds rather than thousands of pounds, and we recognise that you might want to try us out with a small job initially.
-
What is the maximum sheet size that you can print?
-
We are a B2 printer, which means our presses take sheets with a print area of up to 707mm x 500mm. For more information about paper sizes check our resources section.

I’m not sure what type of paper stock or weight I want to use. Can you provide paper samples for me?

We would be happy to! What’s more, we can show you examples of work using different stocks to help you make your choice, and offer advice to ensure you achieve the best result for your timescales and budget. Give us a call on 023 9233 4900 or email enquiries@bishops.co.uk.
