Best printers for gig posters and fliers?
I imagine at some point in time any promoter of venue manager has spent hours trying to get the best price on printing posters and leaflets for events.
So I thought we could share some findings here and help everyone save money and get the best service available. Strength in numbers and all that.
Please leave your findings, contacts and prices as threads on this forum... I'll then get someone to collate the information and publish the results.

Live Music Marketing - what works for you?
If your marketing cost more than the ticket revenue you got back, you wouldn't do it, right?
Marketing shouldn't be a cost, it should be an investment, and it should work! Sure it depends on the audience response as well, but how do now who/where they are and get some intelligence about what they're into and likely responses?
