Is it worth farming out your printing?

These days we’ve all got printers that can do the job a professional printing outfit could do at the quality that you’d expect but it’s not always the case that you should do your own printing.

For example, if you want to print good quality business cards then online printing can be the best way to go. Yes, you could go out and buy business card paper to do the printing on but chances are that your printer isn’t up to printing on the relatively high weight paper that most business cards come on. Thus, your business card will appear a little cheap which isn’t the image that you’d want to project.

Likewise for printing photos. There isn’t that much difference in the cost of printing your own vs doing it online these days. That said, you would need to buy the proper paper and don’t forget that printing photos uses up a surprising volume of ink.
