Where to print a brochure

[samwilliams]

After trying, and failing, to find a sensible solution through Google, I thought I'd give the power of PH a go. (I think this is the best forum for it, but feel free to move it if you think it would be better elsewhere.)

I'm attempting to find a way to print out a small number (about 10-ish) of sponsorship proposals for a charity event I'm planning next year. It now appears it was a stupid idea, but I designed it to be on A4 landscape pages so, for printing, it's essentially 3 double-sided 594mm x 210mm pages stapled together. I thought it would be easy to print, but it's proving an awkward size to get done, especially in the quantities I'm looking for.

The only solution I found so far would be to get a roll of 210mm paper to feed through a normal printer, but I'm concerned it will look very amateurish and, more importantly, my printer doesn't appear to be able to take rolls of paper.

Any suggestions? I've emailed a few printers, but haven't received any replies yet.

I imagine that the A4 landscape may be the barrier to doing it yourself.

I don't think any of the photobooks allow you to have less than about 20 pages so don't think that's an option.

Only thing I can thik of is to see if you can find someone to print A2 sheets and cut and staple them yourself. The A2 size cut horizontally (with the paper in lanscape orientation) would give you your A4 landscape pages.

I'd give prontaprint a call. They are pretty flexible in what they can do (and will print short runs).
