Digital or traditional printing
We use two different printing presses to print our newspapers. Both produce high-quality results on real, printed newspapers. Find out more about digital or traditional printing.
Should I print my newspaper digitally or traditionally?
The type of printing depends mainly on the number of copies you want to print:
- Under 500 copies - Choose digital printing. This is our most popular form of printing, and is available from 1 copy.
- 500 to 1,000 copies - You can print either digitally or traditionally. Order a free sample pack to compare both options.
- Over 1,000 copies - Choose traditional printing. It's faster and more cost effective for bigger print runs.
Both printing methods are fast, with turnaround times of 1 to 7 working days in the UK and 3 to 9 days internationally.
Digital printing (1-1,000 copies)
Digital printing is ideal for short runs and vibrant designs, with bright colours and sharp detail. You can print just one copy to test your design before ordering more.

Traditional printing (500+ copies)
Traditional printing is what the national newspapers use: fast, efficient and cost-effective for large print runs. Test copies aren’t possible, as hundreds of newspapers are printed at once. Some marking or ink transfer is expected, so our advice is a bit stricter to help you get the best results.
