Great question. It depends what the print is, and where it is being sent:
Delivery Destination: United Kingdom
If an order is being posted to the United Kingdom, you'll be charged 20% VAT on the postage and print. For orders of service and leaflets, you'll only be charged VAT on the delivery since the print is zero-rated.
Delivery Destination: European Union
The rules for the European Union are much the same as the United Kingdom. You will be charged VAT on the print and delivery at 20%. Again, orders of service and leaflets are zero-rated. For an up-to-date list of countries inside the European Union visit Royal Mail.
Delivery Destination: Rest of World
For orders going outside the EU, things are a little simpler: you will not be charged any VAT. All sales, regardless of their nature and size, are VAT exempt. For an up-to-date list of countries outside the European Union visit Royal Mail.
Our prices are very competitive, and you'll always have access to those same rates no matter what you spend.
Unfortunately not. We'll send you a single itemised invoice on the first working day of each month, for all orders placed in the previous month.

Payment will be debited on the 10th day of the month.
Yes, in accordance with the United Kingdom Direct Debit scheme, you will receive an advance notification email before any payment is debited from your account. You will be provided with the scheduled date and payment amount at least 3 working days before.
Of course. If you need to update your details, please email support@printium.uk. We will cancel your old agreement and email a link to you so you can enter the new details. Printium does not store any bank details.
As with all UK Direct Debit agreements, you are free to cancel it at any time. If you are thinking about canceling your agreement please support@printium.uk so we can assist you.

In most cases, your artwork will be rejected and you'll need to supply a new file. Sometimes we might have to cancel an order completely. We do this when there is a mismatch between the print options selected and the artwork provided.
Of course, if we spot any issues we'll always raise it with you. We will never knowingly dispatch a defective order, and we always pack by hand and quality-check each and every order before it gets dispatched. Errors are extremely rare thanks to our thorough processes.

It's up to you if whether you export files with crop marks. Our system automatically removes them as part of the file processing. Rest assured, it doesn't make any difference.
For more information visit our Artwork Requirements page.
As standard with all high-quality printers, you will need to embed fonts into your PDF file. It doesn't happen often, but if a font isn't embedded and it's corrupted, our printer will substitute it for another.
For more information visit our Artwork Requirements page.
Always CMYK. You can supply a file in RGB but it will be converted automatically to the CMYK colour profile. Sometimes the conversion process doesn't always generate the desired result, so always design and supply your files in CMYK.
For more information visit our Artwork Requirements page.
Unfortunately not. All Pantones and spot colours will automatically be converted into CMYK.
Where possible use 300dpi. Anything significantly lower may result in blurry or pixelated cards, while anything significantly higher will slow down the upload process. Always aim to keep files around 300dpi.
