A printing quotation is easiest to compare when every supplier prices the same job: quantity, finished size, paper, printed sides and finishing. When choosing printers in Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona, start with what you need to produce. The businesses below are verified starting points for enquiries, rather than a quality ranking.
Where to start your search
- Madrid: Workcenter. Its website lists city locations and printing services. Ask which branch can handle the job and whether collection takes place at that address.
- Valencia: Imprenta Mezgo. The official address is Carrer d’Eduard Boscà, 7. Its services include digital and offset printing and graphic design. Send the specifications before making a trip.
- Barcelona: Workcenter and Pressing. Workcenter lists services in Barcelona. Pressing is a digital-printing option in the metropolitan area, with website addresses in Sant Feliu de Llobregat and Cornellà. Confirm the correct collection point; a production address does not necessarily provide a walk-in counter.
This is not an exhaustive list and does not imply that we have visited the premises. An address copied into an older guide also needs checking before you rely on it.
Give each printer the same brief
Describe what the printed item will be used for and attach your artwork if it is ready. A useful brief includes:
- Quantity and final size after trimming or folding.
- One-sided or double-sided printing and colour requirements.
- Paper preference or a physical sample; request alternatives if you are unsure.
- Folding, binding, lamination or other finishing.
- The date you need the finished order and its delivery destination.
Ask for printing, artwork preparation, finishing, delivery and taxes to be identified in the quotation. This makes price differences easier to understand and avoids comparing a complete service with a printing-only offer.
Check the proof carefully
Read names, contact details, accents, page numbers and links. For folded material, check the reading order too. If colour accuracy matters, agree on the type of proof and discuss possible differences from your screen. A small preview is not a reliable way to judge whether text will be comfortable to read.
Follow the printer’s requirements for file format, margins and bleed. A PDF is not automatically ready for production. Establish who will approve the proof and what changes after approval would cost.
Common questions
Does the quoted turnaround include shipping?
Ask for separate production and collection or delivery dates. File checks, proof approval and payment can affect when production begins.
What should I bring to a first enquiry?
A sample of the desired result, an approximate quantity and a realistic deadline. If you are planning printed advertising, see our guide to flyers and leaflets.
