You remember far too much about people you don’t know :)

What’s the problem here? A1 prints for a tenner?
If you don’t like it print them at home. Oops, you don’t have an A1 printer at home.

How many pints for a tenner?
martco
aproximately 1.25 at Temple Bar rates
Jade
I don’t know what the issue here is. As far as I can tell that’s cheaper than Reads.
Simon
€10 for an A1 print is a fair price.
bisted
+1 x A0
chimpy
very fair. is this the first time this person has printed larger than A4? ridiculous
f-mong
I use printers a lot and I can’t *really* see anything too wrong with the price. All these print places are pricey, if you don’t own a printer or have access to one it’s a sellers market..
Anyway I doubt Hackett’s print many A1 archotect prints so they’re right to charge a premium price to mantain a machine that isn’t used much, etc, etc… economies of scale innit!
Atticus
They’d print a lot in fairness, it’s a fairly popular size in construction. It’d use the same size roll as A0 so no really difference other than being half the size.
Karen
It’s €20 for A1 prints at my local printer. €10 is very cheap. Unless of course you want them printed on chip shop paper?
man
Oh my god

You’ll have observed they have big glass windows; they saw you coming.
Unless you are buying prints in bulk, that’s what you are going to pay. A basic color A1 / A0 printer is about €4k, and Hackett’s would have much bigger machines to handle volume printing, never mind the associated PC gear for processing the prints. In volume, with agreed discounts, you might get it down to around €2 per sheet, but that would be for hundreds of prints, all correctly set up and ready to print.
Tibor
Yes, that’s actually a pretty fair price. You can shop about online and maybe get a better deal, but A1 prints are huge; for a quality print job, especially if it’s a high resolution print and a matt finish, this is a good price.
Where did she get them before? If she can get them cheaper at a walk in shop I have a friend doing architecture who would be very interested in knowing where. Especially if she can get them so cheap that still-less-than €10 seems wildly expensive.

Yes, it is. Apologies, I noticed that while my comment was still in that “soon to be moderated limbo” and cringed every single second of it.
Sorry, Troy.
Thank you, Small Wonder :)

How much would it cost to get an A1 print of Temple Bar Pub at the Airport?
Dee
That’s cheap as chips. It’s A1 not a4.
Ian
This is a good price for such a short large format print run. If you were buying 10+ it would be expensive
The cost of materials is quite low but the labour isn’t so much. The file needs to be set up, the printer loaded with the correct paper and the prints then cut back to size.
It’s a tough gig these days. Glad I don’t have to do it anymore!
Dee
Hackets give better discounts on larger amounts of prints at one time

Yet another example of Rip off Ireland
A1 is 4 time smaller that A4 right ?
Dee
You should go with The Almighty King Dumb just to make things obvious

haha

Would it not have been better to ask for the price first? Instead, you complain online about it after the fact? Seems quite reasonable to me, especially given the overheads of running a city centre business. Just sayin’.
Richard
Found a great way to solve these issues years ago….
Me: how much will that cost?
Shop worker: That will be *some expensive price*
Me: Thanks I’ll leave it for now.
What is so wrong with asking the price of something before deciding to get it?
noisymute
Large format on non standard stock? Whats the problem? Reasonable price for off the street customers.
Hacketts print quality on digital would generally be above average. With the likes of print save etc you’ll get what you pay for.
15 cents
that’s actually quite good. in college (graphic designer) i never found anyone to print A1 at that price.
This is the problem with our country. We accept that a mark up in the thousands is acceptable!
I am an Architect who has worked in the States, UK and Canada. These were bog standard black & white floor plan prints with some small red keys. We had to use Hacketts as our printer packed in last minute.
I can assure you that internationally these prices are insane! But the sad fact is we as a nation will put up with this and so it will go on! resolution emigrate! ;-)
Is that good or bad?

Printsave.ie!! Your only man!!
It’s 8€ for a 20×16 in printsave
Pretty sure its BS satirising themselves
Nothing worse than when you get ripped off for your morning cup of A1 matt arch prints.
I remember when they used to be 15p and the bags were a lot bigger. They actually tasted like cheese and onion then too.
Good work RF, that was good.
* thumb up *
Is that a craft beer pub or some class of a burrito shop?
No its a cafe that only serves match lattes… aka A1s
Does it ROOOOOCK, Sheila.
