Bulk Prints In London?

Hi all. For ages I have been looking for a wholesale printer in East London so I could order say 100 - 1000 pictures so I could try my hand at retail or working the markets.
But I have been surprised at the unit prices which don't seem competitive.
I wonder if it is cheaper to order from FFE? Do us artists get discounts when we order from FFE and order in bulk?
Or can anyone recommend a printer I could use?
I am looking for canvas prints and also paper prints which are stiffened with a backing card and protected in clear plastic. Easier to sell at Xmas markets.
Thanks for any advice
Lee-Ann

FAE :)

The prices when you are logged in is what you would pay if you wished to purchase one for yourself

Logged out you see customers prices

However, whilst logged in you can actually see the breakdown of the prices under the image

Click on a choice of purchase
Look underneath



You can see the full breakdown with your markup clearly marked and removed from the total cost

I can recommend canvas printers that do special rates for artists. I've not ordered prints at wholesale over there yet though.
Lovely as it would be to just order from FAE, they are not wholesale - it would be nice if they did offer artist rates, but since they don't it doesn't make sense to use them for re-selling.

If you google whole sale prints UK, you should be able to find a place. Look at the menu at the top or bottom of websites in the footer and most will have a link to reseller/artist account/trade - which you can then sign up for an account for trade discounts.

Oh -- I know a printer in Ilford who offers really good prices... will have to contact them to ask about photo prints. I'll message you their details.

Thanks so much for the information and I got the Ilford details. Brilliant!
