Figures on this page come from PrintNewspaper artwork guidelines, read on 2026-08-20. Presses vary and printers revise their guidelines, so run a test PDF through their own preflight before you order.

Flat, not folded

PrintNewspaper supplies this format flat rather than folded, which is unusual and genuinely useful. A folded newspaper has a crease down the middle whether you want one or not, and on a short publication that crease falls straight through your layout. Flat delivery removes that entirely.

It also changes how the thing feels. A flat 260 by 370mm sheet reads more like a broadside or a poster paper than a folded newspaper, which suits menus, exhibition handouts, single sheet programmes and anything intended to be pinned up rather than carried around.

The smallest tabloid on the site

At 260 by 370mm this is smaller than Newspaper Club's tabloid at 289 by 380mm and smaller than the Happiedays tabloid at 280 by 400mm. The difference is not dramatic on paper but it is noticeable in the hand, and it makes this the cheapest of the three to post.

The margin is ten millimetres on the top, bottom and outer edge, which is more generous in practice than Newspaper Club's fifteen because the page is smaller to begin with. The printable area works out at 250 by 350mm. As with several formats here, the margin does not apply to the inside edge, so the printable width loses ten millimetres rather than twenty.

The widest image tolerance of any printer here

PrintNewspaper accepts images from 150 all the way up to 600 DPI, which is the broadest range on this site by a considerable margin. Most printers cap the useful figure at 300 because newsprint cannot resolve more than that, so quoting 600 is a statement about what they will accept rather than what will visibly improve.

The practical reading is that you have room at the bottom of the range rather than an invitation to send enormous files. A 150 DPI image will print acceptably here, which is a genuine relief if you are working from photographs you did not shoot yourself.

They also accept type down to seven point, a point smaller than Newspaper Club's floor. Treat that as a technical limit rather than a suggestion: seven point body text on newsprint is hard work for any reader, and the guide to fonts for newsprint explains why the typeface matters more than the number at those sizes.
