Print resources in Manchester - research

The Hot Bed Press seems to be the best option in Manchester for drop in print room access. There is a yearly/monthly subscription fee for the type of print room access you would like and a material/hourly cost once you are printing in there. It's quite a lot of money, but most likely very worth it if it's going to bring in money from selling prints in the long run.

 Crooked Cartoon is a one man strong print studio/services. It's not really the sort of thing I'd probably be using as the guy who runs it prints made to order commissions for him; however, it's still good to know what is around!

One69a is another specialist print studio making made to order printed goods - again, probably something I wouldn't be using to make my own work. However, they do run 'learn to screenprint' workshops for the public, so they might be a bit more open to external people using their studio to make work. They do however have in-house illustrators and designers - maybe they offer internships/jobs?!

The Print Room is another larger print studio providing workshops, screen printing services and studio hire. It is available to hire for professional purposes. However, it's not really in Manchester - it's sort of near Oldham on the way to Leeds. I've signed up to their newsletter just incase!
