The Art of Document Copying: Tips for Perfect Reproductions

Jan 01, 1970

Copying documents might sound simple—but doing it right? That’s an art.

At PRINTBOX LONDON, we know that flawless reproductions make all the difference—whether you’re duplicating business proposals, cherished photos, or marketing materials. Our mission is to make your documents look sharp, vibrant, and professional every single time.

Here are our expert tips to help you nail every copy, every time.

1. Pick the Right Paper

Not all paper is created equal. The paper you choose directly affects the quality of your copy.

We stock a wide variety of paper options at PRINTBOX LONDON to suit any project—ask us what works best for your needs!

⚙️ 2. Adjust Printer Settings Like a Pro

Before you hit "print," check your settings:

  • Use 300 DPI or higher for image-heavy documents

  • Use 600 DPI+ for text to keep it razor sharp

  • Choose greyscale or full colour depending on your content

Need help? We’ll set you up with the best settings at our Tottenham shop or through our online service. No stress, just results.

 3. Start with High-Quality Originals

A great copy starts with a great original.

The better the original, the better your results. And we’ve got top-tier scanners and copiers to make sure every detail is preserved.

 4. Don’t Overlook Colour Accuracy

Reproducing colour accurately is a science. What you see on screen may not always match what’s on paper—unless you're working with professionals.

At PRINTBOX LONDON, we offer proofing options to ensure colour tones and hues are exactly how you want them—before you go for the full print run.

 5. Work with the Experts

There’s no need to DIY your way through every print job. Our knowledgeable team is on hand 24/7 to guide you through the process, help you avoid costly mistakes, and deliver stunning results—fast.

Just pop into our Tottenham location or order online. We’ll take care of the rest.

 6. Always Do a Test Print

Before printing hundreds of copies, do a quick test run. It’s the easiest way to check:

  • Paper alignment

  • Colour accuracy

  • Text clarity

  • Margins and layout

This tiny step can save you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration.

✨ 7. Make It Fun!

Yes—copying can be fun when you see your ideas brought to life beautifully. Try out new formats, finishes, or paper types. We’re always happy to brainstorm creative options with you to make your prints stand out.

With the right tools and a little know-how, perfect document copying is easier than you think. At PRINTBOX LONDON, we’re committed to making the process seamless, affordable, and surprisingly enjoyable.
