Custom Work
Need help preparing a printable file or getting the whole printing process taken care off?
I offer design services for print products like business cards, flyers, postcards, and more.
Before we begin, here’s something important to understand:
The printing itself is often the cheapest part. Creating the printable file — the design, layout, alignment, proper color settings, export, and all — usually takes much more time and care.
Many people are surprised when they hear that designing a proper print file can cost more than the actual printing. That’s not because I’m trying to sneak in extra costs — it’s simply the reality of the work involved.
It’s also not unusual for someone to send me a photo of a printed product and ask, “Can you just reprint this?” Often the photo is 200×120 pixels, a bit blurry, taken on a kitchen table, and far from usable. (Yes, true story. I am not making this up.) Sadly, that’s not something that can go straight to the printing press — and making it print-ready will usually take 1–2 hours of manual work in graphic design software.
My rate for custom work is €89/hour (VAT not included), and I always do my best to work efficiently and clearly communicate the time involved. If you already have print-ready files, great! If not, I can help get you there.
Feel free to reach out at alessandro@painomestari.fi and include any reference images or ideas you have. I’ll let you know what’s possible and give you an estimate before we begin.

I’ve been working with print24.fi since 2019 and have had very good experiences with their service and print quality. I’ve even toured their main production facility in Dresden, Germany — it's an impressive operation.
