With digital printing, files are transferred directly from the computer to the press, eliminating film, platemaking and other prepress functions. Pass along value, not blame. We don't pass the fault. If something goes wrong, it's our fault because we chose that producer. Don't forget the finishing line.
Distributors say commercial printing jobs often fail after the printing is completed.
Finishing services are critical. Inexact trimming or a botched collating job can be disastrous for clients. Learn which finishing services a product requires, such as tabbing, folding, stapling, saddle stitching and gluing, and let customers know those processes take time. Distributors say finding reliable trade printers is one of the biggest difficulties when entering the commercial printing market. There are hundreds and hundreds of forms manufacturers that sell through the trade, and you know they'll be fine.
