The following information describes the two distinct types of cost projections. Estimates Estimates are provided when a project is in its early planning stages. In general, a printing estimate gives information about printing and bindery costs only. If the project involves design, desktop publishing and electronic prepress, a separate estimate for these costs will be made.
Estimates reflect a potential range of costs and a way of evaluating alternative production options.

Any changes in your specifications could have a impact upon final costs, so a new estimate should be prepared if you wish to change any of the parameters listed above. Any changes to the project after final page proofs are approved, such as on blueline or on press, will result in additional charges. Changes in any of the specifications, including the complexity of the design, could result in additional charges.
