Services include digital and conventional pre press, and coldset and UV web printing. To save time and money, select a vendor with the printing capabilities that best suit your project. Ask the printer if there is anything you can do to keep costs down. For example, digital photos are less costly than scanned photos. Proofread and the proofread again.
Mistakes are costly.
For maximum efficiency and economy, order as many copies as you expect to use within a reasonable time. But avoid over-ordering and ending up with a stockpile of obsolete materials. Price is important, but service, support, reliability and timeliness are also factors to consider in your decision about a printer. If a printer has other big jobs in progress, your proposed deadline may not be feasible. Always discuss timelines.
