Tips on Saving Time and Money on Printing
Choose the “best” for the correct paper work. Know that the paper is 30-50% of the total cost of a print job? When selecting paper for your next printing project, be sure to match the correct paper based on the importance of work. This is as affordable as it gets and still achieves the goal that was intended.

Size of printed piece. As you begin to design your next printing project, try to keep your printed piece of a standard size that is regularly used in the print world. Here are some of the common (flat), we recommend sizes – 3.5 “x 2.0″ (standard card) — 8.5 “x 11″ (standard letterhead) — 11 “flyer x 17″ (, brochure or newsletter), 11 “x 25.5″ (6 pages 8.5 “x 11″) newsletter. These sizes are the best out of a paper size of the parents. Remember: The smaller the piece of paper that go with the more savings you will incur.

Plan your dates. When possible, leave large amount of production time (5-7 days) to print your next printing project. When reasonable deadlines are met, overtime news-production has to be figured into the cost of production. This affects the “bottom line price” up to 20-30%.REMEMBER: Try to stay away from: “I need it yesterday!”

Always ask for a test. A test charge is a charge that is worth its weight in gold. By checking the test for content and color, and signing off on the approval label, this indicates that the printer everything is OK and prints according to the test, which helps to eliminate errors. The transfer of works of art should be easy, be sure to find a printer that has online simple methods for the transfer of any size artwork without the hassles.

Use a service shop. What this means for you is that after a printer finishes printing your next printing project, a single window can be processed properly (Class mail/1st bulk) and then take care of the shipping for you. All in one place. This takes a lot of the hassle of using multiple vendors. Especially when they offer a full line of promotional items such as signs and shirts.
