Before You Purchase Any Printing Read On!
- The intent of this site is to provide the general print buyer
with information about the printing industrythat hopefully will
enable you, the about to be printing purchaser, to do so
with an increased understanding of the printing products you seek: catalog printing, books,
magazine printing, brochures, poster printing, press kits, postcard printing and much more.
- You will find information about the terms that are
used within the printing industry to help you to fill out a quote
form and to receive a printing quote that better reflects what your
original intention was. You can view the printing customs that most in
the printing business operate by as created by PIA (Printing
Industry of America). You can also benefit by our many printing
tips and solutions plus be able to post an actual printing related, question to be answered by us or another print
professional on our printing blog page.
There, you may ask technical questions and receive a response
from an industry professional.
- You will gain the knowledge that will help you
to choose the appropriate printer for your next
print job. You will learn how to discern between a "quick" and a
"commercial printing company" so that you do not request a quote
from the wrong press and either never receive a reply to your
request for a quote, or you might get one from a
printing company whose equipment is technically not right for your particular
printing job. For example a small quick print
printing press may try to print a job on paper too thick for it, or requiring tight
registration (where the colors come together). This would result
in less quality than you expected. On the other
hand an overly large commercial printing press might be overkill for your needs
and return a price beyond your wildest imagination.
- In addition to the above you will find many useful
print resources to a variety of presses, companies and
related print services. We invite the participation here of not only the print buyer surfing
for the best print quote possible, but also the print professional
and all owners of print shops, presses and brokers.
