Saving Catalog Printing Costs On Your Paper
2007-07-18 03:08:00
  You have your design and layout; you are now ready to print your catalogs. But what kind of paper should you use? Maybe the most appropriate question should be: how do I save on paper to reduce my catalog printing costs? Here are a few advices from a catalog printing expert: 1 ? Do away with bleeds. If you can, avoid using bleeds in your catalog printing design. When you have design bleeds, it often needs a much larger sheet of paper for printing. Not only do you pay for the price of the size of the sheet, you would surely have wastage from your paper because not all of the sheets would be used for your catalogs. Without the bleeds, you can utilize smaller sheets of paper which can give you more savings in your general printing costs. 2 ? Go on a paper bargain hunt. Paper merchandisers do have sales once in a while. Go on bargains and discount sales. If you?re doing a small, one-time catalog printing project, you might consider using paper stocks that will be pulled o...

Why Hiring A Printing Company Is More Economical
2007-07-18 03:04:00
  Flyers are cost effective marketing materials because it can be printed in hundreds and thousands pieces. And because you?re printing your message in only one sheet, you don?t have to pay much. Nevertheless, more and more small business owners tend to do their flyer printing jobs themselves, only to find out later on that it?s impractical and costs much more. Here are a few more reasons why hiring a good professional flyer printing outfit is still more cost effective: 1 ? Printing hundreds and thousands of print flyers costs more when done in-house because you would need a huge amount of ink and paper. It?s not an easy task especially for your personal printer to handle bulk flyer printing. It is still more economical to use a flyer printer to do the job for you. 2 ? New technology and printing methods emerge almost regularly. More improvements mean more quality for your flyers. And who would be more apt to know how to handle the innovative upgrades?

Printing Your Envelopes (How to not make your printers cranky)
2007-06-14 23:44:00
So you have the letter and other materials; now all you need is an envelope to get your information transported to your recipient. But oh boy, this part of the process I really hate doing. And it seems my personal printer agrees with me on this one. Something like envelope printing should be so easy, right? But no! This here is complicated business; this I learned from several attempts to print my personal envelopes on a printer that has a mind of its own. Believe me, when printers get it into their heads to be comfortable with their comfort zones (this time it?s the size of the paper), they get cranky and hard to deal with. Hence, they make it hard for regular humans like me to have my envelopes printed the way I want it. Thank God I found a site where the author provided a step-by-step guide to successfully print envelopes on Windows. I?ll just briefly indicate the author?s setup steps and if you want more information, you could go to: http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarge...

Business Cards Identity Without a Face
2007-06-09 00:38:00
I find business cards with pictures annoying. I do not know why but I just find it a bit disconcerting to see grinning faces printed on business cards. I suspect that this perverse response to it was brought about by my perception of the kind of people with this penchant for immortalizing themselves. I think the person who does this is egotistical, self-loving individuals. Don?t get me wrong, I don?t think there is something wrong with loving yourself. I reckon that is innate among all of us but what I find unacceptable is when people start believing that they are the center of the universe and everything and everyone that occupies space in this dimension revolve around them. These people think that they have been born to greatness and their pictures printed on their business cards are a testimony to this fact. Me, I float in anonymity. I thrive in being a grain of sand in a beach. I guess I am not the type that would stand out because I abhor being singled out. I have ...

Online is the way to go!
2007-06-06 01:25:00
Online is the way to go! I do not know how people did it before the advent of the internet but the convenience it offers is just beyond words. I was recently sent by my boss to a business convention in Los Angeles to represent our Chicago-based company. I was really excited because it is an opportunity for me to network with players in my field and I would certainly not mind the three days off my everyday routine. So here I was contemplating on places to visit in LA when I realized that I have run out of business cards. How in the world can I network when I do not have any business card? That would make me look very unprofessional! And to make matters worse, I only had three days before I fly to the west coast. That was a real bummer! I searched the web for a business card printing company that could save my neck. I got into this website called Printplace.com and it was just heaven sent. The first thing I checked is whether they can give me my cards in three days. They ca...
