If
you've never ordered printing online before then here are
a few things to consider before placing your first order.
Keep in mind that ordering print online is much easier
and the most cost effective way to order printing.
|
|
Advantages: |
|
Save
money - with gang run projects (where your project is put
on a with
hundreds of others at the same time) you can save a bundle over traditional
print shop prices and receive a higher quality product. |
|
Faster
- with computer automated systems you can receive high
quality offset printing faster than at a traditional print
shop.
|
|
Offset
printing is cheaper than ever. With gang run printing
systems you can get real
offset printing cheaper than ever before. That's the
highest quality for the lowest price.
|
|
Convenience
- Order anytime, day or night, 365 days a year and have it
delivered right to your door. With blind shipping services
you can even have your name appear on the return address
so no one knows where you've purchased the product - this
is great for resellers! |
|
Design-It-Yourself
options allow you to save
money on design like never before. Most traditional printers don't provide you with
free software programs to design it
yourself, and they charge additional fees to set up your print
projects that you probably don't even know are included. |
|
Disadvantages: |
|
Online
printing is self-service. If you need more personalized
service, like looking through paper sample books, or you don't
want to learn about design and printing enough to place
successful orders, then online print
buying is probably not for you.
|
|
You
want one company that does it all. Most online printing
companies specialize in a particular aspect of printing so
they can save you a lot off of certain printed projects -
but they usually don't specialize in every printing
process or offer every type of printed product. The prices
are great - the order process is easy - so take the time and
find a couple different sources that specialize in your
projects and you'll be happy. Local printers can't do it
all either - so they'll farm it out and mark up the
product. |
