Printing Costs

by admin on October 22, 2009

Printing is one of the necessary costs of doing business. However, there are ways to ensure you are spending your printing budget wisely:

  • Always proof thoroughly – read everything at least 3 times – and never sign the proof until you are sure everything is correct. If you’ve made a mistake, you’ll be paying for printing you can’t use.
  • Evaluate all your forms annually. Are they as useful and efficient as possible? Could you combine several forms into one? Could you reduce the size of your form?
  • Order smart. Only print what you can use in a reasonable time. Ordering too much ties up your money – and you risk your materials being unusable if critical information changes.
  • Finally, ask your printer if there’s any way to reduce printing costs.  They are the experts and can provide valuable cost-saving advice.

Remember, price should not be your sole criteria. Your printed materials create an impression of your business. Consider quality, consistency, service, and support before you choose a printer.
