Whether it is for a jewellery business,
costume designers, real estate, electronics, or any other enterprise,
catalogs can be a great promotional tool. The cost of printing a catalog
can vary depending upon the quality and quantity of catalogs. There are
many printing companies in the market that offer catalog printing
services at cheap rates. However, the word cheap does not imply low
quality printing.
How to Get Cheap Catalog Printing
Are you looking for catalog printing services that fit your budget? Follow these simple steps to reduce your printing costs:
1.Digital printers versus offset printers: Digital printing unit cost
is higher than lithograph printing, but the overall investment is
usually less as a smaller quantity run is ordered. Newer digital
equipment quality today is equal to offset quality and the standard in
the industry. This is a cost effective printing method to get a product
in hand to test your market place and customer base. Digital presses
apply ink on the surface of the substrate. Offset presses press ink into
the substrate as the substrate acts somewhat as a sponge in absorbing
the ink.
2.Keep an eye out for discounts: There are many printing companies
that will offer you attractive discounts and promos. You will be
surprised to find that many companies offer heavy discounts of up to 70%
to attract customers. Research thoroughly online to check the
authenticity of these discounts and promos.
3.Compare prices: Get price quotes from different printing companies. Compare these quotes and choose according to your budget.
4.Bulk Printing: Some companies provide additional discounts if you
order bulk printing. You can get discounts of 20-30% if you order a
large number of copies.
5.Paper quality and size: Although uncoated paper stock is less
expensive, coated stock will yield better quality when printing with
process inks or 4-color printing. An uncoated stock is porous in nature,
thus applying ink on an uncoated stock, the ink will fall into the
pores and yield a less sharper image. Coated stocks have a clay/chemical
substance calender (polished) into the surface thus creating a very
smooth surface. The applied ink will somewhat absorb into the stock, but
mostly dry on the surface – thus yielding a sharper image. When
investing in process or 4-color catalog printing, you will receive
better image quality on a coated stock....
