That looks great... now off to press!

So here we are. We've created a great design for our client. Whether it is a spec sheet, stationary, brochure, flyer, catalog, manual, etc... it needs to get printed.

Now, when we first started those many years ago, we used to handle a lot of that printing (being middle-men). Professionally we hated being responsible for any foul ups caused by the printer. Personally, I hated collecting sales tax.

For the past several years I have worked solely with a company based out of California. They are a great high end, high run full color offset outfit. Their prices are phenomenal, and their quality immaculate (kind of sounds like ProGravix, I know). The best part of it all is that any customer not in California saves the sales tax (which sort of offsets the shipping, which can get pricey for huge heavy orders).

Now, while we take no cut or kickback on the order, we still provide our client all the support they need to get their art to the shop. This California outfit, Print Runner, allows customers to submit their orders, charging it directly to their credit cards. After the order has been submitted, we upload the necessary artwork to their servers.

So take a gander at Print Runner's prices. I'm sure you will be highly surprised. If you find some great prices, give us a shout to create that great art (at a similarly great price).

This has been today's clarified butter.
