Print Consulting and Sales

Political and Union Printing

Direct Mail and All Associated Products and Services

With my Printing & Mailing Services, you can spend your time on the substance of what you have to communicate, not on the details of how your document will be printed and delivered. I am saving as much as 10% to 20% over jobs bid independently, by leveraging my clients' total print volume to obtain the best prices and quality possible. If you are buying your printing on your own, you potentially are paying more than you need to. It's as simple as that. I save you time too, freeing you up to devote your time to your primary job responsibilities.

 

Production Specifications

Whether you are printing a simple one-page flyer or a 16-page full color brochure, I am available to work with you in determining the most cost-effective method of production. Consultation and guidance is provided in developing final size specifications, paper selection, and determining finishing and mailing requirements. I work closely with designers to understand their creative goals and recommend production methods that enhance design and complement the communication intent of the finished piece.

 

Competitive Bidding

With 40 years of printing experience, I work cohesively with a core group of previously qualified print vendors. I have a thorough knowledge of each vendor's equipment and capabilities. All printing projects are bid to a select group of vendors, carefully matched to most cost-effectively meet your project requirements.

 

Production Planning

I will oversee your project throughout the entire production process to make sure that your deadline and quality expectations are met. For larger, more complex projects we can meet with the print provider and designer so that all parties have a full understanding of the scope of the project. Digitally submitted files will be "preflighted," as necessary, to prevent problems with any elements that could be missing. I require color PDF proofs from my prime providers to make certain your finished piece meets the specifications of your design. Where necessary "on-press inspections" are conducted to guarantee accurate color fidelity and composition.
