Custom Printing: Industrial Printing on Wood

April 12th, 2021

Posted in Industrial Printing | Comments Off on Custom Printing: Industrial Printing on Wood

Photo purchased from … www.depositphotos.com

About 30 years ago, when I was an art director and production manager at a nonprofit educational foundation, I worked with a designer and a book printer to reproduce the color and texture of a marbelized, textured paper.

We used a white coated press sheet for everything and printed a photograph of the marbelized paper as a background for all pages of the more elegant marketing section of the annual report. (We also moved the photo around a bit to vary the pattern from page to page.) Read the rest of this entry »

April 10th, 2021

Posted in Book Printing, Flyer Printing, Printing | Comments Off on Why You Should Outsource Online Flyer Printing

Flyers are small but good looking printed materials that are very useful in printing businesses. Although they can be printed online, they are used on a physical basis. Handing these over to newspaper and magazine vendors is extremely helpful in carrying out marketing promotions. There are many companies which can carry out online flyer printing in bulk, and their contacts are available online. However, to be able to get through to a wide variety of companies, it would be suitable to look for a reliable print coordinator first, who can make the necessary links.

Digital Technology Makes Cheap Flyer Printing Possible

March 24th, 2021

Posted in Flyer Printing | 2 Comments »

The most attractive and crisp way of describing a business and its products is through a flyer. Although it may seem easy, there is a lot of effort that goes into conceptualizing the design, font, and color of such a flyer. To make the plan visible on paper, it is important for the designing company to get in touch with a cheap flyer printing company. Printing is a large cost since flyers have to be printed in large numbers, which is why it makes sense to outsource the job. Read the rest of this entry »

Commercial Printing: The Trials of eBook Production

March 22nd, 2021

Posted in eBooks | Comments Off on Commercial Printing: The Trials of eBook Production

Photo purchased from … www.depositphotos.com

I grew up with pencils, pens, and paper. I didn’t have my first computer until my late twenties. So everything I read from my childhood up through my college education, I read on paper. I’m comfortable with books. I like them, how they feel and smell, and the fact that I can easily tell, by feel, how much I’ve read and how much of the print book I have left to read.
