Online Brochure Printing Services
When it comes time for you to do some color brochure printing doing some comparison-shopping is a breeze on the Web. In fact, if you create your color brochure in a desktop publishing or other graphics format you can get your quote, email the brochure and let them email the original back to you. At that point you can go to an inexpensive color brochure printing firm or an office supply vendor such as Office Max or Staples and have multiple copies made quite inexpensively.
One company we looked at not only offers quotes for color brochure printing but for business cards, flyers, postcards and mailers as well. We indicated that we needed brochures. The next question is about what sheet size you want for your color brochure-printing job. The choices are 3 1/2 x 2, which is business card size, 4x6 or 5x7 for post cards, 8 1/2 x 11 or 8 1/2 x 14, 11x17 or other. We chose 8 1/2 x 11.
Paper choices for your color brochure printing job are 80 pound coated cover or coated text, 100 pound coated cover or coated text, bright white offset, 14 point or 16 point coated card stock plus UV coating, or other. We chose bright white offset.
You can choose to have your completed color brochure printing job unfolded, or folded to a variety of sizes - 8.5 x 11 to #10 envelope size, or folded in half 8.5x14 to #10 envelope size or folded in half, or 11x17 to #10 envelope size, or in half or in quarters. We chose to let them fold our 8 1/2 x 11-color brochure printing job in half.
The ink choices are varied. If you choose a four-color process you can choose the color on both sides, or indicate the back should be blank. You can choose instead only two colors on the back, or a black back. If you choose a two color brochure printing job instead you can indicate both colors should be on both sides, or that the back should be blank or just one color. Choosing a one color brochure printing job would give you color on both sides, or the back blank. We chose two colors on both sides.
The next field asks for the quantity you wish. Generally, to get a quote online you'll need to indicate 1000 or more. We chose 1000. You also must indicate if the printing is to be one or two sided. We chose two sided. You also must indicate if there is any screen involved in your color brochure-printing job. We said no. We also indicated we had no bleeds. You can ask that they staple (and the number of staples), number (indicating the page number to start with), punch holes (indicating the number) and padding. We asked for a 3-hole punch. You now attach your document and give them your contact information and you'll shortly have your quote. It's that easy.
