How much does glossy paper cost? On the average, paper materials make up about 1/3 of the average cost of printing. The cost of paper can vary considerably. Heres an example, 20# bond/offset may cost $20.00 per thousand, while 80# gloss may cost $60.00 per thousand for the same size. Buying quantities can make a significant difference in large orders, however, in small orders of 1000 or less, the savings is hardly noticable.

Do you have a price list? We do not have a set price list. We try to keep our prices as low as possible. On most projects, we will quote a price specifically for your needs. This way our prices stay low and you stay happy.

Is it cheaper if we order a large quantity? Yes. Ordinarily this is true, since most of the cost of producing any printing job is in the preparation for printing that very first sheet. The printing press can then produce several thousand copies in a short time. New technology, however, is changing this old rule. Digital copiers and printers can go from computer to press to finished in minutes, eliminating many steps previously needed by offset printing. These methods are charged by the copy and thus volume does not lower the price per piece as dramatically as do traditional method. The upside being that you don't have to order large quantities to get a good price. This leaves opportunity for changes and fresh information as you see fit.

Do you do all your own work locally? No, and frankly no printing company does. The fact is, even the largest printing companies cannot have every piece of equipment, and the necessary trained employees to do every kind of printing job that is possible. Our experience makes it possible to choose from our trusted network of printing professionals. This saves time and money. We do, however, produce the greater percentage of our volume of digital and offset printing right here in our own shop on Turner Street in Springdale, AR. We also have a full service bindery at this location.

What is the largest size you can print? 13" x 19" is the largest size for our specific equipment..,however, we have access to large format printers and presses. That makes it possible for us to tackle any job regardless of size. Don't be misled into thinking that just because we appear to be a small business that we can't handle the large projects. Technology is changing the printing business and we strive to be on the cutting edge.

What kind of binding can you do? Binding can take many forms, and we offer most of them. The most common is loose leaf drilled for ring binding and padding (example: scratch pads). For booklets, the saddle stitch is the most common and least expensive. GBC and spiral binding are options for larger books that need to open flat. Perfect binding (square back with glued corners) is a good option for large quantities of thick books. Hard back binding is expensive and requires large quantities in order to be cost effective.

Can I use coated or textured paper? Colored and textured papers do cost more and in addition they can be troublesome in printing.
Extra care should be taken when planning to use special stock.
