Printing companies?

Post by Sylvus »

Anyone have any good experiences with an online printing company? I need to get my wedding save-the-date cards printed, and I've got it designed and everything (in Adobe Illustrator format). I just need someone to print me like 100ish 4"x6" cards that have several colors and a couple B+W photos on them. No idea what to expect for price or anything like that.

Any help is appreciated.

100 4x6 cards? Find a friend with a color inkjet or laser and print them there. :)

You could also try Kinko's/FedEx Office and see what they would charge. Most printing companies that use an actual printing press will charge you a lot to do just 100 impressions of something, but there might be some online companies that use digital production to run them, I dunno.

If for whatever reason you were set on having them done by a company with a press, a friend of mine owns a printing company and I can refer you to him/ask for a quote for you.

I've used Overnight Prints for several printing jobs, including our save the date cards. They're reasonably priced, and the finished product looks like whatever I submitted, which is pretty much what I want from a printing company. My brother's company uses them too for their business cards and mailings. They'll send you free samples of their work.
