What Should I Ask My Prospective Printer?
Wman looking a bit confusedhen you start a project that will be printed, it's best to find a few printers to discuss the project with. You can ask associates, a business group or your designer for recommendations. It's a good idea to visit and meet the printer to get a feel for who you'll be dealing with.

You'll need to tell the printer a few things about your project but you should also be prepared to ask a few questions like:

1. How long have you been in business?

2. What are your hours of operation? Do you print at night or on weekends?

3. How many presses do you have and what are the color capabilities of each?

4. What software and materials can you accept?

5. What linescreen do you use?

6. Is there a specific kind of project that you specialize in?

7. Can I see some samples of your print work?

8. May I contact some of your clients for their feedback?

9. What kind of proofs can I expect to see before my project is printed?

10. How much time will I have to review the proofs?

11. If I am not satisfied with the quality of the printing, will you reprint the job at your cost?

12. What method of payment will you accept?

Get to know your prospective printers and find out how focused they are on keeping their clients happy. Find out this information before you hand over your project so you'll be less likely to regret your choice later on.slug
