Affordable 4 color catalog printing from pros
How do I benefit by using PBD
- You benefit by allowing our catalog printing company to handle your
brochure and 4 color catalog printing requirements because we specialize in 4 color catalog printing. Your
catalog printing quote request with all of your requirements will be scrutinized by our by our print
professionals at the time of your request and we will
suggest sizes, papers, page counts and styles that will ultimately benefit
your catalog printing requirements as well as your brochure and catalog printing budget.
Sheet fed catalog printing
- When you require smaller runs and page counts for your
4 color catalog printing project, we will run your job on the sheet fed press that best suits your
finished specifications. On catalog printing runs with page counts of 48 or less
and an overall quantity of 5,000 or less you will be in sheet fed catalog
printing territory for a letter size page.
Web press catalog printing
- When the page counts go up, as well as the quantity, you will require
web press catalog printing, due to the high speed roll stock used, which
while more costly to start up than a sheet fed press, but once running, your
impressions for brochure and 4 color catalog printing on a web press are drastically less. The
web press, is where you want your catalog printing project to be run on,
when the quantity and page count demand the better pricing of high speed, roll stock equipment.
Catalog printing page counts
- The page count in your catalog printing quote is important for purposes of press
efficiency. When ever the press runs efficiently you save money on your
catalog printing. If you ever figured out the unit cost of a page in catalog
printing for a thirty two page text run and then added just four more pages
to your catalog printing quote, you would be amazed on how expensive those
four additional pages would be, as compared to the prior 32. This is due to
press and bindery inefficiency and thus the wide extreme in the cost to you. Those four pages, would have to be run as
four sets of four on the roll or parent sheet and let's say for example, you
are running a catalog printing job of 10,000 books, the additional four
pages, would only be running 2,500, four up forms and this is a very small
run on a very big 4 color catalog printing press.
Catalog printing paper stocks
- The paper stocks used in brochure and catalog printing
vary depending on your page count, overall run, mailing costs and the end
user you are trying to attract. Sheet fed presses can only run a stock as thin as 60# gloss book and not very efficiently. Most better
sheet fed press operators prefer to use 70# gloss book and up, as that does not jam up as the lighter stock does. A web printing press, can run papers that are much thinner which will also benefit your
mailing costs, should you have many pages to print and mail. Standard paper
weights can run as thin as 40# gloss book and the larger run web presses can
run special order papers to 32# gloss book. Paper grades also come into play, as a means of reducing costs. If your selling simplistic
"widgets", you can accomplish your end results with the less bright and less
white grade four or grade five papers, with the "ground wood" content. For a
whiter and brighter look, grade three papers are the most common, with the
"Tiffany" style books, requiring a grade two up to a premium grade paper.
Docutech, iGen and Docucolor
- Need a prototype for your future press run, or for a new business short
on cash, but long on futures, then you can print cost effectively on the
short runs with the Docutech, iGen and Docucolor machines. The Docucolor and docutech will not print
gloss paper stock, but they will give you a satisfactory finished product
for the very low run quantities. However the newer iGen technology will print on gloss and equal ink in quality, so be sure to request a catalog printing quote for your prototype as well.
