  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.
