Short Run Brochures
Even if you only have a need for a small amount of brochures, postcards, newsletters, or even catalogs, you can still have them professionally printed with a commercial printer and avoid the huge setup costs that can sometimes come with offset printing. Digital printing is what makes this possible. Digital presses specialize in short-run jobs for a much smaller cost than if the job was run on a traditional offset press. The quality is very good as well and the average person would not be able to tell that it was run on a digital press.
Another version of a digital press is a color copier. The quality that is produced with a color copier is not as good as a high-end digital press, but still rather good. If you have a sell sheet or product sheet that you need a small quantity of, a color copy can be the perfect answer. The beauty of a color copier is that most of the time you can print straight from any Microsoft applications or other desktop publishing software. Another advantage of a color copier is that the turn-time of a job is much shorter than a traditional offset press and sometimes faster than a digital press. Depending on the work load of the printer you choose to do the color copies, you can get your job tuned around in 24 hours. Nowadays, some online print vendors are offering digital services as well as color copies. If your budget is low, you can use these services and get a lot of bang for your buck.
