Money Saving Tips

Always ask your printer to share the tricks of the trade to help keep costs down.
Inquire about "combo" runs.
Ask about imprinting and storage of masters.
Responsibilities can become big issues. Who is responsible for issues such as typos, color, and approval of the final proof or press check should be clearly defined.
Have the client "sign and approve" your work before you go to press.
Schedule a press check and, if applicable, another for finished work.
Do not go to press if you are not happy with your proof.
