Top 3 Tips for Impressive Magazine Printing

February 3rd, 2012

Unlike brochures, flyers, invitation cards and other promotional material, magazine printing is not a small project. In order to have a successful magazine printing campaign, everything from the paper to the glue that puts everything together requires careful planning. Therefore, experienced printing consultants at Documedia suggest some top considerations to keep in mind before proceeding with a magazine printing project.

Critical Factors for a Magazine Printing Project

Given below are the areas that require attention as one proceeds with the magazine printing process:

Printing medium

Irrespective of the business size, the distribution list may extend to any length. Decide on the tentative number of copies required, keeping a large buffer, and make sure that the printing company you choose has the resources to cater to your needs within the time frame set by you. A small quantity can be printed digitally, whereas sheet fed presses and web fed presses would be required to print medium to large run quantities.

Paper

There is a wide variety of paper stock that is used for magazine printing these days. The printing company you choose should have a complete selection of paper stock for you to choose from, according to your preferences. Printing experts and magazine printing project manager should discuss the mailing weight goals, quantity, quality, target recipients, etc, before deciding on the final paper stock.

Technology

Advancements have led to the introduction of file review technology such as Kodak® InSite. The PDF files can be uploaded and previewed on this portal system. Files are then prepared for printing using common software, such as Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, etc. These refined PDF files can then be sent to the project manager to view and approve before proceeding with the printing. Therefore, make sure that the printing company uses cutting edge technology and takes care of any revisions or changes you suggest in the initial stages.

In order to enjoy the benefits of efficient and affordable printing services, contact Documedia. They are the well known printing consultants, using state-of-the-art technology and skilled professionals for every printing project.

One of our valued retail customers presented us with the opportunity to expand our product sales in their stores provided we could adapt our point-of-sale packaging for an immediate roll-out.  Documedia worked with its manufacturing partners to complete the design, production, and delivery of 25,000 full-color prime packaging labels, all within 36 business hours of the call to action.  We were able to meet the new packaging guidelines in the time allotted, proving we were responsive to our customer’s needs, and delivered our product in time for our customer to realize immediate resale revenue.

So happy with the service. Thank you so much. Will do business again with you for sure.

Thanks Larry and I just wanted to say that it was both easy and efficient to work with you on this order for our new citations.  Thanks so much and I will definitely be using you for our future reorders.

-Sandie Kimball,

My project was to develop a representative “coffee table” book of historical photos and a comprehensive history of my organization in recognition of a major milestone anniversary. Documedia was selected as the printer and publisher for this project, and with the combined efforts of Larry Cree and designer John Morrison, we were able to produce a fine addition to our organization’s history collection. The first 100 copies of this beautiful book were delivered just last month, after many months of collecting, composing, editing, finessing, and – finally, publishing. All the organization’s staff will see for themselves how wonderful their heritage is! We anticipate needing more copies of this soon! Thank you so much, John and Larry, for your immense patience and professionalism with this project.
