THINGS TO CONSIDER FOR YOUR NEXT PRINT JOB…

artwork, stock, colour, quantity, size, finishing & bindery, quote , terms

Stock - Weightier or finer grade stocks enhance the presentation & add value to your message. Its a trade off between economy & impact. If your printing is on qualtiy stock which feels & looks great, your target percieves value in the presentation & will give it greater consideration.

Mintmedia offers a broad range of papers & card stocks with swatch books & samples demostrating most of the colours, textures & weights. We can tailor quotes & prices to find an appropriate balance between quality & economy.

Quantity is another variable that effects the price with offset printing. Along with superior quality, this is where offset printing stands out against copying & digital printing. Much of the costs with printing are associated with making the printing plates & setting up the print run, but once running there is little extra cost due to the speed presses run at. So economy of scale is another of the attractive bonuses offered by offset printing. You achieve a greater price per unit the larger the print run becomes offering savings.

Size effects price as smaller printed pieces require less paper & more can be printed at once cutting down the press time. Here are the standard format sizes used in Australia.

Colour
The number of colours effects the price. One colour printing offers the greatest economy, & there are various stages depending on quantity where it pays to go to full colour.

Matching Colours
There is a large range of colours to choose from. We can match most ink colours. Below is a graphical guide to some of the standard inks which are used to mix & create all the other hues.

Here are the standard ink colours on offer at Mintmedia.

Discrepancies can occur between colours displayed on a monitor & how they print. full colour printing creates all the colours by mixing the four process colours cyan, magenta, yellow & black. c m y k Corporate colours generally are made by mixing PMS colours. Mixing the inks in the PANTONE list shown right to create a large range of standard colour shown in the matching guide above.
