• What printing methods do the printers use?

• What is the minimum print quantity of the offset printers?

• How long should the printing companies take to complete the process from proof submission to shipment?

• Do the Ventura County printing companies offer mailing services?

• What are the printers' overage policies?

• How do the printing companies calculate fees, including set-up fees, plate fees and proofing charges)?

• Can the printers provide digital proofs?

Get estimates for your job from several print companies before choosing one.

Compare the estimates you've gathered and use them as a final determining factor when choosing a good printer in Ventura County.

Tips About Printing Companies in Ventura County 

Prepare a Printing Submission with Care
Do your best to avoid any prepress problems by meticulously reviewing files before you submit them. Some internet research can introduce you to the resolutions, publishing software, compatible font styles and layouts that are appropriate for the particular document you wish to print.

Carefully Review Your Proof Before Approving It with the Print Company
Once you approve your proof and give your printing company the go-ahead, you're essentially guaranteeing payment for the mass production of the document. If you don't scrutinize the document you approve, and you miss a large mistake, you have a risk of spending your money for something you can't use. In addition to the obvious spelling and typographical errors, check that the printers have met your requests regarding typefaces, perforations, page sizes, color choices, bleeds and resolution.

The More the Merrier
In printing, pricing usually become much more affordable per-piece the larger the job gets. If you have multiple projects to print you can reduce the labor of the press, and, of course, the cost. Talk with your printing company ahead of time and price different sized printing jobs. You may save money by printing a few more copies than you originally planned for.

Know the Specifics of Your Printing Job
Before contacting a printer in Ventura County, you should already have the details in order. This means carefully considering all of your options, such as fonts, colors, document size and amounts to be printed, weather coatings, glossy finishes and binding (among other things). All of these factors affect cost and timing of your print job, and not all printers can complete them. Overall, the job, from the initial printer decision to the shipment of the product, will go much smoother if all details are attended to and planned for before you jump in.

Maintain Communication with Your Commercial Printing Company
There is always the chance that complications will develop with your printing project. So be sure to remain available, should your printer need to consult you about your printing project.



Know Your Rights as a Commercial Printing Customer
As a paying customer, you are always protected by rules and regulations that have been passed in the name of consumer advocacy. There may be subtle variations in these laws by locality, so take a look at the specifics that apply to you at the Web site for the California Department of Consumer Affairs.
