I'm looking for additional low cost color printers for post cards, brochures, catalogs and such. The best pricing I've found so far is from this printing company, Business Card Printing : Postcard Printing : Direct Mail Marketing : Brochure Printing : Scratch Off Printing : Printdirectforless.com

Does anyone have comparable contacts I can add to my list?

Thank you.

You should really point out that your tinyURL link to this company is an AFFILIATE link, not a direct link to Printdirectforless.com.

US companies -- no, I only have several Australian trade colour printers that we use regularly. I have 48HourPrint.com in my bookmarks, but haven't used them yet.

I recommend Color Printing of Brochures Postcards Catalogs and Stationery (Printing for less dot com). For postcards, you might also try Modern Postcard - Modern Postcard - Modern Postcard - Postcards and Solutions. I've used both these vendors and been quite happy with the results.

First, thank you for the lead. 48 Hour Print does have some good pricing and I did not have them on my list yet.

Concerning the link I used. Since I'm not asking anyone to buy printing, and only asking for additional printer resources, I'm not sure what difference the URL I use makes, as long as it gets to the right place so someone can answer my question. And just to note, it's not my affiliate link, it's someone else's that turned me on to them.

And this brings up a good point for any copywriter or graphic designer, and that is they should become an affiliate or reseller of at least one good printer and mailer.

In today's world, good high-paying creative jobs are getting hard to find, and many companies will change creative services at a drop of a hat if they "think" they can get the same work cheaper. And small one-time jobs don't pay much if you're trying to make a house payment.

So being able to bring in some side money by arranging printing for a client, big or small really helps in the long run. Especially since the right printers will pay a long term residual. Like this one: PrintDirectForLess.com

Actually, we resell the services of several trade printers -- and it's a great profit-center for our marketing business. Our clients still get prices well below what they could get themselves, plus our services, and we make a nice profit on printing. I couldn't agree more! For our clients, it's more of a complete "done for you" service than anything else -- they don't want to bother with any part of the process, and trust us to look after it all.

I was silly in my early marketing business days -- I'd pass on printing directly at cost, even though I was getting it for way less than normal. Partly that was a cash-flow problem as a new business (and with some big client print jobs), and I really only had two good printers to work with. Nowadays, the printing is much more viable with a profit margin added in, as it should be in a business environment when we deliver value.

What I meant about the masked affiliate link is in this sticky. I have used affiliate links too in posts -- and find it's better to point it out.

On a slight printing tangent, I did notice yesterday a small sheet of craft labels that had been inkjet printed and would return $1440 for a $55 box of labels -- plus about $30 in printing/finishing costs -- good to keep our eyes open for other sorts of printing we hadn't previously looked at!

Instead of trying to print stuff on your own, use google to find some major printing company...
They would ship the material to your place within a day or two and you could also pay via paypal..!!
It turns out much cheaper than buying a printer and taking thousand copies at home
