Hi Marcia, Offset is more expensive than a copy shop due to plate setup charges. You may want to consider digital printing, which can give you four-color pizazz at affordable prices. The lack of plates eliminates costly set-up. Call my print broker Ed Slinski, at American Solutions for Business, and tell him you'd like a quote on digital color printing. He should also be able to give you samples as well. He's been doing great work for me for a while now, and gives me better prices on full-color than any area printer. Ed Slinski: 413-562-1663 Also, you should check out online services like www.printingforless.com. I have had great service with them as well. The trick, however, is you have to follow their file set up instructions precisely or you won't get the results you want. A designer can help with the set-up.
