In order to insure that you’re paying the right price for your print job, it’s important to bid it with at least 3 vendors. 

This, however, is not always enough because printing has become a very specialized business and a major key to paying the right price is running your job on the right equipment. 

So in addition to getting multiple bids, be sure to consider the following questions:

• Web vs. Sheetfed?
• Inline vs. Offline?
• Heatset vs. Non-Heatset?

This can be accomplished by working with vendors that have a large variety of equipment and can offer one-stop shopping or by increasing the number of vendors you consider.
