subject: Cheap Poster Printing: Myth Or Real? [print this page] Are discounts in poster printing for real? If they are, how come people end up paying more than what was advertised? Are these discounts are just a come on to attract clients to the print poster company? On second thought, could it be that the discount is another term for cheap, substandard printing?
Well, let us try to look deeper into this claim and try to verify if this is a legitimate offer or a myth. But before we do that, let us first try to define the parameters.
First, when we say poster printing, we mean the various methods of printing posters such as in the traditional ones or those that involve advancements in technology. It is important to differentiate between the two because they may impinge on the actual costs. Needless to say, with the advancements in technology, printing posters can now be made more simple, more efficient, hence, less costly.
For the traditional way or printing posters, one has to go through an array of processes that involves creating layouts then dummies then employing color separation techniques. However, with new and advanced technology, poster printing companies do not have to go through all these processes. Technology has cut the process which effectively cuts down the overhead costs including costly human errors.
In the past, dummies have to be designed. These dummies not only have cost implications, they also consume a lot of time to perfect. Nowadays, everything could be done through your computers. Any desktop publishing software can help design layouts at half the time it takes to create a dummy. You can then review these online or if you want a hard copy proof, just to check the colors, your poster printing company can do this for you for a small fee.
There is no doubt that the internet has greatly altered the way poster printing is done today. Efficiency and convenience are the buzz words in any print job. In this sense, almost anyone anywhere can now transact business online, place orders, edit layouts, approve proofs and by the time you get home, your poster printings are waiting at your company's delivery dock.
The advent of the internet and the advances in printing technology has tremendously altered the landscape of printing posters. Put simply, it means more savings both for the company and the client.
So, on the question whether discounts when printing a poster are real or just a myth. They are real. Myth Busted!
