Your Brand.  Your Image.  Your Sign.

All right, so sitting in Starbucks before my final class before spring break, I started to browse etsy, and the more I see ‘fine art prints’ advertised, the more I want to get a nice photo printer and be able to sell my photographs as well.

The truth is, I’m not as savvy with printers as I am with cameras, so I’m doing my research.

Now, the primary brands seem to be Epson, HP, Kodak, and Canon.  I’m fairly certain my school’s photo lab has an Epson, which is causing me to lean a bit towards them.  However, upon visiting the Epson website and clicking the “professional imaging” link, I was greeted by prices only above $1,000.  Certainly I don’t need something like that.. right?

Looking at the more general photo printers, the prices are $300-$500.  Closer to my price range.

Now, I’ve just got to do the math.  Research the prices that paper and ink run, how much a print can sell for, and thus how much I’d really be making.

Bottom line: is it worth it?  Haven’t quite figured out that one yet.

When you own a business, it is tempting to print everything you need from your computer. Of course, this is the less expensive way to go. However, it will also make you look less professional than if you go to an outside vendor for your business printing needs. Especially when you are just starting out, you are trying to reduce your costs as much as possible. However, when you are starting out is the time you really need to have all your materials look great.
A well printed piece will help you to attract customers. The first item that should be printed is your business cards. These are your first introductions to new clients as well as to vendors. If you were applying for a new job, you would go to the interview in your best clothes. Business cards are like that. You are introducing your business; it needs to look as sharp as possible.
Letterhead and envelopes are other pieces that will need to be printed. Even though much of your correspondence may be on the computer, you still should have proper stationery. If you will be mailing out many invoices, you will also want window envelopes printed. Depending on the type of business you have, you may want to invest in a brochure. You cannot go to speak personally with every prospective customer.
A well designed and printed brochure gives your sales pitch to all the customers that you cannot reach directly. When potential customers see a professional printed piece, you immediately get more respect. They are far more likely to open the brochure up and see what you are selling. It does not matter how well you state your case for why they should do business with you if it is never read. It is well worth the expense to have your Business Printing done professionally. Sharp looking marketing materials tell the customer that you take pride and care in how you promote your business. Therefore they will have more confidence that you will do the same with your product or service. If you do not show care with your own business, how can they feel confident that you will do so with theirs.

Here’s some photos showing our April calendar going through the printing process. First I found a lovely illustration from a clip art book of images from the 20’s. Art for letter press should be scanned between 900 and 1200 dpi. I like to always scan at 1200 to keep edges smooth. Then I worked the design and layout. We decided to do a combination of letterpress and offset on this job. The warm grey background and the yellow scarf & flowers where printed offset, while the purple girl and brass colored pattern where printed letterpress. This gave a really nice dimension to the piece, as well as expanding the color palette. After the printing process the piece was then scored, trimmed, and glued.

No, it’s not a shot from the ‘Man at Oxfam’  spring/summer catalogue 1979. It is in fact the cover shot from the Feb ish of The Print Business Magazine, where Webmarteers Simon and Craig explain how Webmart is helping the print industry. And after locking and loading grins and settling down onto our 70’s-style black vinyl settee, they expound enthusiastically on all manner of subjects – from how we are building trusting relationships with Printers – how we bring new opportunity to printers to maximise their client-relationships – to how technology can bring sustainability to print pricing and how we bring much more than just print to our clients.

All good stuff. Except that after an hour and a half of feverish gesticulation and heart-felt oratory, coupled with the unfortunate interplay of man-made fibre and unearthed vinyl settee, not only did Simon’s hair start sparking, but the static built up to such an extent that even the military-wing of the Bicester girl-guides and their industrial cutting-gear couldn’t separate them.

And so there they remain to this day. Still talking enthusiastically about print, but with their grins a little strained, and their polyester tops looking slightly soiled.

Check out what they said either here (http://www.printmag.co.uk/) when it’s published online – or by downloading the pdf: Webmart – The Print Business February 2010
