Many times changing the trim size of your file can change your costs. For instance, to print on our large format printer is much more expensive than our color digital. The difference between the two machines is the size they are able to print. Read on for two examples:
Posters:
- Our large format can print 60 inches wide by 100’s of feet (prints on a roll), where our color digital press prints up to 12x18. However, the cost savings to print on our color digital is significant. Next time you are designing or ordering a small poster keep that in mind. If you are planning a14x20 poster, but can live with a 12x18 instead, you will definitely save money.
Postcards:
- Smaller postcards can sometimes save cost since we are able to print more pieces on one sheet. If you are thinking about an 8.5x5.5, changing to a 4x6 will change your cost. You will be surprised how your costs can be decreased just by reworking the size of your finished piece. This even saves on postage!
Let us help you determine the most cost effective size for your project during the conceptual stage and you may save money in the end!
