As header says sorry if considered little off topic but not sure where else
to ask that may get a sensible reply! For my small business I order 5,000
letter headings at a time on 100 gm paper. In the past when I have asked for
quotes on the premium papers the price jumps up dramatically.



We have just carried out a re-branding exercise with logos, letter head
design, etc. When the logos are used on colour printed sales literature the
colour look really good and really vibrant but imaging them on the surface
of letter headed paper with my pantone swatches they seem to look really
dead.



Any thoughts on how I can keep the vibrancy of the colours but not pay
really ridiculous prices for the printing.

He can't give you suggestions to keep the cost down? Remind me to thank my

The problem is I owe them a big favour and it would be difficult if they
found out I was looking elsewhere otherwise. Believe me I would be looking
elsewhere if there wasn't the need to repay a big favour.

Experiment with google to get more information. Or, a Kinko's-type
copy/print shop may give you information.

Both paper type/quality and ink type/quality make a big difference to the
finished product. We stopped using pre-printed paper because we found that
we changed logos frequently and that the costs were forever rising. After a
few hits and misses, we settled on a very expensive line copy/printer (60
pages per minute, duplex printing, copying and faxing, A4 and A3). Although
the initial cost was high, the long-term costs are much lower. All our
headers are now done in Word and not on pre-printed paper.

Thanks Terry. I was thinking of getting letter headings done by printing
company but I will now look at buying my own printer and as you suggest get
the header/footer in the Word Doc.

I use Google every day in my work but there are times where you can't track
the detail down and as such it will never be a replacement for asking on
News Groups.
