When Can A Designer Confer With The Printer?

Printing shops, especially Foote Printing, which has been around for decades, do more than just print, cut, or bind your print requirements. With our expertise, you and your designer can even confer with our team to solve print project concerns, get more ideas for your printed materials, or ensure your design works well with the mailing requirements of the USPS. 

Our Specialty, Your Project

There are as many solutions to any printing problem as there are ways to skin a cat. Thus, if you ever find yourself baffled over any printing job, or if you’re wondering what other people are doing with their printing materials to learn from or adopt new ideas, you can always ask for help and recommendations from Foote Printing.

Designers may confer with Foote Printing to solve printing project issues or get new ideas and suggestions. Being in the industry for decades, Foote Printing and its printing professionals team know more than a thing or two about solving your printing needs. They can offer you advice on how to go about approaching the design of your printed materials to make it easier for designers and printers to implement. 

 

  • Designers may also consult printers when undertaking complex printing projects. Another instance when it would be advisable to get inputs from printing shops is when you are working on projects with complex layout requirements, like die cuts or brochures with multiple folds where the images need to line up nicely. Even before you design the layout, consult printers like Foote Printing to get guidance on preparing the artwork properly and making it easier for them to cut, emboss, fold, and bind them. Doing so will help you improve efficiency and implementation.

 

  • Printers can help you fit your design for mail requirements. Designers may also want to confer with printing shops to comply with mail requirements. Most printing jobs eventually end up in the mail; thus, it is imperative to ensure compliance because the USPS is very particular about its mailing specifications. So, if you haven’t done any designing work for a material intended for mailing, there is no harm in getting help from people who have been doing printing for mailing work for years. The printing experts at Foote Printing are ready and willing to help you with where you need to place details or how you should lay out your material to comply with the USPS requirements, which have changed over the years. 

Regardless of the printed material you’re working on, you can learn more and work more efficiently by conferring and collaborating with a dependable printing partner. Give us a call to be amazed by the print work magic you can develop by working together.
