Estimates help contain cost, plan printing order
The estimate form helps clients plan printing specifications and provides budgeting information. Printing costs depend on quantity needed, materials, and labor and equipment required for the finished product.
Estimates usually are provided within two work days, but call for a personal response. A customer service representative is available during work hours to discuss job specifications, make suggestions to improve the product design, determine a delivery date, and suggest ways to reduce costs.
For an accurate estimate, be specific, and provide as much information as possible. A mock-up, sample, or similar printed piece is helpful. Basic information required includes:
Contact name
Job description (title and type of document)
Quantity
Number of pages (a single sheet, printed on both sides, is 2 pages)
Dimensions
Preparation services (typesetting, scanning, design)
Color of ink(s)
Type and color of paper
Proofs needed
Finishing services (pad, collate, staple, fold, bind, shrinkwrap, etc.)
University Printing also provides pickup and delivery, large job production, and mass mailing. For more information, call 532-6308.
