Tips

When supplying copy or text be sure it is concise and easy to read. It should be clearly written if by hand or set by typewriter. Preferably we like to have it supplied on disc or e-mailed.
Consider doing all your print work with one printer. They'll be better able to ensure consistency of colours and style and in most cases you'll get better prices because of the larger volume of work.
When receiving proofs for print work always check the following: Address, Phone/Fax numbers, E-mail, Text, etc… Many a job has been reprinted at the customers expense because of simple mistakes. When you sign off on a proof you're giving the printer the OK to print, so be sure it's ready to go!
If you want something printed in a certain style, supply samples of what that style looks like. The design process of a print job can be costly so be sure you and the designer are on the same wavelength.
When supplying photos or images for reprint be sure they are sharp and clearly recognizable. Materials over the fax or photocopied photos will reproduce poorly. Whenever possible supply originals.
If supplying your logo, make sure it is clean and sharp and preferably in around 6" to 8" in size. Be sure to supply the proper pms colours if you're supplying your logo in its black & white format.
Never reprint a photo, logo or information from another source unless you have written permission to do so from the original owner of the material. Copyright infringement can be very costly to you or your company.
