How to Save Money on Printing
Printing costs shouldn’t (and don’t need to) eat a hole in your budget. This one-page PDF offers 10 things you can do to save money on your next commercial printing job.
A lot has changed since J.B. Gray & Son opened its doors in downtown Portland’s Davis Building in 1945. In those days, type had to be set by hand, print jobs could take weeks, and color printing was beyond the reach of most budgets.
Things look much different today. The Davis Building is long-gone, digital technologies have streamlined most of the laborious and time-consuming prepress work, large print jobs can be completed literally overnight, and full-color printing is now the norm. Indeed, full-color digital printing is often less expensive than printing a single color on a traditional letterpress! Digital printing can also be used on a wide variety of surfaces besides paper, adding considerably more flexibility to the production of marketing materials.
For all the changes in the printing industry, one thing has remained consistent at J.B. Gray & Son: our commitment to quality. We’ve built a 75-year-old reputation by providing quality crafted printing at affordable prices. We don’t pretend to be the cheapest printer in town — there are plenty of “rip and run” print shops that compete on that basis. And frankly, trusting your image to the lowest bidder seldom produces good results. But we do promise to give you the absolute best value for your printing dollar: a product you'll be proud to use at a price that respects your budget.
If you’re looking for 5-star service, reliably fast turnaround, and a fiercely competitive price, you couldn’t make a better choice than J.B. Gray & Son Quality Printing.
