Which Press Environment is Best for You?
The best printing press environment for your unique print job depends on a variety of factors. Our team of book specialists will ask you a series of questions to learn more about your printing requirements, like page count, ink requirements, paper selections and total number of copies. When they have this information, they will present the most suitable option in a formal quote by email for your consideration.
Matching to Previous Samples
It’s possible to supply a printed sample from a different printer and have our team match to it as close as possible, just specify this in your discussions with a TLAC team member and provide the sample with your order confirmation.
