The profession of printer became established after the invention of the moveable typeprinting press by Johannes Gutenberg around 1450, and proliferated throughout Europe. Such early printers often were recognizable by individual characteristics in the works they produced, such as type or typography, and since early printed books were made in relatively small quantities they are rare and collectible.
Today's printers include:
Newspaper printers, often owned by newspaper publishers
Magazine printers, usually independent of magazine publishers
Book printers, often not directly connected with book publishers
Commercial printers, often offering digital and traditional printing services
Trade printers, who offer wholesale rates within the printing industry
An artist who operates a printing press to execute their own works, especially by hand in limited runs, is usually distinguished from other printers by the term printmaker.
Digital printing on demand is made easy with automated machinery. View the entire process in a short two and half minute instructional video. Learn how to self publish your own book at the best price using high quality materials. Visit DiggyPOD.com today and get published now!

TRANSCRIPT
Hi there. I am John Bond from Riverwinds Consulting and this is Publishing Defined.
Today I am going to talk about choosing a book or journal printer. While the world assuredly is going digital, print has remained part of the necessary offerings for many publishing companies.
Choosing the right partner can save money, ensure proper time to market, and guarantee quality. Here are six tips for choosing a book or journal printer.
First, when you consider potential partners, look national versus those just in your backyard. Be open minded to any national firm whether you can visit them on a regular basis or not. Other than an initial visit, there should be almost no reason to visit your printer a lot. Press approvals are a thing of the past in almost all circumstances.
Also, look for printers that do a lot of the business in the run size that you are working in. Don’t choose a short run printer to do a long run publication, and vice versa.
Second, only consider printers were the focus of their business is on books or journals. Commercial printers might be able to do the work, but a specialist is needed in this competitive market. They need to come to you with ways to save money or change processes during your relationship and working with a recognized firm should ensure this.
Third, when you go out for bid, be open to small changes in specs that might lower prices due to a company’s particular equipment. Let bidders know that changes to trim size, color usage, binding, and other factors would be considered, in addition to your original specs.
Fourth, look closely at paper costs and talk to the printers on how to ensure the best possible price without sacrificing quality or your vision of the publication. Spend as much time talking about paper, including house stocks, as you do talking about press costs.
Fifth, for journals, dive deeply into postage costs. Depending on the run length, talk about co-mailing and potential cost savings. For finalists in your bidding process, you may want to consider taking your mailing list and having an analysis done on projected postal costs. Where the printer is located regionally will definitely affect costs, plus or minus. Also look at the shipping costs for bulk mailing to a convention or to your offices. Spend almost as much time understanding postal costs as you do looking at printing and paper costs. For books, consider the final book weight to determine how it will affect shipping costs to customers.
Sixth, create a great request for proposal and ensure all aspects of the printing operations are covered. Send the RFP to qualified potential partners, hopefully at least five. With the resulting proposals from the printers, block out time to analyze them side by side very closely. Don’t just look at the bottom number. Call the bidders up and ask them a ton of questions. At the end of the day, choose a partner and not just low bidder. On time delivery and quality work count are obviously crucial.
Well that’s it. I’ve released a new eBook called, “The Request for Proposal in Publishing: Managing the RFP Process.” It is a short, focused guide to this essential business task that associations or societies use to find potential publishing partners. See the link in the notes below for more information on the book or how to purchase it.

TRANSCRIPT
Hi there. I am John Bond from Riverwinds Consulting and this is Publishing Defined.
Today I am going to talk about choosing a book or journal printer. While the world assuredly is going digital, print has remained part of the necessary offerings for many publishing companies.
Choosing the right partner can save money, ensure proper time to market, and guarantee quality. Here are six tips for choosing a book or journal printer.
First, when you consider potential partners, look national versus those just in your backyard. Be open minded to any national firm whether you can visit them on a regular basis or not. Other than an initial visit, there should be almost no reason to visit your printer a lot. Press approvals are a thing of the past in almost all circumstances.
Also, look for printers that do a lot of the business in the run size that you are working in. Don’t choose a short run printer to do a long run publication, and vice versa.
Second, only consider printers were the focus of their business is on books or journals. Commercial printers might be able to do the work, but a specialist is needed in this competitive market. They need to come to you with ways to save money or change processes during your relationship and working with a recognized firm should ensure this.
Third, when you go out for bid, be open to small changes in specs that might lower prices due to a company’s particular equipment. Let bidders know that changes to trim size, color usage, binding, and other factors would be considered, in addition to your original specs.
Fourth, look closely at paper costs and talk to the printers on how to ensure the best possible price without sacrificing quality or your vision of the publication. Spend as much time talking about paper, including house stocks, as you do talking about press costs.
Fifth, for journals, dive deeply into postage costs. Depending on the run length, talk about co-mailing and potential cost savings. For finalists in your bidding process, you may want to consider taking your mailing list and having an analysis done on projected postal costs. Where the printer is located regionally will definitely affect costs, plus or minus. Also look at the shipping costs for bulk mailing to a convention or to your offices. Spend almost as much time understanding postal costs as you do looking at printing and paper costs. For books, consider the final book weight to determine how it will affect shipping costs to customers.
Sixth, create a great request for proposal and ensure all aspects of the printing operations are covered. Send the RFP to qualified potential partners, hopefully at least five. With the resulting proposals from the printers, block out time to analyze them side by side very closely. Don’t just look at the bottom number. Call the bidders up and ask them a ton of questions. At the end of the day, choose a partner and not just low bidder. On time delivery and quality work count are obviously crucial.
Well that’s it. I’ve released a new eBook called, “The Request for Proposal in Publishing: Managing the RFP Process.” It is a short, focused guide to this essential business task that associations or societies use to find potential publishing partners. See the link in the notes below for more information on the book or how to purchase it.

The profession of printer became established after the invention of the moveable typeprinting press by Johannes Gutenberg around 1450, and proliferated throughout Europe. Such early printers often were recognizable by individual characteristics in the works they produced, such as type or typography, and since early printed books were made in relatively small quantities they are rare and collectible.
Today's printers include:
Newspaper printers, often owned by newspaper publishers
Magazine printers, usually independent of magazine publishers
Book printers, often not directly connected with book publishers
Commercial printers, often offering digital and traditional printing services
Trade printers, who offer wholesale rates within the printing industry
An artist who operates a printing press to execute their own works, especially by hand in limited runs, is usually distinguished from other printers by the term printmaker.
