You've got a business, you've got a project, you've got a copier, and you're ready to start doing all your printing yourself. Seems simple, right? Not necessarily. While internal presentations, projects, or small print runs may seem too small or insignificant to outsource to a commercial printer, there can be some great advantages to taking your project to a commercial printer. The combination of their experience and expertise can give you an important leg up in business. Moreover, the peace of mind you can experience while not having to worry about the technical aspects of printing is invaluable. Here are five good reasons to use a commercial printer:

1. Reclaim your Resource: The number one resource you have in your business is time, and even small printing projects can take up a significant amount of it. By outsourcing your printing to a commercial printer, such as Coastline Printing, you're saving your company both the time it takes to print large runs and the strain on your company printer, which can often be costly as well. In addition, you are saving yourself the headache of having to try to learn the process of printing in order to get your materials looking as good as commercial printer would have them to look. Working with a company like Coastline Printing alleviates this worry and leaves you free to concentrate on other, more important aspects of your business.

2. There is safety in numbers: Because commercial printers work in bulk the majority of the time, they are often able to get increased discounts on large orders and pass them on to the client. Thus, the commercial printer could do a project that you might consider doing yourself both more quickly and more cheaply as they have the resources available.

3. Design Improvement: Often commercial printers will have graphic designers or design experts on hand who can help ensure that your print run looks professional and clear up any last minute mistakes, which you may not have noticed. Though there may be some small extra cost involved, it is a small expense when compared to the problems you could have with spelling errors or grainy or blurred graphics.

4. To Whom It May Concern: Most commercial printers will deliver directly to your clients, and several will allow you to email in the proofs to them, so your work can be done quickly and delivered directly to either your door, or the door of the business who needs it directly.

5. Quality Assurance: In addition to having someone to look over your work, you also have the assurance of the company you are working with to provide you with high quality commercial printing. This gives you some leverage if you need adjustments or changes to your work. Moreover, by building a relationship with a commercial printer, you have someone who knows what you need, and the timeframes in which you need it.
