Need some help please

Hi I'm new to this please can some one help me I have a coach tour company and some hotel in the uk and think to start doing my own brochure,brochure books and leaflet printing for my business will be doing upto 10.000 copy a month in full colour can someone tell me which printing press or copy or something else I should get

 

My first question is what advantage(s) are you wanting by printing these yourself?
Do you need immediate turnaround (same day?)
Are these short runs (less than 1,000?)
Is each brochure customized?

Quality printing also involves coating (gloss, matte, spot), trimming, scoring, folding, bindery for book/booklet, not to mention maintenance.
Anything common at "standard good quality level" that can be ordered in 1,000, 2,500, 5,000 or 10,000 qty from an established printer is usually more economical.

 

Yes, I am wanting to print the brouchures in house as our current cost is £900,000 per year. By bringing this in house we are looking to make savings over time. We will not require immediate turn around as, we will be printing in advance for each season. Therefore time will not be a constraint. The quantity required each time is 10,000 and brouchures will be customised each season therefore, each batch during the relevant season will be the same at 10,000 quantity.

We will require high quality standard therefore, gloss matte etc will be required.

I look forward to your response.

Kind Regards
Rob

 

You're spending 900 grand per year for 40,000 brochures?
You need to shop around.

To get a clean fold on digital brochures you'd be best off getting a creaser as well as an air feed folder unless by brochure you mean booklet then the inline option on a KM machine would do you well.

There's a little variance between glossy and not but not as much as litho because of the nature of dry ink vs wet.
You also need extra equipment if your idea of glossy is that deep, wet, high gloss you see on magazine covers and postcards. That requires another piece of equipment.
You'll also get some variance in color across a 10,000 run of color on digital that you won't get on offset.

Tell us more about the projects that you're running (page count, size, stock, finishing) and we can get you a better idea of which direction to go...

 

I'm reading 10,000 per month x 12 months or 120,000 a year. I think these must be multi-page booklets with that cost.

I agree printing 10,000 per run and a 900,000 yearly budget makes this a job many printers would like to handle. That's also enough budget to setup in house something decent if you want to oversee such an operation.

 

I'd call up Konica, Canon, Xerox and Ricoh and ask for a demo.
Tell them your goals and let them see the document you wish to print and quantities & see what they offer.
Seeing a copy printed off the machine is good to get an idea of how your work can come out but I'd also ask to speak to other customers with their equipment and see if they are happy & what hurdles they had to overcome.
