    Hello Everyone,

    I am a bit new at this. I am in the process of establishing my business which will be producing "flyer type magazines" or in other words coupon booklets. They are thin in size on 8x10.5, about 48 pages per booklet. I would be needing a large quantity per month. (I'd like to produce well over 100,000 units per month)

    I do have two questions:

    1.) If I decided to do this myself what is the type of print machine I should be looking for to do this type of work? How much $

    2.) If I decide to outsource this, where and how much could I possibly save?

    I'm located in Toronto. Your assistance and advice is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    48 pages X 100000 copy / month - that's not a big issue for an industriel press.

    an 8 color 4/4 press can give you around 12000 Sheets (*16 pages) every hour on the floor for a long run as 100K.
    so let's say one shift / section , and you are in need of 3 , so it is 2 shifts on press , and then you go to finishing.

    What do you do with that press for the rest of the month ?
    I would say , if you took a 4 color press , a rather old one , you could finish the job in one week top's....then what do you do for the next 3 weeks ?

    It is too high cost to have a press and all arround it for one job.

    go look for a good printer - i think this will outcome cheaper big time.

    Good luck

    Can someone tell me roughly how much it would cost if I decided to find a company that would bring me 50 gram magazines colour about 24 pages 8x10.5.. I'm just trying to get a sense of costs.. I'd be looking at minimum 100,000 pieces. Thanks!
