Does the design price include the finished product?
No. This rate includes graphic design and layout, and preparation in a format that you, or I can deliver to a printer of your choice. You are responsible for all printing costs.

How do I find the best printing price? To get an accurate quote, a printer requires:
- How many colours are involved: A regular flyer on glossy paper requires 4-colour printing (the most expensive). A printing press works with CMYK (Cyan-light blue; Magenta-pink; Yellow & K-Black) - these four colours are needed to re-create most other colours. You can choose to print only one colour (K-black on coloured paper stock for a flyer) or any combination of these 4 colours, the less colours, the cheaper the job. Contact me if you are not sure how many colours should be printed, sometimes 2 colours can be as effective as 4.
- Size: Final cut size of the finished product, paper comes in a variety of sizes in sheets and on rolls, cutting is charged extra - to keep printing costs low, make sure to use standard sizes. Ask your printer the sheet size of the printing paper (stock) you like.
- Paper Stock: Choose the right paper for your project (if you have a sample, show it to the printer). Paper varies widely from newsprint to glossy stock and many ‘weights’ and ‘coatings’ (glossy stock of different thicknesses). Make sure that the printer has a press that can handle the paper size and weight you require - they may have to find a third party to print your job thus making your job more expansive.
