    Printing in the US costs 3x as much as in Europe?

    This is a clear step forward, thank you Could you email me that quote please? loki [AT] instereomag.com But yes, even in Europe you do need to find the right printer for the spec to make it work price-wise. My colleague assures me that he has tried around 30 companies though, so I was beginning...

    Printing in the US costs 3x as much as in Europe?

    That's helpful info about the large trim wastage. It's the sort of answer I've been looking for / wondering about. Thanks a lot for finding that quote for me. It's indeed about three times the prices in Western Europe. On your advice I'll broaden the types of specs I'm looking and see what...

    Printing in the US costs 3x as much as in Europe?

    As an independent company ourselves I really hate to hear of small businesses going under. The companies we use are mid-level as far as I can tell, and they print on-site (our t/a are 5 days). I looked at cheaper European countries like Poland and Lithuania just out of interest, and they were a...

    Printing in the US costs 3x as much as in Europe?

    We were looking at 90gsm, 5,000 to 10,000 qty, and yes saddle not perfect bound. Finished to standard A6, which is similar to the measurements above yes. If there's anything weird about that spec for the US then I'd love to hear it, from anyone. But again, the price is 300% of what we pay in...

    Printing in the US costs 3x as much as in Europe?

    Last I heard, the EU's environmental rules mean that anything ordered from outside is expensive, because of duty added, mainly for sustainable forest reasons. I'm no expert though. But again, Europe and the USA are equally developed, so it's not the same comparison. In fact, I believe the US...

    Printing in the US costs 3x as much as in Europe?

    Gregbatch / Lorenzo — yes this was my first thought too! However the printers so far have assured us that there is nothing about our spec pushing it particularly high. Do you recommend off-hand a common US paper format which is close to A6? Slammer — ha!

    Printing in the US costs 3x as much as in Europe?

    Yes me too. There have been some slightly cheaper options on the West Coast I think, but still a lot more expensive that the UK and Europe. Transport, again, adds to that cost making it basically the same as where we are looking to work — NYC. I find it really strange that there wouldn't be a...

    Printing in the US costs 3x as much as in Europe?

    What you're saying about overheads, materials and labour may stand in some situations, but not here. The US, UK and Germany are equally developed countries with similar economic circumstances. For the price to be literally tripled doesn't make sense. All I can fathom is that either a) this is...

    Printing in the US costs 3x as much as in Europe?

    Hi everyone, Please excuse if this is not the right place to ask this question, but we currently publish small magazines (A6 brochures) in the UK and Germany, and are looking to do the same in the New York area. We've been shocked so far to find that it seems to cost three times as much there...
