We use only the highest quality materials in the printing of your project. Our High Speed Digital Presses use only OEM Dry Ink and Newly Manufactured parts ensuring you the highest quality images and the crispest text. Some print shops will use third party ink and toner suppliers to cut cost, and with that, goes quality. Not at Short Run Printing, Ltd, we feel you can get high quality and a great price at the same time.

Two Types of Magazine Bindings:

We offer two types of Magazine Binding. First, we offer Saddle Stitching for magazines from 8 pages to 80 pages in increments of four (4) pages. Saddle Stitching is where the magazine is printed on double wide paper, folded in half, and stitched with wire -- similar to staples. Our Saddle Stitcher automatically trims the face edge cleanly at the desired size and compressed the spine for professional results. The Second binding type we offer is Perfect Binding. Perfect Binding is a glue binding that most Paperback Books use. It has a squared spine and, provided the spine is large enough and the necessary spine data is submitted, can be printed on. Perfect Binding must be at least 40 pages and increments in 2 page increases to over 500 pages.

The Technology we use to print your Magazines:

Our digital presses print at an astounding 1200DPI. This level of technology allows for amazing photo quality, sharp text, and smooth gradients at high speed. Don't trust your magazines to just anyone, let the experts at Short Run Printing, Ltd. use their experience and technology to your advantage

Every Project we print is Custom to the Customer. We DON'T Gang Projects like many discount shop do.

Papers: What to know...

There is a lot to know about papers, but here is a quick run down.

• Gloss Papers: Gloss papers are best in magazines and monthly/quarterly readers. They offer the best (lowest) cost while being excellent quality.
• Matte Papers: Matte papers are typically chosen for high end fashion and publications for the Arts. While the paper offers excellent quality and a unique feel, don't use in environments where readers will have dirty hands as dirt transfer is common (i.e. construction).
• Bond Papers: Bond papers are good in products that need to be written in. This paper offers good quality and is a perfect fit for things like workbooks and coloring books.
