New to Printing

Communicate your message through Print

If you are new to printing, you are probably unaware how easy, effective and affordable it is to communicate your message to your prospects, customers and stake holders.

Whether you are printing your Business Stationary, a Postcard or building sales with a Direct Mail campaign, there are a few steps you need to consider and understand.

Below is a brief overview of what you need to consider prior to arranging your project. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us on 1300 780 626.

Artwork

You will need to consider how you go about your Graphic Design.  Basically, you have two options..

1. You design your own artwork and then supply the final file as a PDF 

At Momentum print we have specialist File Managers and can accept Graphic design in just above any program.  Just ensure that you have used high resolution pictures (nothing off the web). If you are unsure send your file to us for a Free File review.  If you are part of an organisation that has a Graphic designer, get them to call us and we can discuss the best way to supply artwork.

2. Pay an expert Graphic Designer to do your own design

If you don’t have access to a good Graphic Designer, this is definately worth the investment. Having an expert do your design means that you will have high quality artwork that you can also use for further marketing of your business. Just ensure you do your market research and get your message the way you want it. Remember Graphic Designers are experts in Graphic Design and not neccessarily Sales & Marketing.  At Momentum Print we have highly trained professional staff that can help you with all of your Graphic Design needs from Business Cards, Postcards, Brochures to Logo Design.  When ordering, simply choose the Design option after selecting your product, then leave your Design brief and email your art files/copy after your order is complete. 

Please call us on 1300 780 626 for more information on Artwork, send an email via our Contact Us page or Request a Quote now.

Paper

What style of paper are you going to select?

Paper is approximately 30% of the printing cost of your project, therefore paper decision can affect the price dramatically.  The common papers people choose between are Gloss, Matt, Uncoated and Specialty.

Colours

You will need to consider how may colours you will print your project in.

Quite simply, the more colours - the higher the cost. 

However if you choose to print in Full Colour through our online public catalogue you can save up to 50% on Business Cards, Postcards & Flyers.  Click on the quick links to the left to get started.

For larger projects or custom jobs where you would like to specify papers, sizes and different finishes you need to really think how many colours you can get away with. Black Ink is the most cost effective (white isnt included as that is just the paper), followed by 1PMS colour, 2PMS colours, then CMYK or Full Colour.  Note: PMS =Pantone Matching System. This is how we get your colour right each time.

If you have any photos and you want them in colour, then your printing will be Full Colour otherwise known as - CMYK, Four Colour Process, Process or Colour.

This information should give you the basics to get you started.
