This service is an excellent way to get the print work you need for your business. Ink is so expensive. Using this service can save time and funds. I have been using this service for over ten years. Used for binding training booklets to flyers to business cards, all were completed as stated and finished in a professional way. Here's the savings: For a training booklet of 50 pages with colored illustrated pictures cost less than $70.00. If I had printed the same booklets at home (just black and white printing) it would have cost 4 ink cartridges at $23 per cartridge. Adding the cost of paper, not to mention the time, it would have cost close to $150. (2 cartons of paper). Plus, the cost book binding. At Staples that cost $5.00 each; still cheaper than a bindery plant, plus the savings of time. The staff is always courteous and patient enough to listen to your needs and concerns regarding your order.
At this review, the cost of color printing is higher than when I printed and bound the training booklets. The training was new for design and decorating, so it was vital that the training booklets were in color. The trainees needed to see the format and painting for faux finishing in color. As of February 2016, each color sheet printing is. 59 each. Black and white printing is. 20. All in all, if you're just starting out in your business and trying to save money, this is a viable option to your large volume printing needs. If you have a Staples reward card, you can 'earn' discounts for multiple supplies, equipment and services.
