A. ok so that type of printing you are looking to do - is well very expensive and many places that do it arent neccessarily advertising it- for printers money is in the 4color process high speed quick printing- so - your art could be printed 4 color process- but the paper is gonna kill you- cause printers make you buy the whole roll or qy they have to purchase so they dont lose dolla$. And printers would want to do high quantity- if you are looking for low quantity in a 1 or 2 colors try the phonebook and look for "offset printing" it smaller presses and you can usually do smaller quantities of 500 -1000 to be honest- unless there is a high-end niche target market, you may want to look for another avenue of business. becuase ac moore and… [cont.]

Is there an effective way to easily compare printing services in terms of cost and quality?
Q. There are seemingly thousands of different printing services out there, but it seems very difficult to compare among them. I find myself visiting many different companies and spending a great deal of time trying to compare them. There are price comparison search engines for products, but I don't know of any for printing services. Do they exist? Even just a general printing service price tracker? There is also the question of quality - do any sites review and compare the quality of services? Even if there are no quality review sites, simply a good price comparison tool would be helpful. Most printers can make arrangements to provide samples, allowing the quality question to be answered.

(how fast they can comply) but you can try asking for quotes...samples will help with a proper quote from how exactly you want the outcome to be... from there you can compare... just narrow down to at least 2 companies... or you can try this...
