What You Can Expect From Don Shortman
Your PrintSource
With my Printing & Mailing Services, you can spend your time on the substance of what you have to communicate, not on the details of how your document will be printed and delivered. I am saving as much as 10% to35% over jobs bid independently, by leveraging my clients’ total print volume to obtain the best prices and quality possible. If you are buying your printing on your own, you potentially are paying more than you need to.It’s as simple as that. I save you time too, freeing you up to devote your time to your primary job responsibilities.
Production Specifications
Whether you are printing a simple one-page flyer or a 16-page full color brochure, I am available to work with you in determining the most cost-effective method of production. Consultation and guidance is provided in developing final size specifications, paper selection, and determining finishing and mailing requirements. I work closely with designers to understand their creative goals and recommend production methods that enhance design and complement the communication intent of the finished piece.
Competitive Bidding
With 30 years of printing experience, I work cohesively with a core group of previously qualified print vendors. I have a thorough knowledge of each vendor’s equipment and capabilities. All printing projects are bid to a select group of vendors, carefully matched to most cost-effectively meet your project requirements.
Production Planning
I will oversee your project throughout the entire production process to make sure that your deadline and quality expectations are met. For larger, more complex projects we can meet with the print provider and designer so that all parties have a full understanding of the scope of the project. Digitally submitted files will be "preflight," as necessary, to prevent problems with any elements that could be missing. I require color proofs from my print providers to make certain your finished piece meets the specifications of your design. Where necessary "on-press inspections" are conducted to guarantee accurate color fidelity and composition.
Web Site Development
In cooperation with our long term partnerships Don Shortman offers a dynamite web 2.0 package deal on a “soup to nuts” solution for the starter site — or as a freshen up to your existing web pages.

Mailing Services Printed pieces often need to be mailed. I will review the production specifications to verify that your piece meets applicable mailing regulations and can be mailed in the most cost-effective manner. I will also work with my Mailing Services staff to coordinate and oversee all aspects of the mailing process, from collating and inserting mailing components, to addressing, sorting, metering,and mailing. Coordinated mailing services assure that you don’t waste time or money getting your document to its intended audience. Current paper samples, Pantone Matching System colors watches, and samples of a wide variety of printing job save available to assist you in designing your projects. Contracts have been awarded to me for thermography, embossing, foil stamping, including letterhead, envelopes, and business cards, as well as roll labels among others.This enables you to save money by buying directly from the vendor. There is no charge for my service. I am paid as a 1099 employee of the selected vendor. They are grateful to be dealing with qualified new customers without advertising or cold calls. You’ll be billed by the vendor. If you have questions, or would like a free, no obligation consultation please call me at (508) 667-6365 or E-Mail don@donshortman.com |
