No One Should Have to Fight a Dragon Alone

You put time and effort into building a good relationship with your print vendor. You trust each other. Your printer is capable of producing what you need — whether it’s direct mail, marketing materials, promo, signage or POP displays. And your printer delivers your items on time, at the quality level you expect and at […]

Buying print can be challenging, especially if it’s not your only responsibility. You need knowledge — for instance, on how to write specs, choose the right printer and price and manage the process. At the same time, you want to save money and time without compromising on quality. Meanwhile you are inundated with detail and […]

Best Quality, Price and Service – Get All Three: Built for the Job

Unfortunately, none of what is required for an organization to manage pre- and post-pricing details and break the Iron Triangle is handled by the methods and tools commonly used in procurement. They simply are not built for managing and sourcing custom print projects. That is why PrintLynxx exists…to do what common procurement solutions can’t. Only […]

In the previous segments we discussed the importance of managing the many pre- and post-pricing details of custom print projects. Because the ready-made, off-the-shelf goods they are built to buy don’t require the same level of detail; commonly-used procurement methods and tools don’t provide such functionality. That’s unfortunate, because those same functions also set the […]

Best Quality, Service and Price – Get All Three: Post Pricing Details

There isn’t much to be done once the buy is made for off-the-shelf goods. Custom printing, because of it’s made-to-specification nature, requires a lot more attention after the buy is made. This is especially true when achieving the best quality and service are part of the goal. General procurement doesn’t have to account for such […]

Procurement methods for common, off-the-shelf items are not built to handle all of the details print projects require before pricing is considered, let alone sought. Management and qualification of vendors, development of intensely detailed specifications and collaboration among key people who are often in very diverse roles are not as critical when sourcing pre-made items […]

No doubt you would love to receive the best quality, fastest delivery and lowest price for your print projects. Yet, conventional wisdom says only two of the three on any given job can be obtained. After all, increasing quality and speeding up delivery certainly does not drive the price down. So, how can you achieve […]
