I went to Clubcard for quotes on magazine printing. Clubcard has 2 locations in Vancouver, and they are also located in San Francisco. They offer all the standard printing options of course, as well as a "Tree Free" printing option, where the paper is 100% post-consumer waste content and the inks are soy-based. The staff were extremely helpful, and they had some great examples of their work - the samples had a current feel to them. I was quoted on 2 options for magazine printing, both on 11" x 17" paper, and they are as follows:
Offset printed full colour throughout on 100# gloss text full bleed
8 sheet self cover booklets - 11 x 17" - 4/4 color - folded and saddle stitched to 8.5 x 11" - full bleed
250 - $ 1249.00 - $4.99 each
