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
500 - $ 2009.00 - $4.01 each

250 is the minimum for Offset printed magazines.
12 sheet self cover - same as above
250 - $ 1739.00
500 - $ 2819.00
Digital printed full colour throughout on 80# gloss text no bleed
8 sheet self cover booklets - 11 x 17" - 4/4 color - folded and saddle stitched to 8.5 x 11" - no bleed
50 - $ 149.00
250 - $ 549.00
500 - $ 729.00

12 sheet - self cover- same as above
50 - $ 219.00
250 - $ 829.00
500 - $ 989.00

50 is the minimum for Digitally printed magazines.

For this assignment, I went to visit a local printer in the city of Surrey called Printfastic. Printfastic has been in business for over 25 years, and is a family business run and operated by Susan Thomas, and her husband. They mostly provide their services to the surrounding businesses, as well as ones, which are located in the cities of Delta, White Rock, and New Westminster. I was really pleased with their fast and friendly services since she replied to my e-mails, and phone call on time and in most cases within a few minutes of my calls or e-mails.

Below, you can find the list of the quotes I received from her for the given numbers of pages, dimensions, as well as the type of print, and binding.

Binding methods used for multi-page layouts


Picture_1.pngPicture_3.png

Picture_4.png
Perfect Binding - Loose sheets are gathered in a stack rather than nested. The spine side of the stack is milled to remove the folded edges. Melted adhesive is applied along the spine edges of the pages. The cover is applied while the glue is hot and wrapped around the book. The book is trimmed on a three-knife trimmer.
Girth: Up to 2 3/8"
Low Cost
Moderate Durability
Printable spine

Case Binding/Hard Cover/Smythe Sewn - Gathered signatures are assembled and sewn along the spine. The sewn book block is then glued on the spine and trimmed on three sides. The trimmed book block is then glued to an outer cover or case, which is manufactured separately. The case is held to the book block by end-sheets attached to the first and last signatures and glued to the inside covers.
Girth: 3" for hardcover, 1 3/4" for paperback
High Cost
High Durability
Printable spine

Saddle Stitch Binding - Cover and signatures are nested one within the other and hung over a chain or "saddle." Covers are scored and folded on the same machine and then laid on top of the signatures. Cover and signatures are wire stitched (stapled) at the center of the spine, and then trimmed.
Girth: Up to 1/2"
Low Cost
Moderate Durability

(Thermal) Tape Binding - Signatures and covers are assembled, collated, and trimmed on all sides. A strip of flexible cloth tape that contains flue is applied on the edges of the spine and heated. The glue melts and spreads, gluing the covers and signatures together.
Girth: Up to 1 3/4"
Moderate Durability
