Printing Services
Our many years in the printing and mailing business have taught us the importance of creating distinguished printed material on time and at a competitive price. Our skilled press operators and bindery staff are equipped to produce large or small-volume impressions with the highest quality and excellent turnaround.

Our new facility is equipped to meet the specific needs of newsletter publishers - particularly one - and two-color work. In addition, our sheet-fed multiple-color presses are ideal for printing ancillary materials, marketing brochures, inserts, order cards, and more.

Mailing Services
As newsletter publishers ourselves, we understand that timely delivery of each issue is crucial. Don't miss important deadlines because your current print shop can't get your material to your mail shop on time. Leave it in our hands. It's all part of being the one-stop shop.

Modern mailroom technology helps us get your job done right and on time. Our experienced operators can handle your most unique mail package, from a single newsletter issue to large, multi-insertion mailings, using a variety of carrier sizes. Best of all, everything's handled in-house.

Mailing costs dramatically affect your profits. To boost the bottom line of our own titles, we've become experts in postal regulation. Take advantage of our expertise. In-house quality assurance programs continuously maximize postal savings opportunities, and make sure your newsletters arrive at the post office properly packaged, sorted, and on time, every time.

Data Services
Managing your own subscriber and prospect lists can be very complicated. Our full-service Data Services department can add value and postage savings to your list through the latest list processing technology, including PostalSoft. We'll clean up your list, CASS-certify it, pre-sort it, and produce barcoded records in a variety of electronic and hard copy formats.

Electronic Pre-Press Production Services
Our state-of-the-art equipment and network allows you to send us your art and copy in many convenient ways, including FTP, E-mail, or on disk.

Take advantage of our talented desktop publishing staff to design and format your newsletter art and copy. We use the latest versions of most popular software programs, including PageMaker, Quark XPress, Illustrator, Photoshop, Streamline, Presswise, FrameMaker, and Microsoft Word - in both Mac and PC platforms.

In-house film output options range from 600 dpi laser paper to 2400dpi film from our Scitex and AGFA systems. Our advanced equipment even lets you review a digital blueline and make changes before film is output, saving you time and money.

Electronic Publishing
As information providers ourselves, we believe in offering content in any format our own subscribers want. If you feel the same, we invite you to explore our electronic services. We'll create and maintain your on-line newsletter -- even e-mail an exact version to your subscribers. We can also develop a searchable newsletter archive seamlessly linked from your website to our server. Or, if you're just getting started, we can design your website and give you newsletter-specific guidance for making it profitable.
