The important differences between custom runs and gang runs…
When you need to look your best, you need a custom run. By utilizing custom runs we can give each job the attention it deserves to ensure the best results.
Many online printers utilize gang run printing to offer lower prices, however, with lower prices comes a quality tradeoff. Gang runs can offer cost savings because they group a bunch of different jobs together and run them through the press all at once. These jobs share the setup costs, but they also share a color calibration and paper stock. The press operator has to choose a color calibration that will work for all jobs, making it sub par for each individual job. You’re also usually stuck with gloss coating that can look good for certain promotional pieces but can’t provide a more sophisticated feel when that is what you desire.
Our custom runs allow you to choose the paper stock right for your job and ensure the best results by calibrating the colors on press just for your job. On press your job has our undivided attention.
Gang runs are appropriate for certain situations, but when you need to look your absolute best, you need a custom run. Custom run pricing becomes more competitive as the quantity of your job increases.
