Weblog
Well, it has been quite an experience taking our business from phones, email and all the other typical business communications methods to a more streamlined and more customer oriented web application to sell our products and service our customers.
We started out getting a lot of traffic from our fellow “techies” out there, and quickly were found out by the freelance designers in the world. Next we were fortunate to work with many of the hardworking and very talented freelance and graphic designer firms all across the US, then we started getting inquiries and live jobs from corporate america, top clothing brands and non-profit groups, who of course were buying recycled paper based print jobs.
Who?
Ralph Lauren, Verdura Jewelers, US Helicopters, Silas Partners, a group of 17 doctors in Virginia, a Bio-Deisel company in California, Pentagon Software, a movie producer, Phoenix Marketing, UsedBicycleBuyer.com, Viacube, and not to mention AIGA.org/The United Nations, the non-profit group that is helping to build alliances and programs internationally for graphic designers.
What? Pocket folders, business stationery, many, many orders on recycled paper, brochures, envelopes, business cards, sell sheets, postcards, photo printing, giclee prints and many others.
We are very happy to have worked with such great organizations, brands and non-profit groups.
Thank you for all your support,
The Marketing Team at Print Promotion.com

Welcome to the page that will help you get the best quality stationery.
Basically, stationery is the simplest form of business communication there is. Business cards, letterhead, envelopes, announcement cards, etc. are all simple forms of printed communications, but when crafted poorly, these staples of a good business practice can really hurt you.
So, the pitfalls are;
Really cheap stationery printers - Because they will not put the craftmanship into the printing, trimming, packing, and paper choices that you will need.
Full Color Stationery only printers – Because they cannot offer you match color or spot color (Pantone®) PMS color inks to ensure a good color match througout your stationery set and beyond into other printing you may do like a sales kit. We offer PMS matching inks throughout our stationery lines and pocket folders as well.
We offer the traditional craftmanship that you need, quality paper choices from all the top brands like, Strathmore, Wausau, Neenah, Capital Bond and more. We offer you color choices of White, Bright White, Ultimate White, Ivory Baronial, Natural as well as a variety of recycled papers, like Neenah Environments.
We offer flat and raised letter printing in order to help you achieve the right look and feel that your business deserves.

Inequality Matters
Inequality of income, access to health and education, and access to markets for trade is trapping people in a cycle of poverty despite their best efforts.
Rich countries account for more than 50 percent of the world’s annual income, but less than 20 percent of the population. The posters in the “Inequality Matters†series illustrate how much disparity there is in the world even in the fundamental human conditions.
About the poster series
The posters were conceived and designed by Tom Geismar through AIGA for the Human Development Report Office of the United Nations Development Programme in anticipation of The 2005 World Summit. The Summit, held on September 14-16, 2005, is the largest gathering of world leaders in history. Heads of state will attempt to forge a common agenda on international development, security and human rights.

And guess who printed them…PrintPromotion was extremely fortunate to have been chosen to prep, proof and print these beautifully designed posters for this life changing event taking place at the UN this next few days.
We hope that the members of the UN take notice of the messages on the posters. The content and message of all the posters are that things are not equal among the worlds poplulation and show how the numbers stack against some countries more than others, and we here in the US need to pay attention to what advantages we have and not take them for granted.
A mesage from the designer:
I did want to thank you for the terrific job you all did with the UNDP posters. The printing was excellent, and you turned it around in very little time. And I especially appreciated your spirit of helpfulness and cooperation. As is so often the case, here was a 3 year project that went down to the last minute, and somehow you pulled it off.
Please keep me informed of Print Promotions activities; hopefully we can do other projects in the future.
Best regards,
Tom

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.
