Choosing the right printing partner is among the most critical business decisions that today's publishers face. Ever-heightening competition means the printed product must not only look great, but also be produced cost-effectively and to a strict deadline. For those in publishing who want to stay ahead of the game, a trustworthy printer is an invaluable asset.

What makes Dollco a great choice for your print needs?

Here are some reasons why publishers choose Dollco Printing:

Customer service

Dollco prints over 100 magazine titles. Publishers appreciate our seasoned customer service professionals, who bring a wealth of magazine printing experience to the relationship. This means they go beyond managing the printing and binding of your publication. They also coordinate complex distribution requirements and mail preparation for optimal postage. Finally, their publications savvy also helps with managing the production cycle, because they are as familiar with crucial deadlines for advertisers or distributors as your own production manager.

Competitive pricing

Dollco maintains competitive pricing through continuous improvements in workflow efficiency and through economies of scale in our purchasing. We standardize workflow by adhering to internationally recognized ISO 9001-2000 standards and by cultivating lean manufacturing methods in an ongoing exercise of enterprise-wide assessment and improvement.

Color management

Color management is all about achieving consistent, predictable color with the least amount of waste and the most efficient workflow.

• We tailor our scanning devices to match our presses and printing conditions.
• We fingerprint our presses and use that data to calibrate to the award-winning EFI Best® color proofing system.
• We print using Staccato® high-definition screening technology at no extra cost. That means you get sharper images, greater photographic detail, and better color consistency as a standard part of our service.
• Dollco reinvests in its operation. New presses and new press technology ensure that we have the most modern color management tools, such as scanning densitometers and spectrophotometers. These high-tech gadgets make it possible to achieve a very advanced level of fine-tuning.

Range of products and services

Dollco's variety of press equipment—web, sheetfed, and digital—lets you print your circulation and publishing products with the same supplier that prints your magazine. We can produce outserts, inserts, business reply cards, media kits, cover wraps, reprints, rate cards, or tip-ons.

Our mailing and bindery departments work in tandem so that we can address your magazine inline on the same machine that is stitching it. We also offer the option of offline inkjetting polybagging material. Dollco's data processing department prepares millions of records each year to Canadian and U.S. postal requirements for publications.

Combined with our data programming capability, Dollco's digital presses produce the personalized subscription or billing correspondence managed by your circulation department.

Our ability to print and mail all of your publishing and circulation products within one operation removes the need to move your projects around from vendor to vendor. We deal with your circulation and your production departments.
