Overnight Prints Review

Posted in Business Reviews on by James Spinosa – Be the first to comment

overnight printsOvernight Prints is an internet based printing company that specializes in high quality products with a fast turn around time. Overnight Prints is one of the few companies that offers single business day turnaround times, according to their website and the customer service department if you place an order by 5:00PM PST it will ship the same day from their Kentucky facility and with next business day shipping it will arrive the next day.

I actually use Overnight Prints myself for business cards, and I can say that the print quality is amazing. Compared to what I was getting from local print companies there is simply no comparison in the quality, and even with shipping time it arrived faster than the estimated turnaround time from local printers. One of the main reasons that Overnight Prints (http://www.overnightprints.com) is able to produce high quality products at a fast rate is that they use both of the major technologies, offset and digital printing. The color quality is better on offset printing but it is not economical for smaller printing jobs, for myself I went with digital printing and my cards came out great. It appears that now for any order over 100 cards you will be getting offset printing, which gives about four times better color clarity. Continue review... Overnight Prints Review

99Designs Review

99Designs99Designs is a crowdsourced graphic design marketplace with around 80,000 designers registered. Crowdsourcing is when you have a large group of people work together on a project collaboratively, in this case you offer a cash reward as a prize for a design competition where many professional designers submit original works based on specifications from the person posting the design project.

I first heard about this company through an internet marketing book that I was reading by Darmesh Shah. I have actually been doing this myself independently for a while using various graphic design forums and posting contests myself; 99Designs (http://www.99Designs.com) attracts a different audience than I was seeking as it brings in many professional designers rather than talented amateurs.

Competitions such as these have angered some within the design community as it can drastically cut down on the price of design. Rather than picking one designer and making many modifications to it, you get many designs and simply choose the one that fits best and then work from there. Continue review... 99Designs Review

123Inkjets Review

123inkjets.com123Inkjets is a discount ink retailer that was founded in 1999. 123Inkjets.com is based in Simi Valley, California where they handle 100% of their product fulfillment. They produce the same high quality ink cartridges that you would get from the manufacturer of your printer, but the difference is that their cartridges are significantly cheaper. Their prices are typically 40-80% cheaper than the retail OEM cartridges that you would buy from your manufacturer or from an office supply place like Staples or Office Depot. Use the 123Inkjets coupon at the bottom of this review to get free shipping & a percentage off your entire order.

There are two products that have always irritated me, ink cartridges and disposable razor heads because they both give out the main component basically for free (Ex: Free printer with purchase of a computer or a free razor on your 18th birthday), but then they charge you a ridiculous amount for using the disposable part of the product. Manufacturers have helped to reinforce the myths that if you use ink cartridges other than the originals it will somehow damage or printer or that it will be a complicated process. I can assure you that as a technology specialist for five years that it does not matter at all whether you use the OEM ink cartridges or ink manufactured by 123Inkjets.com. You should also know that under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act it would be illegal to make these cartridges void your warranty; your right to use after-market parts such as ink cartridges is protected by federal law.
