2. China was where printing methods were developed, as
early as the 6th century CE. During that period, block
printing methods were in use to produce cloth as well as
manuscripts, wall hangings, and tapestries.

4. The oldest surviving printed book, a Buddhist scripture,
dates to 868 CE, and the movable type printer was
invented by Pi Sheng in 1040 CE. There are wonderful
legends that describe libraries filled with printed books
in Asia as well as Arabia. And, in all probability, the art
of printing services went from China to Europe along
the Silk Route through India, the Arab world, Persia,
and Egypt.
5. In Germany, one of the first to develop printing
technology using oil-based inks and movable types was
Johann Gutenberg, and since then printing has
revolutionized the spread of knowledge.
There are many innovative methods used, such as offset
printing, relief print, screen printing, silk screen,
rotogravure, laser printing, and digital printing.
6. The term "printing services" has gone to
encompass duties beyond just printing. They
offer design, processing, as well as printing -
every aspect of producing a newsletter, brochure,
business card, poster, magazine, or book is done
in-house.
And there is more. The neighborhood print shop
has gone online--you can, at the click of a mouse,
get estimates, schedules, and proofs for checking.
They offer the whole gamut of printing services
at competitive prices and quality.
7. So, you can get on-demand printing, digital printing, and
offset printing done professionally with quick turn-
around time. There are discounts for reprints, as well as
the ease of uploading files electronically, thereby
minimizing transfer errors. The services offer a great
selection of paper, fonts, and color options all from your
computer system, with the product being delivered on-
schedule to your doorstep.
8. On-line or off-line, to make the most of your budget you
need to use a printing service that can give you value for
your money. Always match your print job to a printer's
area of expertise, type of printing, and kind of printing.
Aim to get the best quality at the lowest price, and on
time. Always be market-savvy and ask for at least three
quotes or bids, especially for a large-volume job. Ensure
that the printer knows his business and is able to give
valuable and effective advice on paper, binding, and the
use of special colors.
9. Printing can be a complex business, but eases problems
by providing material in formats given by the printer. Be
sure to outline instructions clearly and in writing or by
e-mail. Mark corrections legibly on proofs, and provide
enough time to do a world-class job.
