Need to get an estimate on offset printing but not sure what to ask for? I've created a downloadable PDF form with all the questions you need to answer to get an accurate estimate from your printer. Even better, I've put together an instruction sheet that explains terms of art, how to spec like a pro, and insider tips on how to save money.

Just click on the images below to download the files. The form is an editable PDF so you can start typing as soon as it loads. Completed forms can be faxed or emailed directly to your printer account rep.
