Commercial Printing comes down to 3 important factors

• 1. PRICE Your average Maui Printing presses keep their pricing competitive by utilizing lower quality (lighter to ship) papers that are no thicker than several sheets of ordinary paper, the presses are also unable to seal the color, improve the shine and protect against the elements by applying a UV coating that repels moisture, fading, cracking and peeling. Color calibration with some of Maui's aging presses is not guaranteed, and several clients have reported color matching and density issues that look nothing like the original. In addition, to keep costs competitive, Maui Presses require the printing to be done on a "Gang Run" (waiting until a enough jobs accumulate to entirely fill up a press run so there is no wasted space once the press begins to print). This brings the average 3.5" x 2" business card cost down to $125 for a single-sided card on 100 lb. non-UV-coated stock? <i>(about half the thickness of Maui Print Shop's 16pt stock).</i> Want to add backside color printing? It almost doubles the cost on these antiquated Maui presses!

  At Maui Print Shop, all of our printed materials are full color, single OR double sided, full-bleed (image runs off the edge), UV Gloss, Matte or Aqueous Coated, directly printed on up to 16 point extra thick premium cardstock; printed faster and cheaper than the competition!

• 2. STOCK (Ink, Paper, Glossy Coating). We print on recycled stocks, using soy-based inks and are always looking to limit our carbon footprint as much as possible.

  Our ability to print on 16 pt. glossy card stock (almost as thick as a credit card) and utilize UV coating (ensuring higher gloss, better color, as well as fade and moisture resistance) comes standard on every order, and Matte (non-shiny) stock is also available. Linen papers are also available for letterhead, envelopes, etc. We also offer a spot Silver ink (PMS877C).

• 3. TURNAROUND TIME Your average Maui Printing Companies keep their pricing competitve by utilizing the aforementioned "Gang Runs" (waiting until the press fills up with enough orders to make it economical to run the press and stay competitively priced.) This can delay turnaround times up to 1-3 WEEKS!).
  

Maui Print Shop guarantees your printing will be printed, cut, folded and in the mail via UPS 2 Day Delivery within 2-5 business days; usually sooner. *(Some tri-fold brochures require a 7 day turnaround).
