Rush Jobs: 
The New Reality

Also the whole realm of digital printing has reduced turnaround time on shorter runs. We all know that fact. But our digital color printer has baled us out of some serious four-color rush jams lately (think holiday greeting cards). I feel very fortunate we have such technology available to us.

And last, I do believe the key to dealing with rush work is communication and more communication. Talk to your customer early about such things as proofing schedules; change from a mill order paper; drop outside foil stamping just this once; eliminate that giant blue solid in order to help us make your date.
