PrintImage International (Chicago) has completed its 2001-2002 Pricing Study. The study details responses on product pricing from nearly 10,000 survey forms sent to quick printers, copy shops and small commercial printers. It includes a breakdown of paper markup practices, pricing of brokered services and pricing for products that use special binding. The study is available to association members for $125 and to non-members for $195.
PrintImage has also released its Basic Job Description Set, which provides definitions of such key positions as bindery operator, customer service, outside sales, graphic designer/desktop publisher, press operator and production manager. Available on CD-ROM in both Mac and PC formats, the Basic Job Description Set costs $119 for members and $129 for non-members. A Deluxe Set, which gives descriptions for additional job titles, costs $189 for members and $199 for non-members. To order either the pricing study or the job descriptions, call (800) 234-0040.
