Funeral Program Printing Tips Save
Money
By Titus Gerard
Here are a few tips for printing a memorial funeral
program. Once you have completed preparing the funeral
program you have several options for getting the program
printed. Funeral Printer is great resource for print
ready funeral programs.
Printing the obituary program yourself is the most
economical way to print for a funeral. The funeral home
will charge you a premium for this service that is why
we highly recommend printing them. The average cost for
funeral programs printed by the funeral home is roughly
$350. This is mainly because most funeral homes
outsource their printing to local print shops after
which they mark up the price.
If you have a desktop printer such as a DeskJet or
Inkjet printer you can print the memorial programs just
fine. It may take a little longer than a color laser
printer; it will still get the job done. We suggest you
start early to prevent running late in your printing
endeavors.
If you have an Inkjet printer you can save a bundle of
money for cartridges by purchasing them from retailers
on eBay. Just be sure to check their ratings before your
purchase from them. Just search for your cartridge on
EBay by printer name or by cartridge number, this will
save you a bundle of money.
Many of the office stores such as Staples, OfficeMax,
Office Depot and even Kinkos provide what is called
color copies. Most of them have high quality color
copiers that cost nearly a hundred thousand dollars. In
other words they have to sell color printing at a
fraction in order to pay for the machine itself. As of
this writing Staples sells color copies for just.49
cents as well as their competitors. Some Kinkos will
honor the funeral obituary program and give you a
discount on the color printing. Just ask for it!
If you need several hundred printed you can search the
internet for "color copies" and you will find several
online suppliers eager to print your love ones funeral
programs. You will need to be able to save the file as a
PDF or TIFF file for printing. You can attach the file
to an email message and that's basically it. Your
funeral programs will be printed in full color on a high
quality machine. For Microsoft Publisher 2003 and 2007
users simply save the file as a Tiff file under the Save
as menu. The only draw back is that you have to save
each page individually.
In conclusion printing funeral programs can be a
daunting task but you can save lots of money by printing
your love ones obituary yourself. Enhance your love ones
funeral ceremony with a pre-designed funeral program
template. Tip for Windows Users: if your printer receive
the data from the computer and does not print, clean the
temp folder by deleting its contents. Clear your printer
by resetting it and print the publication again. The
temp folder is located in the Windows directory on the
C: Drive.
