Fedex Office
« Thread Started on Apr 9, 2010, 2:58pm »

Has anyone ever considered using Fedex Office as an option for printing? Since I am bone dry on ink, and on a tight budget at the moment, I've been looking it over, and it seems to be only like a buck and change for per letter size 110lb cardstock color printout in their customize option on the website. I'm thinking of giving it a shot.

I use similar printing service on doing my project. They charge much cheaper though in my country. It's useful to cram as many figures into a page. Here I get 30 archers printed on a 230gsm A3 ivory paper

for about 50 cents.

I did try out their service, and though it is a bit expensive with large jobs, small jobs might be worth it. Fedex's definition of 110lb cardstock and a manufacturers definition seem to be totally different as it seems to be a heavier material (though could just be higher quality material), and the color was almost as bright and rich as when I print on matte photo paper from home.

I may consider doing more in the future as most jobs only take a couple hours to print.
