Jon Beacham is an artist (and former book dealer) who used to be based in
Beacon NY, but is now in Brooklyn, where he operates a letterpress out of
his Williamsburg studio. I’ve used him to do a couple projects and they’ve all
turned out well. Jon has a good aesthetic and has offered great advice on
how to reduce the price of projects without sacrificing quality.

This is the Chinatown-based printer that North Drive Press uses for most of our offset printing work. Our contact is named Andy.

We have used G+P to perfect bind our stuff. The quality is really great and it’s definitely reasonable in price.
—Megan Plunkett, Kingsboro Press
My art students researched quotes from numerous places for a project and G&P was definitely the most affordable offset printing in the city that they could find. They were also the easiest to work with.

We’ve yet to work with them. They were recommended by T-Shore as a high-quality printer that CAN handle 4-color text/interior printing. They also print in China. Allow for a 12-week window: 2 weeks proofing/pre-production, 4 weeks manufacturing, 6 weeks shipping from China!

swell guy. Contact: Brad Ewing

This is the cheapest xerox in New York. Its 5.5 cents for double sided 8.5”x11”
and 8.5 cents for a tabloid size. I think they usually print just brochures and
pamphlets for hospitals, so they are definitely not “fine arts” printer or a place
to drop off a job with, but if you are looking just to make a small zine or
book by yourself on a standard xerox, the machines are great and it’s
super, super cheap.

Really excellent quality letterpress. Not a ton of communication, but good
good prices (for NYC) and one week turnaround on small-run friendly business
cards. Their in-house paper stocks are nice.

Riso stencil printing, primarily working with artists and design groups, with
reasonably good turnaround, depending on the complexity of the project.

We used Duncan’s RISO to print issues 3 and 5 of Kingsboro. It is a really
amazing machine and Duncan is the greatest; he is super knowledgeable,
professional, and also awesome company!
