Planning guides

Field notes for people hiring a live printing company.

Written by the crew that runs the stations — not a content farm. Each guide answers one planning question thoroughly enough to act on.

Drive radius, lodging math, per diem and freight explained, plus three questions that make two quotes comparable.

How to read local results, when a regional crew beats a hometown one, and the travel-fee math that decides it.

The one-page brief that gets you an accurate quote in a single email round — with a copy-paste template.

The vetting script: throughput, redundancy, insurance, garments, and the follow-ups that catch bluffing.

Prefer the short versions? The answers section compresses the same material into two-minute reads.
