Help me find a printing house in Toronto!

May 14, 2007 8:32 PM

Can anyone recommend -- on short notice -- a good printer in the Toronto-area for a short-run magazine?

I'm working on a magazine which is launching June 1st. We just got an email today from our printer saying they were booked up for the month, and wouldn't be able to print our run (this despite telling us two weeks ago that everything was a go). They gave us a couple contacts to other printers to check out, but I'm more than a little worried that the other two printers will be too busy to take on our run.

So I need a reliable second, third, or even fourth choice. We were originally planning a run of 500 copies, but may have to scale back since that was based on a really good quote from the original printers (who were, ha, doing us a favour).

If anyone has had any experience with Toronto (or area) printers who could potentially print our run in time for our launch, please please please tell me about them. We're really scrambling here. How do you hold a magazine launch without a magazine?

You might drop Jim Munroe a line; he's a self-publishing guru in Toronto. He'd probably be able to point you in the right direction.
