Why Professional Printing Beats In-House Color Copies
Why Buy Cheap Color Copies Online vs. Office Printing?
Thinking about printing in-house? It might cost more than you think. Office inkjet printers often cost $0.20 to $0.50 per color copy when you factor in ink, high-quality paper, and maintenance.
Our industrial digital press printing leverages bulk pricing. We pass these savings to you, often delivering finished color prints for less than the cost of your toner alone.
The 55Printing Advantage
- Unlimited Scalability: 25 copies or 10,000 flyers—same high speed.
- Large Formats: We print Legal (8.5x14) and Tabloid (11x17) copy duplication sizes.
- Rush Turnaround: Same-day production available.
- Professional Finishing: Folding, stapling, and binding included.
The Hidden Costs of Office Inkjet Printing: Standard office inkjet printers cost between $0.20 and $0.50 per page in color ink alone, not including premium paper stock, equipment depreciation from printer wear, or employee time managing paper jams and troubleshooting. Professional printing facilities leverage bulk purchasing power and industrial equipment to reduce these costs dramatically.
By utilizing our industrial digital presses, we aggregate printing volume from thousands of clients to purchase paper and toner at wholesale rates. These savings are passed directly to you—often providing finished color copies for less than the raw toner cost of home printing.
Professional Printing Advantages
- Unlimited Scalability: Whether printing 25 copies for an internal meeting or 10,000 flyers for a city-wide campaign, our presses handle any volume without speed reduction or quality loss.
- Extended Format Options: Home printers typically handle only Letter size. Professional cheap color copy services offer Legal (8.5x14), Tabloid (11x17), custom trimming, and specialty sizes.
- Rapid Print Copies Production Timelines: With Same-Day turnaround options available, professional printing completes, packages, and ships orders faster than most office printers could finish the first 100 copies.
- Premium Finishing Services: Access automated folding, saddle-stitching, hole-punching, and coil binding machines that deliver polished professional results hand-finishing cannot match.
Complete Guide to Paper Selection for Color Copies
Choosing the Right Paper for Your Prints
Paper weight affects the "feel" of your document. We offer a range of stocks from standard bond to rigid cardstock.
20lb Bond (Standard Copy Paper)
Best for: Internal memos, drafts, and forms.
Standard lightweight paper. Economical and perfect for high-volume text documents.
28lb Premium (Bright White)
Best for: Resumes, proposals, and presentations.
Thicker and brighter (98 brightness). Prevents ink show-through on double-sided color copies.
80lb / 100lb Gloss Text
Best for: Copy print, Brochures, flyers, and catalogs.
Magazine-quality paper with a shiny coating. Makes colors pop and images look vibrant.
100lb Gloss Cover (Cardstock)
Best for: Postcards, menus, and covers.
Rigid and durable. Stands up on its own. Ideal for heavy-duty marketing materials.
Understanding Paper Opacity: One significant advantage of upgrading paper stock for color copies is increased opacity. Standard copy paper is somewhat translucent—hold it to light and you can see text from the reverse side. Premium stocks are denser, preventing "show-through" and ensuring double-sided marketing materials appear clean, professional, and fully readable without ghosting.
20lb Bond (75 GSM)
The Standard Workhorse
Industry-standard for everyday color copying. Lightweight, economical, and flexible. Best for internal memos, draft documents, single-use forms, and classroom handouts where longevity isn't primary concern.
28lb Premium (105 GSM)
The Professional Choice
Noticeably brighter (96-98 brightness) and smoother than bond. Extra thickness prevents ink saturation from warping paper. Ideal for resumes, business proposals, color brochures, and presentations where quality matters.
80lb/100lb Gloss Text
The Magazine Look
Flexible paper with glossy coating that traps ink on surface for maximum color vibrancy and shine. Standard for takeout menus, product catalogs, promotional inserts, and professional brochures requiring visual impact.
100lb Gloss Cover
Rigid Professional Cardstock
Stiff, durable copies print stock similar to postcards and business cards. Stands independently and resists bending and creasing. Perfect for heavy flyers, book covers, table tents, and direct mailers requiring durability.
Tailored Cheap Color Copying Solutions by Industry

Financial Reports
Make your data clear. Use color prints for charts and graphs in annual reports. We offer secure, confidential printing for sensitive documents.
Maximize Marketing ROI with Professional Color Copies
In an increasingly digital world, physical printed materials provide tangible brand experiences that digital channels cannot replicate. Research consistently demonstrates that recipients are 55% more likely to engage with full-color documents compared to monochrome alternatives. Color strategically evokes emotion, directs visual attention to key information, and increases brand recognition by up to 80%.
Color copies represent one of the most cost-effective direct marketing channels available. Instead of committing to expensive offset printing setups for small runs, high-quality digital color printing on bright white paper delivers your message professionally and affordably. This enables A/B testing different designs and messaging without large financial commitments.
Professional Finishing Services Beyond Color Copying
Loose stacks of paper don't always represent your final product. Transform your cheap color copies into polished, professional documents using our automated finishing services that add value and professionalism.
Corner Stapling
The classic finishing choice for simple packets, instructional handouts, and multi-page forms. We automatically staple the top-left corner with precision.
Saddle Stitching
Ideal for booklets and catalogs (8-60 pages). Sheets are folded and stapled along the spine creating a professional magazine-style appearance.
Coil Binding
Continuous plastic spiral wound through punched holes. Allows documents to lay completely flat for easy reading and professional presentation.
Precision Folding
Machine-precision folding options include Tri-Fold (brochures), Z-Fold (accordion), and Half-Fold (cards). Professional results every time.
Always save images at minimum 300 DPI. Web-sourced images at 72 DPI will appear pixelated and blocky when printed on physical paper.
Include 0.125" bleed if color extends to page edges. This extra artwork is trimmed to prevent white borders and ensure coverage edge-to-edge.
Submit files as PDF, the preferred standard. PDF locks fonts and layout, ensuring screen appearance matches printed output exactly.
Convert files to CMYK before uploading. Screens use RGB light; printers use CMYK ink. RGB-to-print conversion can shift colors (bright blues becoming purple).
How to Order Perfect Prints Online

Most common ordering error! Our system counts total pages.
