New Stuff. Still simple.

We are excited to (Finally!) tell you about the new upgrades to our Printme1.com site.

We designed our site back in 2008 to be a simple, low cost alternative to the big box print guys like FedEx Kinko's and Staples. For the last year, we have been working on major pdf reading improvements (completed!) and now installing some upgrades that would provide useful features to the site.

We just added a color printing option. You can choose to print in color for 24¢ per page. Color printing uses a heavier 24# white paper to make heavy coverage more opaque. It uses a dry toner process and has a resolution of 2400 equivalent dpi x 600 dpi at 256 gradations. It's great for typical color uses.

We also just added premium binding options. Coil, Wire-O, & Velo. Coil is a "spun-on" plastic coil. Looks nice and lays flat. Wire-O is a a metal wire comb that looks great and also lays flat. Velo binding is for docs that need to be super-sturdy and do not need to lay flat.

In additional to our standard GBC binding comb option, we are adding the option to substitute Three Hole Punch (3HP) or no binding on the checkout page. These substitutes are for our users who have combined many different PDF's into one file and want to re-collate them on their own.

We moved all of the order/job details to page 2 of the order process where you can see them in one place.

We still use Paypal as our payment processor and ship to the address you use there, so we do not have to ask you for that info in our process.

Starting with this site update, the price for B&W is 3.9¢ and the minimum order is $13.99. We've done our best to keep prices down over the last two years, but we've seen increases in our materials and shipping since we opened for business (remember, basic shipping is always included in out price), so we hope you understand that any change in prices from us are just from us trying to keep up with our costs.

That's it. We hope you like it. We invite you to try it out, and give us any feedback here, or also on our Facebook page.

Thanks!

  1. Every time I click on the "Browse" button to start the process, your website locks up my Windows Explorer and the website freezes up and goes blank. I've tried this three times this morning and it happens every time. Is there some kind of problem with your site right now?
