Resources
Below are companies that I use regularly or have used in the past. It’s a YMMV kind of thing, of course.
Printers
- Turbo Press (Local to Denver): A small printer that does good work
- Publication Printers (Local to Denver): Web printer with two huge presses. Their prices generally can't be beat if you have a big job
- PrintPlace (online) I've been using them for about 12 years. They generally don't make mistakes, but if they do, they make it right.
- Uprinting (online) Another printer I've been using for years. Their work is good although their prices have risen over the last few years.
- VistaPrint (online) I only use Vistaprint if a client insists on it. I think their prices are too high for what you get.
- Overnight Prints (online) Their prices are good but their quality can sometimes be iff-y. I think it's a result of growing too fast, though.
- Zoo Printing (online) A good, general printer. They can handle bigger jobs.
- Blurb (online) Blurb is mainly for books. They have an InDesign plug-in that saves so much time when designing a book. Their prices are pretty good, too.
- Mixbook (online) Same as Blurb—they specialize in books.
Education
- Lynda.com (online) Lynda.com is owned by LinkedIn now but they still provide great classes and instruction on how to do most anything business-related.
- Boulder Digital Arts (in-person and online) Boulder Digital Arts is transitioning to distance learning which is a great thing. They provide many classes for designers, photographers, and film editors.
- Video CoPilot (online) Andrew Kramer has fantastic, easy to understand video tutorials for After Effects.
- Premier Gal (online) Kelsey Brannon offers really great tips and tutorials about working with video.
