We met with the printers at 1:45 pm today. They began by explaining that they had not yet completed the large orders that had delayed us before. They will finish those jobs later this week, probably on Thursday. By way of an apology, they will be giving us an additional discount. They will also be able to print the charts separately and will not insist on the whole order being done together, as their bid originally stated. They were emphatic<\/strong> that they were not dropping us in favor of the larger clients.<\/p>\n

I was not entirely surprised since I had called their processing shop on Friday with a question about the electronic files. I was transferred to the print shop where they were in overtime. We accepted their new offer but also be began to call other printers in the area in case there is some further delay. Of the four shops contacted only two have gotten back to us with bids. Both of these are much more expensive than the
\noriginal bid made by our printers. The current discounts being offered bring the original bid down significantly.<\/p>\n

We will continue to look at alternative printing bids. In the mean time, we will have the proofs done and approved. We have been encouraged to check as often as we feel we need to with the shop management on the progress of the work underway and the status of our own order. I will post updates as we get them. We are not happy with any delay but we will do everything possible to speed this along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
