This One’s For You
You’re holding the twenty-second
annual Buyers’ Guide, the award-winning directory that
connects buyers with sources of products and services in the
print industry. We put it together, but all the information
about companies in the industry is sent to us by vendors.
Additionally, it’s the magazine you
use the most—more than 80 percent of our readers keep
this directory handy until the next one is published.
It’s the only issue we receive requests for all year, and
we’re told well-thumbed copies are passed from desk to
desk at distributorships, manufacturers and suppliers
nationwide. Buyers’ Guides are even in short supply at
Print Solutions HQ, where we use them to answer reader
questions and source articles.
You told us about web-to-print
services—check out companies offering them on page 384.
You told us about variable data printing—check out
companies offering it on page 381. You wanted to meet DMIA
members? Page through the Company Directory, beginning on page
18, to find more than 70 of our manufacturers and suppliers.
Let this directory help you find vendors
and win business. If don’t see what or who you’re
looking for in this book, call Information Central,
DMIA’s Source Hotline, at (800) 336-4641. Its seasoned
staff specializes in finding (almost) anything in the print
industry, fast. If you need additional copies of the
Buyers’ Guide, visit https://www.printsolutionsmag.com/subscribe_formpay.html. The cost
is $49 per issue.

How the Buyers’ Guide is Generated
Print Solutions editors maintain a database
of information provided by manufacturers and suppliers. In
August, we mailed proofs to companies included in the 2006
Buyers’ Guide, giving those firms an opportunity to
approve or change their listings. Additionally, we extended an
invitation for new DMIA members and non-member companies to
complete the official form and be included this year. We update
product categories on the listing form annually, based on
manufacturer and supplier suggestions. The deadline to return
proofs and listing forms was August 31.
DMIA members and companies that placed
display ads in this issue received free listings; non-members
who didn’t advertise paid $295. If your firm manufactures
or supplies products sold in the printing and document
management industry, and you aren’t listed in this issue,
please send an email to buyersguide@printsolutionsmag.com or call Print Solutions at (800) 336-4641.
