But it can be complicated and time-consuming\u2014and no matter how diligent you are, most of the available methods don\u2019t guarantee that you\u2019re getting the best deal on price, quality, and service.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Qualifying methods vary with the size of the organization:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>(1)  Larger organizations and the government may have extensive screening systems, resulting in an approved supplier list. Their processes may include vendor certification, review of vendor quality manuals, detailed questionnaires, and quality audits.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>(2)  Organizations such as the Printing Industry Exchange maintain a directory of print suppliers, who pay a fee to be listed. Print buyers fill out a quote form (free) and the exchange matches them with printers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>(3)  Some organizations may outsource printer qualification to a broker; using their approved supplier lists, or set their own criteria. Key considerations may include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/p>\r\n<li> Location<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n<li> Reputation<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n<li> Certifications<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n<li> Quality<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n<li> Consistency<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n<li> Transparency<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n<li> Competitive price<\/li>\r\n<p><\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>In addition, print buyers at some organizations may place a premium on creating and maintaining a predictable, trusting relationship with a few go-to vendors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Unfortunately, these typical printer qualification methods are a risky crapshoot because they are:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/p>\r\n<li><strong>Subjective:<\/strong> Wanting to maintain good relationships can get in the way of business needs, which should come first<\/li>\r\n<p><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/p>\r\n<li><strong> Limited:<\/strong> The best-qualified printer for a specific job may not be on your list. Your \u201cfavorite printer may not have the capability you need in a specific instance.<\/li>\r\n<p><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/p>\r\n<li> <strong>Outdated:<\/strong> Vendors\u2019 financial conditions, capabilities, processes, and priorities change \u2013 your vendor list ca quickly become outdated.<\/li>\r\n<p><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/p>\r\n<li><strong> Ineffective: <\/strong>Having a go-to printer is convenient, it not necessarily good for your bottom line \u2013 which is why no printer can guarantee you the best price on every job<\/li>\r\n<p><\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>In these challenging economic times, businesses can\u2019t afford to assume they\u2019re getting a good deal from long-time vendors, or rationalize paying a premium for services that could generate cost savings. The alternative to this crapshoot is using an objective methodology that:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/p>\r\n<li><strong>Qualifies a wide range of printers who meet your specific needs<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<p><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/p>\r\n<li><strong> Creates clear job specifications; and<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<p><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/p>\r\n<li><strong> Applies an efficient, impartial pricing process<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<p><\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>In this tough economy, qualifying printers is more important than ever with the urgent need to spend wisely.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row
