Online Poster Printing Has Never Been Easier

“ Printers need to be cheap, fast, and reliable, but no single print shop can accomplish that consistently. One printer, Chad Tayler, is going to change everything. ”

(ePrintWire.Org) – Poster Printing On the Road
Dan McKean of the Miami Marketing group was ready to make his presentation to his customer in San Francisco, except for one thing: He had forgotten his materials.
The big posters were too slow and expensive to ship, so Dan set off to find a large format printer. A few internet searches and phone calls later, he was talking with a very helpful local company. They’d be happy to do some fast turnaround printing- for triple the price!
Faced with paying the outrageous fees or redrawing his whole presentation with markers on poster board, Dan paid. But that printing company never saw his business, or the business of any of his friends, again.
It’s Automated: Poster Printing Online
Expedited service is always expensive. “Price gouging is very common,” says Chad Taylor, founder of 24HourPoster.com. “And shipping a large poster is bulky and costly. That’s why I created a website that can automate some of the processes of printing, and forged the relationships that will take all the trouble out of travelling.”
It’s not a print shop. After 15 years in the printing industry, Chad has seen the limitations of what one store can do. “I created 24HourPoster.com to alleviate three things,” he says.
Number one: Time. “No print shop is consistent in what they do.” They all have busy times and slow times, different people to get the order from the customer to the machine. No matter how well-run or well-intentioned, no one store can do it all the same way each time. That’s why 24HourPoster.com isn’t a print shop. It’s a few.
Chad has used his years in the industry in Las Vegas to bring together four different print establishments with quality machinery, staff, and reputation under the 24 Hour banner. If one of them can’t do the job in 24 hours or less, another one can. Chad has relationships with all of them, seeking out businesses with a similar commitment to building trust and operating with integrity.
Number two: 24HourPoster.com will alleviate the problems caused by distance. Most online poster printing companies will ship their products, after producing them in their local shop. It’s expensive to ship big posters, and the costs get passed on to the customer. As a national company, 24HourPoster.com will have a partner in every major city. A woman travelling from Duluth to Los Angeles can order her PowerPoint posters online the day before she gets on a plane, and find them waiting at her hotel when she arrives, locally delivered by the shop that printed them. Already operating in Las Vegas, Chad is rolling out his system in Reno, Phoenix, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Miami, Chicago, and Seattle in 2010.
Number three: 24HourPoster.com will alleviate the problem of price. Print pricing is all over the board. Chad's inside knowledge of the industry and his ability to help print companies keep their machines turning out work have allowed 24hour poster to offer consistently low prices for their customers.
Consistent, Fast Turnaround Printing? It Can’t Work.
“People I talk to in the printing industry say it’s a pipe dream,” says Chad. “They don’t think that it’s possible to turn product in 24 hours.”
But Chad just might be the person to pull it off. He did it for years, in his print shop days. “It got to where I was getting 150 phone calls a day. I just couldn’t keep up. But people kept calling, because they knew I’d get it done.” It was in those hectic days that the dream of 24HourPosters.com was born.
In an average print shop, an order can go through a receptionist, a clerk, a designer, and a printer before it ever sees the printing machine itself. Sometimes, accidents happen. “The problem isn’t the machines,” Says Chad. “The machines are perfect. The problem is the pipeline. Now, the website is the pipeline. It’s the receptionist, the clerk, the designer, and the printer all in one.”
If the customers he’s had since starting up are any indication, he’s on the road to success. Some samples: “On time every time! Thank you!” “When you say fast, you mean it! Thank you for the customer service and perfect product.” “Faster and cheaper than anywhere I’ve ordered from before.”

Chad is certainly excited about it. A huge grin breaks out as he says: “Printing used to be complex. 24HourPoster is gonna simplify it.”
