You need to start with the right paper, the kind with red and blue fibers in it.

TT.......ever seen coupon clipper? (couponclipper.com)

It is an 8.5 x 11 glossy book with coupons/ads in it......

Trying to figure what something like that costs to print (paper, print, etc)

Also am looking at newsprint or any other ways to print.....

is that clear?

As far as the coupon magazine, just call any local printer--they can give you a pretty good idea if you know the paper type, number of pages and # of copies that you want. It will save you a TON if you have everything properly laid out, formatted, and ready to print--if you're not that far along, that's where you'll get hurt.

Costco. No kidding.

Prices for printing X-Mas cards, wedding invitations, etc. are very good.

Costco is all about volume and a large part of their business is commercial. I would show them what you have in mind and get a price.

No Sherman it was glossy paper. It was brochures we put out for our property. So it had fronty and back of 2 pages like a card. They are nice and can do about anything you want. Costco is good as well for very large amounts:103631605

You wanting this thing bound? How many pages? How many copies? How many colours?

Most print jobs are in four-colour (CMYK) or two colour (black plus one colour.) You will almost always be better off going to a professional print house, but you should shop around.

If you can answer for me the above questions, I can give you a ballpark of what I would expect to pay ... I send stuff to printers all the time.
