When you need help getting a magazine, journal or pamphlet published, but you are unsure where to start, Bestype magazine printing services can guide you through every step of the process: layout, design, printing, and delivery.

We print it all – whether your idea or project leads to a bound journal, a traditional magazine or newspaper, or a modern take on the ‘zine, Bestype Printing NYC technicians have the knowledge and experience to get your project in readers’ hands.
Before you begin designing your next magazine printing project, we invite you to a simple sensory exercise. Step away from your screen for a moment and find a magazine you like. Observe how the weight of the magazine feels relative to its size and shape.
Find a comfortable chair or cushy sofa. Sit down with the magazine in your favorite chair for a minute and relax. Feel the cover and the interior pages. Are they glossy or matte? Open its cover, find the publisher’s masthead and the table of contents. Start flipping through the pages and observe how its contents flow across its pages and how ads interrupt the presentation. Watch for the editor’s layout patterns — ads, written content, illustrations and photography, more ads. You see columns, single and double, even triple.
Pluck or tear an insert from your magazine’s spine. Does a perforation attach it, or is it a loose card? If it’s a perfume tester, hold it up to your nose and sniff. Your insert might be another ad: a coupon, a try-me sample, or a direct-response postcard.
Continue to flip through the pages. Think about how the photography and page layout of each photograph, illustration, and verbal idea invite you to spend more time with the document you are holding in your hands.
Now, relax. Gather your inspirations and ideas and realize that you can create your magazine with a bit of help from a printer who understands how magazine publishers work their magic. Bestype magazine printing company wants to share these secrets with you.

Bestype Magazine Company specializes in two popular methods of perfectly printing your publication.
New York’s publishing industry has traditionally relied on cost-effective, deadline-friendly offset lithographic printing, or “offset.” This method has been popular throughout the modern era of periodical printing from the twentieth century onward. In offset printing, technicians transfer page layouts containing text and graphics onto offset lithographic printing plates. To print each page, printers run the plates through water and ink processes. Ink sticks to the plate areas that contain your content, and the water repels ink from areas intended to be “white space” or unprinted blank regions. Offset printing is exact and results in rich, tone-accurate images and sharp text, especially noticeable on glossy paper. While results are bound to be gorgeous, plates are permanent. When editors detect errors, new plates are necessary. When changes and corrections to typographical errors and content edits affect the entire layout of an article or section, printers create a new set of plates to update the whole document’s structure.
Today publishers are increasingly turning to digital printing to produce their literature with a quick PDF document export from a favorite desktop publishing application that handles all the layout and design. Digital printing is fast and nearly fool-proof: color matching of tones, lights, and darks, becomes a computerized, pre-programmed process.
What the designer creates, the print shop produces, and the audience experiences — the digital printing experts at Bestype calibrate digital printers to ensure your original vision prints accurately. Printing digitally also delivers high-quality images on all kinds of paper, including the glossy paper many magazine publishers prefer.
