The printer I've used most over the years is Quality Instant Printing 
in Durham (544-1777). Talk with Lynn (masc.), the owner. Good prices, 
great quality, not so "instant". $29 for 1000 business cards (those 
they send out).

If you need color, try Eyebeam in Raleigh - they use a "Heidelberg" 
digital press - while it's not magazine quality, it's dang close. 
Costs a fraction of wet-press color.

Joseph C Woodard in Raleigh has done good work at good prices for one 
of my major non-profit clients. Good b&w and color.

If you need film work, Azalea Graphics in Durham does great work and 
very helpful.

If you need speed and simple, straightforward printing, and can 
afford the "rack rates" then the Kinko's on Hwy 55 is very good. The 
staff are really helpful and friendly (they're all on a 1st name 
basis with my 1-year-old daughter). (I'm not generally a Kinko's fan, 
but I found these guys much better than the one on 9th St in Durham. 
The one in Cary is also OK.)

Every time I do a print job, I end up swearing I'll never do another 
- and remembering that's what I swore the *last* time ... they're a 
total pain compared to the web!

My .02.

Cheers,

Margaret
