Professional, Focused Skill Sets:
Print Consulting
Janie Downy
At Media Solutions, my goal is to help you find the best, most financially advantageous partnerships within the publishing industry. My expertise comes from over twenty-five years experience in publishing for the catalog and magazine industry. I have established long-term relationships with most of the major suppliers in the publishing industry. I use my experience to garner aggressive pricing, and to set up the basis for excellent, long-term publishing relationships between you and your key suppliers.
Finding the right suppliers
There is so much more to getting a publication produced efficiently than just getting an aggressive price from a printer or paper supplier. My focus is on the bottom line, without sacrificing print quality along the way. I have spent numerous hours working at most of the major print facilities in the US. I know from the inside how most plant facilities work, which helps me help you find the publishing suppliers that match best your needs.
In addition, as the Executive Director, and long-time board member of NEMOA and the Gravure Catalog and Insert Council (GCIC), I have publisher contacts throughout the industry. If I don’t have hands-on experience at a specific printing facility, I can usually find someone else who does, and can provide something deeper than a casual printer reference.
