Avalon offers color copies at 23 cents per color copy, the lowest price in the New England
printing market
Hollis, N.H. – Avalon Color, a company known for its outstanding quality in the New England printing market, is now offering color copies for 23¢ per color copy.
A price survey of short run printers in New Hampshire revealed that Avalon’s price for color copies is the lowest in the state. And, Avalon is printing its color copies on a new Xerox 700 digital color press, which has been recognized around the world as being the best performing digital color press for under $400,000. Most color copies are printed on cheap 20 lb. or 24 lb. paper. Avalon prints our color copies on a heavier, high-grade 32 lb. paper, says Bob Hydrisko, sales manager at Avalon. Added Hydrisko,in terms of our color copies, we’re basically selling a Mercedes for the price of a Kia.” Hydrisko was the national marketing director of Life 101, a high school publication that he grew from 50,000 issues per year to over 2,200,000 issues per year, making it the largest k-12 educational publication in the U.S. in 2004.
Short run printing for on demand printing projects is strong in New England printing market

Hollis, N.H. -- Staples color copies fans are increasingly moving to specialty on demand printing companies like Avalon Color, the New Hampshire digital color printing company. The reason that's driving this change is a combination of better quality prints at a much lower cost.
Avalon uses the Xerox 700 digital color press, which features state-of-the-art oilless toner technology, a new and green technology that prints at a higher quality than that which prints Staples color copies. In addition, Avalon prints its color copies on high quality 32 lb. paper. The price? 23¢ per color copy, which is the lowest price for color copies in New Hampshire. "Highest quality for the lowest price has always been an unbeatable combination," says Bob Hydrisko, sales manager at Avalon Color, which also produces fine art prints and Kodak prints for New England photographers and artists in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine.
New England printing market is becoming an on demand printing market
Offset printing, which is typically very expensive and requires the customer to print and store large inventories of printed material, which ties up valuable capital in this cash-strapped economy, is becoming increasingly threatened. One recent casualty of this market reality is Sims Press, of picturesque Peterborough, N.H.Peterborough, N.H., a well-regarded printing company that built a solid reputation over the course of several decades, but was forced to close its doors on August 30, 2010.
The new printing model in New Hampshire
One company, Avalon Color in close-by Hollis, NH, another quaint, picturesque town near the Massachusetts border, is rapidly growing as a result of a surge in market demand for short run printing. Short run printing, also known as digital printing and on demand printing, is a relatively new type of printing technology that can produce printed material that now rivals offset quality, but at a fraction of the price. How? Unlike offset printing, the customer can print as much or as little as they'd like, depending on what they need printed and when they'd like it.
Says Bob Hydrisko, Avalon's Sales Manager, "We're growing at an impressive rate because digital printing is much more in synch with the economic realities facing today's small and mid-size businesses.
