Printer, Booklover, Author: Ben’s Guide – An interactive site for kids to learn about Ben Franklin and the U.S. Government

Ben Franklin characterThe inspiration for the Ben character comes from Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), who, like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, was one of the most important individuals in early colonial and United States history. As a young boy, Ben worked as an apprentice in a print shop and later went on to draft some of the Nation’s most significant documents.

Although he lived before the Government Printing Office’s (GPO) founding, his legacy of publishing information lives on in what we do today.

Go on a learning adventure with Ben’s Guide!

PRESS RELEASE – Total Printing Systems introduces Instant Quote, a Real-Time Pricing Tool, to New Website

(Newton, Illinois) Total Printing Systems has developed an internet based pricing tool that will generate a quote in an instant. Total Printing Systems is the first book manufacturer to offer real-time quotes. “In 1997 we launched an internally developed pricing tool. We used this device initially as an exclusive tool for a quick printing franchise, several years later we opened the tool up to the general public. This device, which we have dubbed Instant Quote, has been revamped and released in July of 2015 on our new website at www.tps1.com,” commented Rich Lindemann, President of Total Printing Systems.

“The ability to gauge pricing instantly will give our clients the opportunity to move their project forward as quickly as possible. They no longer have to wait for a representative to respond just to get basic pricing. These days schedules are tighter than ever; Instant Quote will offer pricing at the click of a button.” states Rick Lindemann, Vice President of Total Printing Systems and the developer of Instant Quote.

Instant Quote is a helpful tool for experienced print buyers as well as for those new to printing and publishing. For experts, the tool offers a quick assessment of pricing based on different quantities, stocks, or other variables. They’ll have the information they need to make any adjustments to their project to stay on budget. For the novice, we offer explanations of each choice. For example, when picking a stock, we have provided guidelines as to which paper would work best for their particular need. Simply tap the question mark next to each drop down menu for additional information to make an informed decision. Register at www.tps1.com to give Instant Quote a try.

Total Printing Systems, a short-run digital book manufacturer, was founded in 1973 by Rich and Wendy Lindemann. TPS offers single to full color on covers and interiors, an in-house bindery, Print-On-Demand, fulfillment, inventory management, and warehousing services. The use of cutting-edge technology and decades of experience has brought Total Printing Systems to the forefront of the book manufacturing industry.
