A list is the best and most organized method to tell your printers what you need. Enumerate everything including your ideas on how to personalize the prints so you can easily relay this to the printer.

2) How much print do you really need to be printed?
Think about the people who are to use your prints, are they a huge population? If yes you may want to cover only a partial few. Make a rough estimate on the volume so you can have the printers estimate the costs.

3) Will you be using a new print set in a month or so?
A print that will be changed in a few days or so may require a thinner or a low grade paper, so do not spend to much on prints that are to be thrown away any day and replaced.

... printing needs its time to buckle down and start learning more about it by asking your printer about it. A few of the questions you could ask are written below but you can also add a few more to get answers for your particular need.

4) Are you limited to a particular printing method?
