About Our Print Product
Because our publication is image-rich and art-oriented, keeping the registration spot-on is of the utmost importance, so we shopped around until we found the right Arizona printers for the job. The result: our quality is higher than we've ever seen roll off of a 4-color offset web press, while remaining the least expensive color advertising around.
Take a look at a Tubac Villager tearsheet: examples, and notice the tightness of the registration, absence of tracking or heavy offset. The paper is a crisp 35 lb. highbrite, which keeps the soy ink from spreading out and blurring your images.
With the beautiful covers, interesting and thoughtful features, and useful event directory, the Villager lasts not only all month, but is also collected, shared, and mailed to loved ones, where it finds its way to living room tables for readers of today and tomorrow discover what your business is all about.
Subscriptions are available $25 per year 1 year, 10 - 12 issues.
Summer: Some years during the Summer months we print 2 - two-month issues.
Printing Monthly
