• This is not an exhaustive list. If these shops don't suit you, post a note on the PyCon mailing list and I will get others added. I looked for 5 Print Shops that were close to the Marriot Quorum, where PyCon 2006 is being held.

Overall notes

• All the printers can create collated sets of handouts on normal american sized papers. That means 8.5 x 11, 8.5 x 14 and 11 x 17. I'll comment about other sizes available. All printers listed can take paper copies to be duplicated, but I expect people will want to submit electronic copies to be duplicated. Every printer expresses a strong preference for PDF files as the format to receive. I'll comment about other formats that are accepted. I asked them all about delivery times for what I thought was a normal job. The normal job is a printout to be used for tutorials and would be 50 copies of 40 to 100 pages each. Bigger jobs may take longer, so ask if time is important.
