Short runs are a printer's nightmare and they charge accordingly.
If you want to go the printed route, I will add a +X for the local option. Let your fingers do the walking.
I've been in the printing industry for over 40 years now, and can honestly say that if one has the proper (digital) equipment, "short runs have never been easier". We do a lot of runs of 50, 100, etc. and love em'.
We try to get as much short run work as possible as they are in/out of the shop quickly and we can schedule our larger runs to accomodate those last minute "quickie" jobs.
Of course we've got a machine that is NOT CHEAP, but is very reliable and the quality is about as good as it gets.
