Questions About Orders
Can I Get An Estimate?
Sure! Call and talk to a friendly team member, or fill out an online form to request an estimate.
When Will My Order Be Done?
Usually 24–48 hours from the time of approval. The exception is offset press projects, which take more time. If you need a job done faster, just include your needs in your quote, and we’ll find a way to fit it into our schedule.
Do You Pick Up And Deliver?
Local delivery and pickup of your projects are free from our main service areas.
Questions About Files
What File Format Should I Use?
Our favorite is a PDF (Portable Document Format) with crop marks and a minimum ⅛” bleed. Try a “save as” or export in most design or office software and choose “PDF” as the format. Sometimes, we need the original file if you want us to edit the design.
What Resolution Should I Use For Photos And Graphics?
Use 300 dpi. If you get photos or graphics from the Internet, check the resolution, because often they’re at 72 or 96 dpi--far too low. They’ll look blocky and pixelated if we print them. By the way, don’t save photos in RGB mode, if possible; save them in CMYK. If you can’t save them in CMYK, tell us.
Will My Fonts Look Right?
What you can do is send your artwork fonts to us as outlined objects in the artwork file. If that doesn’t work in your software, you can package or send us the fonts. If you need help, please call us!
