Although we have a professional design staff to create anything you want, many of you will want to prepare your printing projects on your computer with your software. We have several suggestions to help you do this.
Try and be as specific as possible from the beginning. Tell us what software you are using, and what fonts we need to have to complete your project. Tell us when you must have your printing completed, but please do not ask us to work overtime unless it is necessary. False deadlines hurt both you and us.
If you are requesting an estimate, please provide us with all the job specifications in advance and keep in mind that we will provide 3 different quantities at no extra cost to you. Please do not ask for more quantities than you need, quotes take time to produce and you will speed the process by only asking for what you need.
Allow us to use our experience and expertise to help you as much as possible by telling us how you intend to use your finished piece and what post press operations will be needed. To get the best possible results for your printing job, for example; process color work will look much better on coated stock, and if you are going to address and mail your piece we offer these services and might save you valuable time and money if you tell ahead of time and allow us to do this for you.
When planning your project, try working backwards from the date you need it completed and allow proper time for design, alterations and proofing.
Check you proofs carefully for all spelling and numbers, do not assume that because a previous proof was correct the current one will be also. That copy may have been retyped completely due to corrections or changes.
RETURN PROOFS QUICKLY, we allow a day for proofing when we quote your job, if you take more than a day to return your proof you may delay getting your job done. Please try and limit the number of people who sign off on proofs.
Try and keep Author’s Alterations to a minimum. Author’s Alterations are changes you make after we have your file, they will result in increased cost to you, and possibly delay your project.
