Preliminaries
Pricing is based on several factors including the type of product, quantity ordered, print size, number of ink colors, turnaround time, and any finishing options (lamination, folding, cutting, etc.). We offer volume discounts — the more you order, the lower the per-unit cost. For a custom quote, use our online pricing calculator or contact us directly.
Yes, you can obtain a high-resolution photograph or illustration from several stock websites including pixabay.com, shutterstock.com and unsplash.com. You may also be able to obtain images from Google and other search engines. Images from standard websites are generally low-resolution and won't print correctly.
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), PayPal, ACH bank transfers, and checks for approved business accounts. Payment is due at the time of order placement unless you have an established net-terms account with us.

File Preperation
All images intended for print should be a minimum of 300 DPI (dots per inch) at the final print size. Images that look sharp on screen at 72–96 DPI will appear blurry or pixelated in print. If you're unsure about your image resolution, our prepress team can review your files before printing.
Bleed refers to extending artwork and background colors 0.125" (1/8") beyond the edge of your document. During the cutting process, slight shifts can occur. Bleed ensures there are no white edges or borders on the finished piece. Any design element that touches the edge of the page should extend into the bleed area.
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) is the color mode used for print. RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is used for screens and digital displays. Submitting files in RGB can cause color shifts when converted to CMYK for printing. We strongly recommend setting your file to CMYK before submitting to ensure the most accurate color reproduction.
Yes! We perform a standard preflight check on all submitted files before printing. If we detect any issues — such as low resolution, missing fonts, incorrect color mode, or insufficient bleed — we will contact you before proceeding. For complex projects, we also offer a detailed file review service.
Turnaround and Shipping
Standard turnaround times vary by product: business cards typically take 2–3 business days, flyers and brochures 3–5 business days, and large-format prints 2–4 business days. Rush options are available for most products. Turnaround time begins after file approval and payment confirmation, not at the time of order placement.
Yes, local pickup is available at our facility. Once your order is complete, you'll receive a notification that it's ready. Pickup hours are Monday–Friday, 8 AM–5 PM. We're conveniently located and can typically have your order ready sooner when you choose pickup over shipping.
We take great care in packaging all orders to prevent damage during transit. If your order arrives damaged, please contact us within 5 business days of receipt with photos of the damage and your order number. We will work with you to reprint or refund your order promptly.
Proofing and Quality
Yes, we offer both digital PDF proofs and physical hard-copy proofs. A digital proof is included free of charge with every order and must be approved before we proceed to print. Physical proofs are available for an additional fee and are recommended for large or color-critical print runs. Approving a proof confirms you accept the design and any errors present at that stage.
We use industry-standard CMYK printing processes and calibrated equipment to achieve consistent, high-quality color. However, printed colors may vary slightly from what you see on your monitor due to screen calibration differences. If color accuracy is critical, we recommend ordering a physical proof or requesting a press check. Colors must be submitted in CMYK for best accuracy.
