Simple jobs are often completed in less than an hour. Some jobs, however, may take several days to complete depending on their complexity and size.

Think of it as a sneak-peek of the final product. In printing terms, a proof is a one-off copy of your document after all modifications and printing setup processes have been completed.

It is your last and best opportunity to make sure that the print job comes out just the way you want.

By carefully inspecting the proof, you can help us assure an accurate, flawless delivery of your print job on the first run. Once you look over the proof and give us your approval, we send that exact file to print, so this step is crucial in guaranteeing your satisfaction with the order.

A very common question!

Resolution should be set to 300 dpi.

Pictures and graphics pulled from the internet are often low resolution, typically 72 dpi or 96 dpi. Avoid these graphics, as they will appear pixilated and blocky when printed.

Also note that you should save all photos in CMYK mode, not RGB mode when possible. Images saved in RGB mode may not print properly. If you are unable to save your image in CYMK mode, please let us know.

In short, printers and monitors produce colors in different ways.

Monitors use the RGB (red, green, blue) color model, which usually supports a wider spectrum of colors. Printers use the CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color model, which can reproduce most—but not all—of the colors in the RGB color model. Depending on the equipment used, CMYK generally matches 85–90% of the colors in the RGB model.

When a color is selected from the RGB model that is out of the range of the CMYK model, the application chooses what it thinks is the closest color that will match. Programs like Adobe Photoshop will allow you to choose which color will be replaced. Others may not.

The Pantone Matching System (PMS) is a color reproduction standard in which colors all across the spectrum are each identified by a unique, independent number. The use of PMS allows us to precisely match colors and maintain color consistency throughout the printing process.

Not typically. Because white is the default color of paper, it is simply recognized as the absence of any ink. However, when using colored paper, white ink may be used if any text or graphic requires it.
