Do you have a minimum order quantity?
No. We can produce anything from a single copy to tens of thousands of printed pieces, depending on your project.
How quickly can my order be completed?
Turnaround depends on the size and complexity of your project. Many digital printing jobs can be completed within 48–72 hours, while larger and specialty projects may require additional production time.

Artwork & Design
What file types do you accept?
We recommend print-ready PDFs. We also accept EPS, TIFF, JPEG, and high-resolution PNG files.
What is a print-ready file?
A print-ready file includes:
- Correct document size
- 0.125″ bleed
- Crop marks
- CMYK color mode
- High-resolution images (300 DPI)
- Embedded or outlined fonts
Can your designers create artwork for me?
Absolutely. Our graphic design team can create everything from business cards and brochures to logos, banners, signs, catalogs, and marketing materials.
Can you fix my artwork before printing?
Yes. We can adjust colors, add bleed, correct resolution issues, update text, or make other modifications before production.
Why do colors look different on screen than in print?
Computer monitors display colors using RGB light, while commercial printing uses CMYK inks. This difference means colors may vary slightly between the screen and the printed piece.
What resolution should my images be?
300 DPI at final print size is recommended for professional-quality printing.
What is vector artwork?
Vector graphics are created using mathematical paths rather than pixels, allowing them to scale infinitely without losing quality. Logos should always be provided as vector artwork whenever possible.
Paper & Materials
What paper should I choose?
The best paper depends on your project. Gloss stock offers vibrant colors, matte provides a softer finish, uncoated paper is easy to write on, and heavier stocks create a premium feel.
What’s the difference between gloss and matte paper?
Gloss paper produces brighter colors and sharper images, while matte paper reduces glare and offers a more sophisticated appearance.
Can you help me select paper?
Yes. We can recommend the ideal paper stock based on your budget, branding, and intended use.
Do you offer recycled paper?
Yes. We offer environmentally responsible paper options for many products.
