There is no project too big or too small. However, keep in mind that any production process requires certain preliminary set up. For this reason, doing larger quantities is always more cost-effective. It’s especially true for any specialty printing.

To ensure the highest quality of the final product, we only print from digital sources.
- Any physical copy of a photo or artwork must be digitalized first in order to be reproduced.
- Please feel free to call or stop by to discuss whether we are the right fit for digitalizing your masterpiece.
- We do not work with film negatives.
- For most orders, 300 dpi PDFs in CMYK system, with bleeds, crop marks, and outlined fonts are the best.
- Any Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign files need to be packaged.
- We do not recommend printing from TIF, JPG, or PNG files.
- Resolution for most large-format prints can be as low as 100 dpi without sacrificing the quality.
- To ensure that your project lives up to your expectations, we make a hard copy proof. In most cases, a flat proof is available the next business day after we start working on your order.
- For rush projects or when seeing hard copy proof is not an option, we send you a picture of a printed sample. However, keep in mind that what you see on the screen may not be fully color-accurate and may miss certain technical nuances that can only be seen in person.
- For any specialty printing, such as letterpress, foil stamping, engraving, etc., making plates and setting up a press are necessary in order to make a sample.Therefore, a hard-copy proof using any of these techniques is rarely done. We can still produce a digitally printed proof on the final paper, which enables you to sample the look and feel of the completed product.
- For repeating orders, we send you a digital proof (PDF) to confirm we have the right file to print.
- For your convenience, any questions can be answered in person. In fact, we encourage you to drop by, especially for more elaborate projects. Just walk in during our working hours. No appointment necessary!
- For design sessions, we ask you to schedule an appointment in advance. Please email us to get in touch with our talented designers.
- For your convenience, we accept most credit and debit cards.
- For our corporate clients, we provide various payment solutions.
- You can also always stop by to make a deposit for your upcoming project or to pay for the completed order in person.
We always strive for excellence and client satisfaction. If you are unhappy with the final product for any reason, please contact us. We appreciate your feedback and are pleased to learn of ways we can make your printing experience even better.
