Q: How can I ensure my details and design are correct before going to print?
A: We will always send you a proof before we run the print job. We will give you time to check the proof to make sure everything is correct and exactly the way you want it. We will wait for your sign off of approval before we print.

All images converted to CMYK with a minimum 300dpi resolution.
All fonts to be embedded or fonts converted to outlines.

A: Yes, you can. On our standard digital print items you have a choice of matt, silk or uncoated stock.

We want to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for and we want to ensure a perfect final result.
Q: Are there any hidden costs?
A: We will always send you a formal quotation outlining all costs so there are no surprises after you approve the order. The prices on our website are a guideline only as there are many stock and print options to choose from. We encourage you to contact us for a formal quote.
Q: What do I do if I want to repeat a previous order?
A: For every print job we will assign a job number, which will be printed on your final invoice. If you would like a repeat order, contact us and quote the job number on your invoice. We keep all specifications and details on file including stock selection and quantities so we will know exactly what you had printed last time.
Q: What happens to my artwork after my job is printed?
A: We keep all artwork on file in digital file format for repeat orders and for archive purposes. We take all reasonable precautions to keep the artwork safe.
