Printing Specific Questions

What's the difference between digital, offset, and
plus icon

Digital Printing: Best for short runs, fast turnaround, variable data printing, and cost-effective for smaller quantities. Directly prints from digital files.

Offset Printing: Ideal for large production runs, offers high-quality, vibrant prints, and a wider range of color options (including Pantone colors). Requires more setup time and cost.

Flexographic Printing (Flexo): High-speed printing for flexible materials, often used for labels and packaging. Offers durable inks and can be cost-effective for large runs.

What file formats do you accept for artwork?
plus icon

We generally prefer print-ready PDF files with fonts outlined and images embedded. We can also work with Adobe Illustrator (.ai) files and other high-resolution formats.


What is "bleed" and why is it important?
plus icon

Bleed is the portion of your design that extends beyond the trim edge of your printed piece. It's crucial to prevent white edges from showing after cutting, ensuring your design goes right to the edge. We typically recommend a 0.125-inch (1/8 inch) bleed.

What is CMYK vs. RGB?

CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black): This is the color model used for most professional printing.

RGB (Red, Green, Blue): This is the color model used for digital displays (monitors, TVs). Colors on your screen may appear different in print if not converted to CMYK properly.
