Wish you could speed up the time it takes us to print your job, without having to incur rush charges? It's possible. The secret is to have your files set up accurately before they are sent to us.

On average, every job we print requires 6 to 10 emails with the client to repair provided file production (does the art have bleeds and crop marks?) get missing linked images, repair color issues, and find missing fonts. Each request can slow down a job from a few hours to a few days! Speed the process from upload to delivery with accurately built art files.

Help your projects make a Beeline to the delivery van!

Keep your job out of the dreaded Art Correction loop—

Your project will zip through when your art is prepared correctly,

and packaged completely before sending it to us.

Make sure your art files include the following:

• Native files if possible
• Bleeds if applicable
• Colors, built in the appropriate color space
• All linked assets including photos, graphics, logos, and fonts
• Rasterized images at full resolution. (Not sure what resolution you need? Just ask us!)
• Die guides for cutting if needed
• Separate files or layers for spot lamination or textural printing

Make sure your print instructions include the following:

• A project description
• Deadline if there is one
• Finished piece dimensions and any scaling information
• Quantity
• The substrate you want (paper weight, etc)
• Printing techniques you want
• Instructions for finishing (trimming, folding, hemming, grommets, lamination, etc)
• Delivery instructions

Remember that our in-house art department service is always here to help you prepare your artwork professionally and accurately.
