Frequently Asked Questions
What paper stock do you print on?
Our Business Cards, Postcards, Rackcards, Press Kit, Bookmarks, Tent Cards and Collector Cards are printed on 14-point glossy card stock with UV coating (lamination) on the color side(s). We also offer 14- point Premium Uncoated paper stock for our business cards and our 4 x 6 and 5.5 x 8.5 postcards. All other products are printed on 100 lb gloss book stock, with overall aqueous coating on both sides.
What kind of inks do you use?
All of our products are printed with four-color inks: (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black). Color density less than 15% may not print.
Can I write or print on UV coating?
No.
What kinds of varnish (coating) do you use?
Depending on what product you are ordering, it will either have aqueous coating or UV coating.
When preparing press-ready digital files, what size should I build my file to?
Please build your press-ready digital files to bleed size by adding 0 .1" dimension for any product that is printed on 14- point cardstock (for example: business cards and postcards) and 0.125" for all other products (for example: brochures and flyers).
How do I prepare files for trim?
Simply add the appropriate bleed to each dimension of your digital layout. Please add all the crop marks, and make sure all critical elements (text, images, logos, etc.) are at least 0.125" inside the side of the Safe Zone. Anything left close to the side may be cut off during trimming. Allow 1/16" cutting space around the Trimming Zone.
