FAQs
How do I send a Ready to Print File?
If you have a design ready to print, you can email a file to us up to 25 MB in size or bring it on a USB Flash Drive or CD. We can accept a PDF, TIFF or JPG.
Do I need to include a “Bleed” in my design?
Print jobs can have at least one-eighth of an inch white border around the edge and bleed is not needed. But if any print job is not white on all four sides, you MUST include bleeds in your files. This includes any print jobs such as business cards, postcards, posters, letterhead, etc. “Bleed” is a printing term used to indicate the area with a background image that we will trim off after the file is printed and cut down to the finished size. Since the bleed area will be trimmed off, there should be no text or other important information in that area. Print jobs that make use of bleed should extend any images one-eighth of an inch (.125”) over the final paper trim edge. This will make the document size a total of one-quarter of an inch (.25”) bigger than the finished piece.
What is offset printing?
Our printing presses use a technique in which the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanket then to the printing surface. Offset printing used by virtually all large commercial printers. Compared to other printing methods, offset printing is best suited for cost-effectively producing large volumes of high-quality prints in an economically sound manner. It's one of the most common ways of creating printed material and is used in many ways including newspapers, magazines, brochures, stationery, and books. Offset printing has many advantages compared to other printing methods including consistent high image quality. Offset printing produces sharp and clean images and types more easily than letterpress printing because the rubber blanket conforms to the texture of the printing surface. We use sheet-fed offset presses which lets us feed individual sheets of paper through the press, offering us a large number of sheet and format sizes that can be run through the same press. Our sheet-fed presses use mechanical registration to relate each sheet to one another to ensure that they are reproduced with the same imagery in the same position on every sheet running through the press
