How quickly can you have my order completed?
Every print job is different, and the specifications and quantity needed will both impact the turn around time for a project. We understand at times jobs need to be completed very quickly so we will work with you to meet your deadlines, but planning ahead can help ensure a smoother project overall. Please feel free to contact us directly with any questions related to your specific printing or mailing project.
How late are you open?
Our main hours of operation are 7:30 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday.
What format should I use for submitting a file to print?
Typically a PDF, using the "High Quality Print" setting for output is the best option. You can also send your files native in the format native to the application you created them in, e.g. Adobe InDesign.
See our Printing How Tos page for a guide on converting a Power Point file (or other Microsoft files) to a print ready PDF.
