Printing Questions:
Do you print offset or digital?
We are proud to use both multimillion dollar digital as well as offset presses in our production facilities – Our digital presses are not digital photocopiers, but state of the art digital production presses.
The quality of both our offset and digital printing is comparable to the glossy magazines found on newsstands. Many instant printers claim to be digital printers by using colour copiers; this is not the case with us.
What is cracking?
Very rarely with magazines or folded jobs there can be a small amount of cracking of the paper along the fold/spine – in these instances, paper being made of fiber can naturally crack the printed ink. Although we can never 100% guarantee that cracking will not occur, due to our production processes and the state of the art folding and scoring equipment we use, cracking is very very rarely an issue. If cracking is an issue for you, we recommend avoiding heavy ink coverage in your design where folding is to occur.
Do you guarantee colour matching?
To achieve our low pricing, our products are bulk printed and as such, we are unable to offer exact colour matching. Colours may vary from day to day, press to press and during a run. Please consider this when placing an order with us if you are not able to accept some colour variation.
Do you have a specific job options file?
Yes we do, please click here to navigate to our templates page to download our job options file
What paper types/brands do you use?
We use a range of different paper types and paper suppliers. These can change due to price, availability etc. From time to time certain paper or card stocks may be unavailable. We reserve the right to substitute any paper or card with an equivalent type of gsm paper without notice.
