Our average turn around time is five (5) working days from the time you approve your order. Our print runs are based on a first come, first served basis. This means that once your card is approved it will be on the next print run. We gang run all full color business cards, 25 at a time.

Bleed is the area outside the trim area of a document in which graphical elements are printed. This area is then trimmed off, resulting in color going all the way to edge of the piece. If you didn't bleed elements and instead placed them up to the boundaries of the trim area, irregularities encountered during cutting might produce a piece where a thin line of unprinted stock shows along one of more edges. And that could ruin the overall effectiveness of the card's design. Standard bleed is 1/8 inch.

Simply put, linescreen is how tightly the individual printing dots that make up a printed piece are placed on the paper. A fine linescreen like we use minimizes the appearance of the dots, resulting in a smoother image.

Full color printing is generally done with only four colors; cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. CMYK is just another way to say process, or full color, printing. All elements to be printed must be separated into the four color channels. Scanned color images are RGB. At some point , they must be separated; either automatically on the scanner or manually in an image editing program.

We can print anything you need. Of course, there will be an extra charge for five or six-color work. Contact us for more information.
