Can you print smaller quantities?
To sell at the best possible prices we print in bulk, meaning we have decided on certain quantities and types of printing products. 500 is the smallest quantity we will print.

The process for minimizing any variance begins with adjusting your monitor for optimal colour and clarity according to the manufacturer's recommendations as outlined within its product manual or website. Doing this will alleviate a number of potential issues.

Beyond that, for the greatest conformity in colour from screen to print, there are tools available that will ensure exact colour calibration. Perhaps you have already invested in such a tool. If so, let us know what you use and we'll work with you to achieve the best results. If you are considering investing in a colour calibration tool, talk to us first and we'll be happy to offer our advice.

What is a proof and why is it needed?
A proof is a one-off copy of your printed document used for visual inspection to ensure that the layout and colours of your document are exactly how they are intended to be. A proof is made prior to sending the document to the press for final printing.

Typically, we will produce a proof that will be sent to you online in PDF format.

Your approval on the final proof is the best assurance you have that every aspect of our work and your own is correct, and that everything reads and appears the way you intended. Mistakes can and sometimes do happen. It benefits everyone if errors are caught in the proofing process rather than after the job is completed and delivered.

What are the different grades of paper and their respective basis weight?
Paper and board are graded by it's weight in grams of a single square metre sheet or by it's thickness in microns. Sizes available are A5 (148.5 x 210mm), A4 (210mm x 297mm), A3 (297mm x 420mm) and A2 (450mm x 640mm).

Different colours, finishes and textures are available as well as watermarked and unwatermarked brands.

What is the difference between coated and uncoated paper stock?
Uncoated stock paper is comparatively porous, and is typically used for such applications as letterhead stationery and basic black-and-white copying. Coated stock, by contrast, has a smooth glossy or satin finish that works well for reproducing sharp text and vivid colours.

What does "print ready" mean?
In the digital age of printing, it means that an image file submitted for printing is ready to be transferred to the printing plates without any alterations.

What is colour separation?
Colour separation is the process of separating a coloured graphic or photograph into its primary colour components in preparation for printed reproduction. For example, to print a full colour photo with an offset printing press, we would create four separate printing plates each accounting for one of the four basic printing inks (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) needed to reproduce the image.

As the paper is fed through the press, each single-colour plate puts onto the paper the exact amount of ink needed at exactly the right spot. As the different coloured wet inks are applied, they blend together to create the rich and infinite pallet of complex colours needed to reproduce the original image.

What is halftone printing?
Halftone printing converts a continuous tone (solid areas of black or colour) photograph or image into a pattern of different size dots that simulate continuous tone. When examining the page closely, you will see a series of dots spaced slightly apart. At a normal viewing distance, however, the spacing between dots becomes essentially invisible to the eye and what you see is a continuous tone.

What are Pantone colours?
Pantone colours refer to the Pantone Matching System (PMS), a colour matching system used by the printing industry whereby printing colours are identified by a unique name or number (as opposed to just a visual reference). This helps make sure that colours turn out the same from system to system, and print run to print run.

Is white considered a printing colour?
No. White is not generally considered a printing colour as typically the paper itself will be white. If a coloured paper (something other than white) is chosen, then white becomes a printing colour if any text or graphics require it.

What are the types of bindings I can use for multi-page projects?
Some of the common methods of binding books and other multi-page documents include:
Perfect binding: Gluing the outside edges of the pages together to create a flat edge.
Saddle-stitch binding: Using staples along the folds of the pages to bind them together.
Spiral binding: Wires in a spiral form threaded through punched holes along the binding edge of the papers. Allows the document to lay open flatly.
Plastic comb binding: Similar to spiral binding but using a tubular plastic piece with teeth that fit through rectangular holes punched into the binding edge.
Two, Three, and 4-ring binding: Holes are punched into the pages and fitted into a binder. This service is also available using multiple rings in different quantities; as necessary.
Three-ring binding: Holes are punched into the pages and fitted into a binder.
Case binding: Sewing the pages together and then attaching them to a hard cover.
