Frequently Asked Questions

The following are some of the Frequently Asked Questions we receive and our responses. We hope you find them helpful!

Q – Why is your price so much lower/so much higher than the other price I got?
A – There will always be differences from supplier to supplier.  The key thing in this industry is that one job can often be run several different ways, depending on your desired outcome.  Stock differences are also common, with there being as many different kinds of “white gloss” paper as there are printers. Extreme differences in the quotes you receive should raise a flag that the two companies are likely not quoting the same specs.  This is why a reputable printer will get as much information from you as possible before submitting a quote. (See Helpful Hints for the kind of information we need)

Q – What type of files do you accept? 
A – We support current versions of :
           
Adobe Illustrator
           
Adobe Pagemaker
           
Adobe Photoshop
           
Quark Xpress
           
Corel Draw

If your file is not in one of these formats, please enquire if we will be able to work with the file you have.

Q – Why do I need to approve a proof if I gave you my artwork on a disk / via email?
A – The easiest answer to this question is you don’t, as long as you have given us a color printout for us to reference.  If you are unable to do this we do a proof to catch any possible errors before we g o to print.  Computers are a fantastic tool but are certainly not perfect, and we would rather catch a problem prepress than once your job is complete.

One last note – if your job is full process colour, you will always need to see a full colour proof.  Your process job will always look different printed than it did on your screen or printed off your laser printer.  We want you to be happy with the outcome.

 

Q – How long will my job take?
A – It depends on what you’ve ordered.   A job can take anywhere from a day to a couple of weeks to complete.  The key is to let us know your deadline up front so we can let you know if we can meet it.  We do not overpromise…if we cannot meet your deadline you will be told upfront.  Its also nice to know we never charge extra for rush orders.

Q – Do you offer a Brampton Board of Trade Member to Member discount?
A - Of course we do!  We offer fellow board members a 10% introductory discount (up to $100.00), and a 5% discount (up to $50.00) on all subsequent orders.
