FAQs

1. What is the turnaround time?
Please allow up to 48 hours for the first proof. Once artwork is approved, please allow up to 48 hours for the completed project. If we are mailing and/or addressing your project for the post office, please allow additional 3 days. In most cases, we can complete your project from start to finish within 3-4 days for non-mailing projects. If you require less than 48 hours to complete your project we will try to accommodate your needs, but a $25 dollar rush charge may apply.

2. How will I receive a proof and give approval?
All proofs will be sent via email, unless a hardcopy proof is requested for review for color accuracy. We must receive written approval via email for our records. We cannot accept verbal approvals.

3. How should I communicate changes to my artwork?
We recommend all changes be emailed to us for best efficiency and cost effectiveness OR we can have the designer call you when they are working on your project. Typically the first fifteen minutes are free, thereafter $65/hour.

4. Can I get a high-res proof/camera ready artwork from you?
We can relinquish the artwork to you for an additional $45 without the REPS Proof watermark.

5. Why is my color proof different from my final product?
Each digital printer and monitor varies. We cannot guarantee that we will match the color to your specifications. However, we can print a hardcopy proof for you to review before the project is completed---please let us know in advance before approving the project.
