Set the brief.
Send the piece, quantity, wording, dimensions and in-hand date. We agree on paper, ink colors and a written quote. Extra pieces, shipping and original artwork are priced before work begins.
How a print job goes
PROOF.
APPROVE.
PRESS.
The careful part starts before the ink. Here is how your words become a finished stack.
Read the proof.
Allow about one week for layout and proofing when your words and artwork are ready. Two rounds of digital proof changes are included. Check names, spelling, dates, addresses and every line break.
A screen shows layout, not the exact paper feel or ink color. We can arrange a paper visit before you approve.
Approve, then print.
Written proof approval and a 50% deposit secure the agreed press slot. We make the plate, mix the ink, set the impression and print the sheets. Changes after approval require a new price and schedule.
Production starts from that approval and deposit: 4–6 weeks for wedding invitations, 3–4 weeks for holiday cards, and 2–3 weeks for business cards or small runs.
Trim, count, collect.
We check the run, trim or fold as agreed, count and pack it. The balance is due before pickup or shipping. Pickup is by appointment Tuesday–Friday, 10am–5pm; shipping is quoted separately and transit time is additional.
Leave time for a second read.
Production lead times do not include the proofing week or shipping. If the date is fixed, work backward from it and let us confirm the press calendar before making other plans.
A few details get the press moving.
Start with the words you have, the number of pieces and your in-hand date.
