Good planning goes a long way to ensuring a successful project.
- Provide detailed and precise timelines for the completion of all print requests.
- Supply print-ready files to Print Services.
- If the project is a reprint with specialized instructions, include a sample of the last job.
- Cost estimates can be requested regardless of the size of the project. A print-ready file should be supplied for accurate estimates. Cost estimates are generally valid for 30 days.
- Consult Print Services before making last minute design decisions. Small changes in design can sometimes make a substantial difference in the cost .
Scheduling is an important part of the printing process. Turnaround time is based on three factors:
- Our volume of work at the time of your request.
- The complexity of your job.
- Our ability to plan ahead - consulting with Print Services is recommended.
A general rule of thumb is that simple requests will normally be completed within one to three working days after we receive the job. For large scale projects, featuring colour printing and specialized bindery service, a few weeks may be needed.
If your project has to be completed by a certain time, we will do everything in our power to help you meet your deadline. The bigger or more complex the request, the more lead-time we require.
Special paper orders can also increase turnaround time. If in a rush, consider selecting from our selection of in-stock papers. Our inventory includes various weights, colours, and textures of paper.
