 When can I have it? When do you need it? We'll do what we can to be timely. How long will it take to complete my job? Another "well … it depends." Some jobs go like this: 1 or 2 days per each operation. For example: 1 to 2 days for prep, 1 to 2 days for press, 1 to 2 days for scoring, 1 to 2 days for folding or saddle binding and boxing or shrink-wrapping. It may take longer depending on your quantity. What kind of files do you accept? All the "standard" applications: Mac or PC QuarkXPress, InDesign, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. Go to related topic Can you help me choose the right paper? How will the product be used? Do you have to be able to write on the piece? Tell us your goals and we'll help you find a paper to meet them. Will my files print differently on uncoated paper? Yes. Would you like to see samples? Send an email request for samples Will the printing match the proof? Yes, and no. If you're printing on an uncoated stock, it will be hard to simulate the loss of brilliance with a proof. If you're printing on a coated stock, the 4-color process parts will be accurate. Pantone matches may vary. Go to related topic I'm printing on a matte coated stock. Why does it look different from the proof? Matte coated stocks are not as reflective as gloss stocks. They're also less reflective than dull or satin stocks. A cross-section of matte stock would reveal more air pockets and a rougher surface that refracts (absorbs) more light than it reflects. What's with the viewing booth light? The viewing booth light gives us all a chance to view a proof under the same lighting conditions. Monitors, incandescent lights, and fluorescent lights all vary widely. To be able to evaluate color accurately we use lights that are consistently 5000 degrees Kelvin. The tendency of color to change with the light source under which it is viewed is known as metamerism. For example, two reds may appear to match under fluorescent light, but clash badly in sunlight. There's a great case for the viewing booth light. How do I upload a file to your FTP site? You may upload your files to us from an FTP
application or from this web site. Can Park retouch that "_____" out of my photo? Yes. We can help you make edits to clean up or improve the accuracy of your images. |
