Printing Timeline: a Check List to Help you be on Time and Save you From Unnecessary Hassles and Fees
Author: Sophie Charalambous Know your deadline the day you must have the order in hand - and communicate it with us while placing your order.
Allow both the designer and the printer adequate time so that you do not risk quality in order to save time.
Have your artwork files ready and approved before you place your order. You can preorder before submitting your files to save you some time, but it will not get your order printed faster.
Turnaround time starts counting from the moment you approved the proof, if one was requested. Allow up to 48 hours for a proof to be posted.
Turnaround time starts counting from the moment your files pass the art department and are considered worthy for printing, if a proof was not requested. Allow up to 48 hours for the files to go through the art department.
Turnaround time factors in time for drying, so that your order is fully dry before shipping.
Know the turnaround time for the product you are ordering ahead of time for better planning.
2 color jobs take longer to print than 4 colors, due to the different technology used and the manual ink mixing process. Consider full color printing if time is an issue.
Products that require finishing (e.g. folding and assembly), such as presentation folders and carbonless forms, require longer turnaround times.
