If you provide the files for your job on one day, you can have the finished print job on the next day. An objective (although not a guarantee) is: "In by 5:00 PM, Ready by 8:00 AM." Please, remember that you are going directly from file to finished piece. You might want to consider getting a one-off proof first; then approving the job for production. This will add a day or more to your project; and, if you have to change the file after seeing the proof, there might be additional charges. However, if you do approve the press proof, it is simply added to the total quantity printed. There are no additional charges.

We retain the press files for your printed pieces. If you need a rerun, we only need to put it in the queue again. We can reprint several hundred overnight. We could even do them on the same day or while you wait, but there might be additional rush charges. If you're at the show in Chicago, and are running out of one piece, you could call and have a reprint shipped overnight.

If you have a presentation to as few as five or ten, but want good quality handouts, we can print them for you directly from Word or PowerPoint. If you need covers for presentation materials, we can print them as you need them.

Our printing press provides the opportunity for variable data printing. We can have a client's name and mailing address in color and in any font you want. No more mailings with dot matrix addresses.

But variable data printing can go much farther than that. Names, words, entire paragraphs, and photographs can be treated as variables. You can print brochures that are client-specific or salesperson-specific ... and include graphics or photographs that change accordingly. You can incorporate client names within the body of the text, or paragraphs of information specific to regions or markets.

Please, be aware that setting up the database(s) of information and/or graphics can be somewaht time consuming, and would require a bit of interaction with us. However, once set up, it (they) can be used for many different mailings or projects.

The six-color process capabilities of our press allow for "Hi-Fi" color as well as more accurate screen builds of certain match colors.

For certain, special applications, the slight but noticeable improvement in six-color photographic separations (sometimes referred to as "Hi-Fi" or "High-Fidelity" color) is desireable. Blues are blue, not purple. Skin tones are not too ruddy. Shadow detail can be improved. Tonal variation in reds and blues is expanded. Be aware that we must do the separation(s) from an RGB colorspace file that has not been converted to CMYK and back. If the file has been converted to CMYK, it is already missing the hues of the expanded color space of six-color process. Please, contact us before embarking on a six-color process project.

Screen builds of certain match colors are vastly improved from CMYK. We can do a screen build of reflex blue or 293! We can provide a wide range of clean oranges! We can do reds like you've never seen in process color. Many other colors are built more accurately with six process colors than with four. However, the process is not as automatic and we would like it to be. It is relatively easy to change the color callouts in a pagelayout program to use the six-color builds. However, it is much more difficult to change vector art. We need the source files, and blends or complex illustrations are difficult or impossible. Please, contact us before embarking on a six-color process project (did we say that before?).
