Rush Orders
Rush service is available for orders that must be shipped sooner than our standard turnaround time for a nominal charge. Please call customer service to confirm receipt of purchase order and find out what the fastest delivery time we can offer at that time for an additional rush charge.
Billing & Credit Cards

Our Size Limits
The smallest size job we can produce is 2 x 2 and the largest size we can produce is 11x17 with no bleeds.
Screens must be supplied in art as positive form at the desired density. Optimum screen is 85 line at 10% or coarser when we are shooting from an original. If your art is supplied digitally we will reproduce the screen at 120 lpi.
Artwork Requirements
We MUST have 5/16" gripper (blank area) around the form. This is so that our press operators have the space to be able to "grip" the paper without cutting off any of your form. If there is not at least the 5/16" gripper customer service and prepress need to know BEFORE proceeding.
If a 5/16" gripper is not provided we will call or email to see if we can reduce the form to get our gripper. If you realize that the artwork doesn't have gripper but that it can be reduced you can put this on your PO or email to let us know so that we won't have to contact you and possibly hold up the job.
Scans, .pngs, .jpegs or anything coming off of the internet is a raster file (which prints as pixels and will be bitmapped and not crisp). We prefer to use vector art (clean images created from original art), but with your approval will use the pixilated file. If the only art that you can email us is a scanned image and you have the hard copy it would be in your best interest to send it to us via snail mail, Fed Ex or UPS. If the only artwork that you have is the scanned/bitmapped image and it is OK to use as artwork please mention this on your PO or in your email and we won't have to call or hold the job while waiting for an answer.
