Here are some tips and insider info on how to compress the printing time when you needed your business cards yesterday!
- Double check accuracy of content (especially phone numbers, addresses, and dates). This will prevent re-work.
- Provide pdf files plus the original design files (e.g. Adobe in-design). In addition, attach any non "true type" fonts.
- Have the files set up as a 1-up (this will save production set up time) .
- Review and approve proofs as quickly as possible.
- Request a deadline on a Mon-Thurs (Fridays are the busiest and require at least 3 days advance orders).
- Be willing to pay a rush charge.
- Be willing to be flexible on paper -- being able to use a comparable in stock paper versus a custom paper can save time.
- Be willing to be flexible on color matching (a specific spot color could take longer).
