Working With Us
Our Process
The process for a custom order is pretty straight forward.
If you are supplying the file to print, please send us a PDF for each color with all fonts imbedded. Please note that the colors in each PDF should be set to 0% cyan, 0% magenta, 0% yellow, 100% black. You are responsible for the fidelity of your files, including color registration.
If we create your design, upon receipt of a your deposit we will first send you a few options based on our collaboration. If you have your final copy, great, we'll use it in our designs. If not, we'll use dummy copy for the first round. After that, we will make necessary revisions and resubmit. At this point, final copy is due so we can make sure it works in the layout. We will then send a layout for final approval. Upon receipt of final approval, we will order the plates and print your job. You are solely responsible for making sure there are no typographical errors before we order plates.
Since mixing inks isn't necessarily an exact science, we will send color swatches for your approval prior to printing whether you supply the file or we do. Please allow about four to six weeks from final approval of layout for delivery. Timing may vary depending on the scope of the project.

How We Print

01
Hand-Set Type
Old school. The way Gutenberg did it. Usually made of lead, but sometimes wood. We have a selection of typefaces to choose from but variety and sizes are limited.

02
Polymer Plates
New school. The way Gutenberg would do it if he were alive today. Computer-made using Adobe Illustrator. The possibilities are limited only by one's imagination.
