You can submit your own design or we can help create one for you. Whether refining your artwork or starting from scratch, we’ll work with you to ensure your print matches your vision.

We accept high-resolution vector files like AI, EPS, or PDF. For digital, offset, and giclée printing, we also accept raster formats such as TIFF, PNG, or JPEG. Vector files are preferred for the best results.

Including bleed ensures edge-to-edge printing without any white borders. Extend your artwork 2mm beyond the artboard on all sides to allow for minor trimming shifts.

Set your artboard to the exact final print size at 100% scale in units of length (imperial / metric) to avoid scaling issues and ensure your design looks correct at full print size.

When using raster images, set to 300 dpi at the actual print size. This ensures your design remains sharp and clear without pixelation. Low resolution can cause your images to appear blurry or fuzzy, especially on larger prints.

Always use CMYK color mode for print designs to achieve accurate color reproduction on paper. RGB is used for screens and can result in color shifts when printed.

To avoid cutting off essential elements, keep all important text and graphics at least 3-5mm away from the edge. This safety margin ensures that nothing crucial is lost during the trimming process.

Zoom in to 100% and review your design at actual print size. This helps ensure that all text and intricate details are clear and legible. Small elements may look fine on screen but can become unclear when printed.

Ensure that all elements in your design are properly aligned and consistently spaced including typography, margins, and the overall layout. Misalignment may be subtle on screen, but it can be noticeable in the final print.

Letterpress ink is typically not 100% opaque, so printing light ink on dark paper may result in a faded appearance. For this, we recommend using hot foil, which provides a metallic finish that stands out clearly.

Yes, you can print multiple colors, but each requires a separate print run. Each color in your design is printed separately with its own plate or screen, so make sure your artwork is organized in layers by colour / finishing.

For a deeper impression, we recommend using thicker papers, such as 450-600gsm. While 300-350gsm works well, the thicker the paper stock, the more pronounced and noticeable the deboss will be.

Solid areas of color can lead to variations in ink density across the print run. Slight inconsistencies are expected, particularly in larger areas. For some designs, this variation is a desired, unique effect.

Yes, you can combine letterpress, hot foil, and silkscreen printing to create a unique, multi-dimensional effect. It is crucial plan the design to ensure the methods complement each other without interfering.

We typically recommend a minimum of 50 pieces due to setup costs. Printing fewer can significantly increase the cost per unit, and designs with more layers or finishes may require a higher quantity for cost efficiency.

We can provide a sample however we can't do an exact ‘test print’ due to the setup and plates required for each print. We recommend scheduling a studio visit to explore which combination of paper and print technique works best.

Yes, you can, but the depth of the impression may be reduced. We will control the pressure to minimize any marks, though some pressure may still be visible. We also recommend using thicker card stock for better results.

Yes, you can. However, some papers are better suited for certain techniques. Let us know your paper choice, and we’ll advise on its suitability. We also recommend ordering 10-20% extra sheets to cover setup and print errors.
