Supporting Black Builds

With large black ink coverages bigger than 1 inch x 1 inch or black text that is over 14 pt, it is highly recommended to add a support of other colors to turn your black ink coverages into a rick black. Without these areas being supported with Cyan, Magenta and Yellow, your black ink coverage may look too light. See below for our recommended support values.

VERY IMPORTANT

Solid black areas that are not supported with Cyan, Magenta and Yellow may appear to look washed out and faded. We cannot guarantee a satisfactory product if the black ink is not supported in this manner and a finish is not applied. We recommend a support of:

Cyan: 40%

Magenta: 30%

Yellow: 30%

Black: 100%

Note: UV Coating or Soft Touch Lamination is highly recommended for solid black covers. Again, we will not be responsible if the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black percentages are not followed and a finish is not applied.

Proof

While a hard copy proof can be considered close in color and saturation, it is not meant to be used as an exact color match proof.

Turnaround (The time it takes from your desktop to your doorstep)

Be sure to combine your Production Time and Shipping Transit Time accordingly.

Shrink Wrap

Shrink wrapping is the process of enclosing your product in a clinging transparent film that, when heated, shrinks tightly onto the pieces inside. In most situations, we bundle your product in convenient bundles to help when shipping. If you have a specific count that you want your packages bundled in, then select the desired number in the shrink wrap drop down. A small fee will be applied.

Hole Drilling

Our most common types of hole drilling are three-hole drilling and one-hole drilling.

3-hole drilling is when 3 holes are bored into the printed piece, allowing for it to be placed in a binder. 3-hole drilling is great for guides, annual reports, menus, and many other types of products that you intend to store in a 3-ring binder.

1-hole drilling is when 1 hole is bored into either the corner or the center the printed piece. A center hole is generally used for calendars so it can be pinned to the wall to hang. A single corner hole can be useful for attaching a ring to your project (similar to a paint swatch book).

If you are looking for custom hole-drilling not listed on our pricing tool, please give us a call at 800-995-1555.
