Turnaround

3-5 days
Standard production

The normal turnaround for most jobs, starting from proof approval. Cards, flyers, posters, labels.

24 h
Rush service

For digital jobs, if the file is ready and received before 10 am: ready by 3 pm the next day. 25% surcharge. We confirm feasibility before charging anything.

7-10 days
Offset high volume and special finishes

Runs over 10,000, papers to order, foil or embossing. We give you a firm date, not a range.

What extends a turnaround: file needing correction, unapproved proof, paper to order, foil or embossing (outsourced, +2 days), quantity over 20,000 copies.

Your files,

in plain terms

You don't need to know this vocabulary — that's our job. But if you want to get it right the first time, here are the only four rules that matter.

High-resolution PDF

Export as PDF (X-1a if your software offers it), fonts embedded. We also accept Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop files. A Word or Canva file? Send it anyway, we'll take a look.

Bleed

If a color or photo touches the edge, extend it 0.125 in (3 mm) beyond the final size. Otherwise a thin white line can appear after trimming.

Resolution: 300 dpi

Images need to be 300 pixels per inch at final size. An image pulled from a website (72 dpi) will look blurry when printed — we'll tell you before we print.

CMYK color mode

Screens work in RGB, the press works in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black). Some very bright blues and greens darken in conversion. We convert for you and show you the result on the proof.

Proof before printing

Free PDF proof for every order, certified paper proof on request ($25). Nothing goes on press before your written “approved.”

No designer? No problem.

Our designer builds your project at $65/h (30 to 45 minutes for a typical business card). Minor edits to an existing file: free. We never bill for a correction without telling you.

Sending files

Up to 25 MB by email to fichiers@trameetrepere.ca, larger files via WeTransfer or on a USB key at the counter.

The workshop

7,000 sq ft on one floor: prepress, 5-color offset press + coating, two full-color digital presses, 64-inch large format plotter, programmable guillotine, folder, saddle stitcher and perfect binder.
Paper in stock: about forty types, from 80 lb coated to 16 pt cardstock, textured papers and 100% post-consumer recycled papers. FSC certification for projects that require it.
Vegetable-based inks on offset, solvent-free latex inks for large format, 100% recovery of paper trimmings and aluminum plates.
Capacity: up to 60,000 sheets per week in offset, without outsourcing. What we don't do here (foil, embossing), we tell you honestly.
