Taxes extra · print-ready fileThese are real examples, not a fixed rate: paper, finish and quantity change everything. The quote is free and you'll have it within 24 business hours.
Turnaround
The normal turnaround for most jobs, starting from proof approval. Cards, flyers, posters, labels.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Free PDF proof for every order, certified paper proof on request ($25). Nothing goes on press before your written “approved.”
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.
Up to 25 MB by email to fichiers@trameetrepere.ca, larger files via WeTransfer or on a USB key at the counter.
