Description of Color options:

4/4: (Spoken: "four over four")
This term is printer short hand for a printed piece that is printed four color process (full color) on both sides (front and back) of a two sided piece. The forward slash represents the sheet of the paper, while the number on the left hand side of the slash is the number of ink colors on the front and the number on the right hand side represents the number of ink colors on the back of the sheet.

4/0: (Spoken: "four over zero")
This term is printer short hand for a printed piece that is printed four color process (full color) on the front and blank on the back of the piece. The forward slash represents the sheet of the paper, while the number on the left hand side of the slash is the number of ink colors on the front and the number on the right hand side represents the number of ink colors on the back of the sheet.

Four Color Process:
Also known as "Process Color" or "Pleasing Color". A method of laying color images onto paper in commercial printing. By using four ink colors; Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK) a commercial printing press is able to reproduce full color photo quality images.

This is achieved by converting each color into "screens" or a series of "dots" set at a percentage of the original color. The smaller the percentage the smaller the dot the lighter the color. For instance 50% Black (K) would look gray.

If you are ordering a 1-2 color spot item please make sure that your art is built correctly with pantone colors. We also encouraged our customers or email us the pantone numbers.

This drop down is designated to show you how many sides your piece will be printed with.

Do not use this drop down to try to make your piece one or two sided. In order to change the number of sides, you will need to use the "Color" drop down.

To create a one sided piece select 4/0, for a two sided piece select 4/4.

Use this drop down to select the type of coating you would like applied to your finished product.

Description of Coatings:

UV Coating
UV coating is a very reflective plastic-like extremely glossy coating that is applied to print to offer a durability and finish not available with AQ (Aqueous) coating. UV coating hardens on the sheet by applying a high intensity Ultraviolet light. This process is similar to the process dentists use to seal molars. If you don't need to write on the product after it is printed, and you prefer a super-glossy finish, this is your best option. (Although it can be written on with sharpie's and certain types of pens) Cutting accuracy also is affected slightly as it is hard to cut a stack of slippery sheets, even with today's leading technology in cutting equipment, and sharp operators. At this time, UV is only offered on our 14pt and 16pt products. If you plan on doing a Postcard Mailing and would like the Postcard UV Coated then please make sure that only the front is UV Coated.

Spot UV Coating
A Spot UV coating is just a UV Coating just in certain spots of the design. For Example if you had a Postcard with a Car on it and you wanted the car to stand out you could print the postcard where only the car has a UV Coating. The result would be a postcard where the car shines more than the rest of postcard.

Aqueous Coating
AQ Coating is a moderately reflective coating applied during the printing process, for protection and to allow the printing of the backside immediately. It adds a nice sheen to your finished piece but is not as reflective as a UV Coating. Aqueous is offered standard on almost all of our coated stocks.

Matte Coating
A Matte Coating is similar to the Aqueous Coating except it is the least reflective coating we offer and appears dull and almost absorbs light more than reflecting it. It is a very good option for business cards that need an enamel on them but also need to be written on with a pen.

This drop down is dedicated to Conversion.

We use the term Conversion as a blanket term to describe things that get done to your printed piece after it is printed. This is also commonly referred to as bindery. Folding, Die Cutting, Embossing, Debossing, and Foil Stamping are all examples of conversion. Folding is the most common conversion option for brochures, but there are other services available. Please see the "Other Services" tab. Please request an estimate to get pricing for projects that Die Cut, Emboss, Deboss, Foil Stamp or have some sort of other post press need.

Here are a few of the different folding options we offer:

Half Fold

Tri-Fold
