Frequently Asked Questions

Q. – How long does it take Copycat Printing to turn my job around?

A. – Times may vary based on size, complexity and operation. On average turn around time for any job, not including copy jobs is generally one week. Although, different jobs require different production times due to ink colors, paper stock, and many other uncontrollable variables. We will do everything possible to get your job to you as fast as we can.

Q. – How much does it cost to print a job?

A. – The answer to this question differs from job to job. However, since you are here we would suggest you use our online estimate request form. If you want to ensure that we get all of the necessary information to do an accurate quote, give us a call and talk with one of our customer service representatives.

Q. – What is the difference between one-color, two-color and four color (process)?

A. – One color and two color are just as they sound. One color is one color of ink (not limited to black) and two color is two different ink colors, both on whatever paper stock you choose. Four color printing utilizes the four standard printing inks: cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Mixtures of these four colors will reproduce color images such as photos.

Q. – Can I look at my job before it is printed?

A. – Yes you can! We provide proofs on all orders processed unless otherwise requested. A proof is a way of ensuring that we have set your type accurately and that everything is positioned according to your requirements. It is important that you take the responsibility to carefully examine each proof. The final responsibility for the correction of each printed piece is yours. We are not responsible for errors in any printed piece if it is produced as approved by you, the customer.
