Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about our services. This will be updated every now and then!
Yes. However! Whether or not you submit your files in RGB or CMYK, we will always print in CMYK. Because our printers can only print in CMYK. You may refer to our default color profile below!
You may draw/edit your stickers in CMYK but you have to convert them back to RGB to save them as a transparent .PNG file.
Prints can be PNG (full sheet with cutting) or JPEG (no cutting/template size) but you can only save CMYK images in JPEG.
But make sure that the files are 300dpi.
Our default color profile for CMYK is U.S. Coated (SWOP) v2Âon Photoshop CC.
For all prints, colors will tend to desaturate by a percent since they will be printed on a paper medium.
Matte texture papers reflect less light:Â darker colors will become a bit darker and lighter colors will become paler/slightly grayer.
Glossy paper absorbs more ink and reflects more light:Â darker colors become blacker/high contrast and lighter colors become more vibrant.
Essentially when you draw on your canvas, it's usually RGB and how your computer screen reflects colors with a backlight.
When you convert artworks into CMYK they become a little greyer because paper will not reflect white like how computer screens or phone screens show white light. (Paper has no light!)
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key. Key stands for Key Color. In this case, our key color is Black because this determines the color outcome of the printed images.
Matte is good for pastel, muted, monologous, traditional style artworks
GlossyÂis good for vibrant, saturated, bright, leaning towards neon-colored artworks
This advice is referring to paper type only, regardless of laminate type.
Our production time is usually 2-3 business days before ship out.
But during con crunch or convention season, our Order Queue is usually full. We will take much longer, up to a week or more, during these times due to the order volume.
Note: Business days do not include weekends, holidays or days when we are closed.
Printing and binding books have a lead time of 2-3 weeks or at least 15 business days before ship out. WE CANNOT RUSH BOOKS.
We have limited staff who can handle printing and assembly so it will take time to finish books!
Note: Business days do not include weekends, holidays or days when we are closed.
Waterproof — the medium is usually not made of traditional paper, and is hydrophobic or will not absorb water eg. vinyl sticker paper
Water resistant— the medium is made of paper, paper/tree pulp, and will absorb water but is coated with lamination eg. photo sticker paper with matte lamination
