What programs can you print from?
We can print from Adobe Creative Suite 6 (Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Publisher etc), Quark and many more.
What file formats should I submit my files in?
PDF files are the most preferred for easy printing, but having the raw files in .ai, .ps or other raw formats can help if you need the files to be touched up before printing as well. The files should be set to a resolution of 300dpi for printing in high resolution.
Do you offer design services?
Yes, we do! Tartan Printing provides designing services for most forms of marketing collaterals required, including but not limited to your logo, stationery, banners and more.
What is the expected turnaround for my job?
Please contact us with the details of your job size and scale. Depending on the complexity of the job, we might require a shorter or longer time to complete it. Our turnaround time will also depend on whether or not we have other clients lined up for the next projects.
What is the minimum order size?
Tartan Printing does not have a minimum order size! Whether you need some printing done for a simple college assignment or a large-scale newsletter for your company events, Tartan Printing will be happy to help you out.
What paper stock types are available at Tartan Printing?
We have a wide variety of paper stocks for different printing needs, such as matte, gloss, vinyl, linen and more. You can always contact us to confirm the availability of certain paper stocks that you are looking for.
What colour types should I use for my printing files?
Where possible, use CYMK mode for your photos instead of RGB mode. This preserves the accuracy and consistency of the colors even after they have been printed. When you use an RGB colour model, the produced print could have a slightly different shade as compared to what the image looks like on your screen.
How do I get a cost estimate from you?
You can use our online estimate form to find out what the cost could be like on average. However, if you are looking for a more accurate quotation, feel free to contact us with all the information necessary and we will get back to you with an accurate quote!
What is a “proof”?
A proof is how we ensure that your type has been set accurately and that everything has been arranged as closely to your requirements as possible. The proof will typically either be sent online to you or printed on paper – which we can then fax or deliver to you.
What is a “bleed”?
Bleed is a term used for printing, which refers to the printed area that goes beyond the trimming line. When you create a design that goes beyond the bleed, there won’t be any lines on the page’s edges after trimming – a bleed of 1/8th of an inch is generally recommended.
What is the Pantone Matching System (PMS)?
This system represents each colour on the spectrum accurately by having a unique identifier number on them.
