Question

How can I see printed colors before committing to a large order?

Answer

To see exactly how your colors will print before a big run, order a small quantity at regular pricing. A paid short run is the most reliable way to judge real printed color in person.

  • Place a small-quantity order at standard pricing to preview your printed colors.
  • Free samples are limited to a single design, so a paid short run is better for checking your own artwork.
  • Review the printed piece under the lighting where it will actually be used.
  • Once the color looks right, scale up to your full quantity with confidence.
