Should I outsource printing, or only the design?

Do not give design and printing to the same place, when the printer redraws the file their own way. The studio closes the PDF and the proof, and the run can be done by the neighbourhood printer if they respect paper and bleed.

Write to us. A quote with no commitment.

Have the printer you trust and ask what PDF they accept. The miss is the printer “fixing” the menu and changing the type because they did not have the font. Cristina delivers the locked PDF and the paper note; the run is done by whoever you choose.

Short takes, clear examples and tips for local businesses that already exist and need to look like themselves at every touchpoint.
