When printing in CMYK, also known as four color process, there are 4 ink colors used which blend together to produce the image you see on the paper. Because of this blending, there can be slight variances in the color. It’s also important to note that the finished printed product will usually look different than the proof you view on your monitor, or if you print out the proof on your inkjet or laser printer.
Ideally, books should be stored in an area where the temperature is around 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and the humidity is between 30% to 50%.

Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee the turn-around time. This is because when dealing with sophisticated printing and binding equipment which can break down, as well as human beings who can get sick, it’s impossible to 100% guarantee the turnaround time. However, because equipment is well maintained, and there are crews that can work multiple pieces of equipment, it is very rare that we don’t meet our obligation to you.

Each job is placed with the plant that has the equipment that is best suited for the specifications of your job, and/or closest to the final shipping destination. If it is important for you to know the location of where your job is being printed, you will be notified during the quoting process.
Unfortunately, company policy does not allow for this.
