Printing for an event? Say the date first. It decides whether a job is
possible at all, and it is the one thing that cannot be fixed after the fact — everything
else about a print order can be changed, and a date cannot.

Artwork
You have a file
Send it and there is no design charge. It gets checked before it goes to press — resolution, bleed, and whether the thing that matters is too close to a trim edge. A file that will not print properly is worth ten minutes of somebody's attention before it becomes four hundred pieces of waste.
You do not
$65 flat, and it buys 3 different mockups rather than one — real options to choose between, not a single take you either accept or argue with. Then 2 rounds of changes on the one you pick. First mockups back within 48 hours.
What it costs
Printing is priced by size, quantity, stock and finishing, so there is no single number worth putting on a page — a banner can be forty dollars or four hundred and the difference is not subtle. Ask with the details and you get a real quote, usually the same day.
- Shipping is billed on top, at cost. What UPS charges, with nothing added.
- Sales tax applies to the printing. Printed goods are taxable in California; separately stated shipping and postage are not.
- Design is $65 or nothing — nothing if you send a print-ready file.
