What is our turnaround time?
Our typical schedule is 2 – 3 weeks to allow us 12-15 working days. We DO offer rush schedules based on your project, so please address your due dates if you have one when you inquire.

How do I begin work with you?
As with any project, we will need to collect all specifications and details of your project. From there, we will provide you with our best pricing. Once that has been established, we can go over scheduling and any other fine details. For new customers, credit pre-approval is required or COD terms apply at the beginning of the project, and collect the final balance at project completion.  For established customers, our standard terms are 2%10 - Net 30 days. 

Do you offer editing/publishing?
We are a trade bindery, so we do not typically edit any files, or publish anything for authors. We are happy to make design suggestions when working on a project for the best final product, but do not have the means to design text pages and preprinted covers for you. It is best to have everything exactly as you would like it, so that we can focus on our expertise and give you a high quality product.
