All consumers’ printers and devices screen are not calibrated to commercial standard. Therefore, there is no guarantee that your finished piece will approximate your printed sample. On top of this, different output devices including offset, inkjet and laser printers, printed on similar paper material, will produce different color tone. This is mainly due to its ink technology, adsorption of ink into the paper used.
Note: 2B Printing, is an established Commercial Printer, uses true offset lithography and continuous tone proofing devices, to achieve +/-10% variation on similar batch of paper material per Pantone® Matching System (PMS) Color Chart.

You will receive a digital proof via email. All consumers’ device screens are not calibrated to commercial standard.

Color proof sample delivery can be arranged with a surcharge.
8. What are trim/cutting line, outer bleed and internal bleed?
Trim line is where printed products will be cut. Trim line shown on the proof will not be printed. Artworks which have images required printing to the edge without white border need a file with bleed outside of trim line. Therefore, we can print on a larger sheet of paper and then trimmed down to the size. Internal bleed is when all important text/graphics are kept within a distance from the trim line. Internal bleed (also known Safe Zone) is depending on printing process, but it is usually 2~3mm inside of each side of trim line. For more info, please View Artwork Guide
9. What is a “vector” format?
Vector art is usually created in Adobe Illustrator, and is commonly saved with certain file extensions. Vector file is required for special finish such as foil / embossed / spot UV / letterpress, and so on. The three most common Vector file extensions are .ai, .pdf and .eps. However, just because a file is saved in one of these formats, does not mean that it is truly vector art. If you do not have vector file and unsure what it is, please email us the file you have!
