Ordering custom calendars is an exciting process, and at amazingprint.net, we aim to make it as smooth as possible from start to finish. To help you understand what happens after you place your Calendar Printing order, we’ve outlined our proofing, production, and shipping timelines. Knowing these steps will ensure your personalized calendars are printed perfectly and delivered on time.
The Proofing Process: Ensuring Your Calendar Print is Perfect
Once you’ve placed your order and uploaded your calendar artwork, our expert prepress team immediately gets to work. The first crucial step is proofing. We meticulously inspect your files to guarantee everything is set up for optimal print quality. This includes checking document size to ensure it matches your calendar specifications, verifying bleed lines are correctly placed for edge-to-edge printing, confirming safe margins to prevent content from being trimmed, and assessing image resolution to make sure your photos and graphics appear sharp and clear in the final printed calendar.
Within one business day of your order, you’ll receive a soft proof (PDF) via email for your review and approval. For more intricate calendar designs, this might take a little longer, but we prioritize accuracy. This soft proof is a digital representation of your finished calendar, allowing you to double-check all content, dates, images, and layout before we proceed to printing. It’s your opportunity to make absolutely certain everything is exactly as you envisioned for your custom calendar.
It’s important to note that while soft proofs are excellent for content verification, they are not intended for precise color matching. Monitor displays vary, and backlit screens can make colors appear brighter than they will be in print. If color accuracy is critical for your calendar printing project, especially for branding or specific image colors, we highly recommend requesting a hard proof. Please contact us at [phone number] to arrange a hard proof, which is a physical printed sample that provides a more accurate representation of the final printed colors.
Production Time: How Long Does Calendar Printing Take?
Production time for your calendar order begins immediately after you approve the soft proof. This is the time required to actually print, assemble, and prepare your calendars for shipment. Production time is calculated in business days, starting from 9:00 AM Eastern Time on the business day following your proof approval. Please be aware that our production facility is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and major holidays, which are not included in the production schedule.
The exact production time can vary depending on the complexity and quantity of your calendar order. However, we are committed to efficient production to get your calendars printed and shipped as quickly as possible without compromising on quality. We understand that calendars often have time-sensitive deadlines, and we strive to meet your needs.
