What's different about a Presskits Quote?

A Presskits Quote is handled individually as one project!

We don't "gang-up" multiple projects to reduce our printing expenses, thereby charging you for the difference. We also don't "cookie-cutter" or treat your project like it was a clone. You took time to design an aesthetic and unique piece. We take the same amount of care to make sure your project looks the best when it comes off our state-of-the-art presses.

We want you to come back as a happy and satisfied repeat customer. That's why we take the time to review, look over the details, and ask as many questions as we do. Sometimes it may take 24-48 hours to send your quote back. We strive to do it sooner, but rest assured, it was reviewed in the best possible manner, by seasoned printing trade professionals.

Tom Spiegel, President and owner of Presskits.

GLOSS / GLOSSY
Glass like and wet looking.

SATIN
A look between a gloss and dull finish. There is some sheen to the sheet, but much less than a gloss look.

DULL
A dull finish provides no reflection on the surface and can be viewed at any angle, unlike a gloss finish.

BOTH GLOSS & DULL
Requires two separate plates on the press. Normally used with a SPOT varnish technique by making some areas of the page glossy and other areas dull. Makes the glossy area "pop" or "stand out" on the page.

Lamination Type

If you chose a Varnish
for your finish, you do
not need to pick a Lamination Type. If you want a Lamination, Varnish will be deselected

None – (no varnish or lamination)
GLOSSY FILM
MATTE FILM
Laminate Film
Film lamination is just that, film. A thin layer is applied using heat and pressure. It makes a very smooth, shiny looking finish and helps stiffen the paper stock. [blue color is just for show.]
None – (no varnish or lamination)
GLOSSY UV
MATTE UV

Laminate Film
UV lamination is a thick lacquer/liquid which is applied like an ink through a roller. A thin layer is applied and runs through a heating system quickly, to dry to a hard finish. It makes a very smooth, glossy, wet looking surface. [red color is just for show.]
DO YOU REQUIRE A PAPER PROOF OTHER THAN PDF?
Proofs

A Digital Acrobat PDF file is automatically provided via eMail. [PDF distilling/processing is included in the cost of your quote. In some cases, a Digital Color Proof/Match Print proof is required depending on the complexity of your job. Presskits can help determine that.]

HOW ARE YOU PROVIDING YOUR PROJECT?
Artwork Supplied

My designer, advertising agency or design studio
         is supplying the art files.
I am experienced with production layouts and my files are
         electronically prepped and ready for printing.
I am not sure of a few things so I need Presskits to check
         my layout before making a proof or printing.
I would like a professional designer to help with my design/
          layout and prepare my graphic files for a proof/printing.

Format Supplied

Macintosh Macintosh         Windows PC
