We accept a variety of file formats, including PDF, JPG, PNG, and HEIC. It's best to check what product we are printing so that we get the proper file for the proper item or order online and our system will convert the file to the correct format.
Our turnaround time can vary depending on the print item and the size of the order. Most orders are printed within a few days. We offer expedited services for an additional fee.
Print labs typically offer a variety of paper and printing materials and we are no exception. We can print on all different weights and finishes of paper, canvas and vinyl, as well as various types of ink and toner. We like to say we print anything on everything and we mean it. We print on Metal, Slate, Shirts, Hats, Ceramic and even Flip Flops. Just ask, we probably print on it.

Your originals will always be returned to you. However, it may not be necessary to continue storing the originals in their physical state. If you have multiple safe and proven backups of the newly digitized files – you can likely get rid of original media taking up space in your home.
No. Any device we provide should not be considered permanent storage. Immediately copy your digital files to multiple secure locations. One example of this is on a shared cloud account, on a trusted computer, and with a family member. Label the thumb drive/DVD with the year or subject matter before storing it in a safe place. Keep one copy of the files off-site in case of fire or environmental catastrophe.
