Q. Do designs print similar to their appearance on screen?
A. Depending on your screen size and resolution, the designs may appear bigger or smaller on screen than the actual printed version of the design, but elements of the design (card/compliment slip/letterhead/envelope) will print in the same proportions as they appear on screen, in respect to the size of elements and also the spacing between elements, elements being text and logo’s
All text elements will print with specified characteristics as displayed on screen (i.e. with correct font/bold/italic/position)
All Logo elements will print as displayed on screen in terms of position and size. The quality of the printed logo will depend on the quality of the logo you provide (i.e upload). The higher the dpi of the logo, the better the end result.
The colours of the text and logo elements you see on the screen, maybe slightly different to printed version in terms of shades. This is because screens show colour in RGB and depending on screen model and settings the same colour may appear different on different screens. Whereas we print the colour using CMYK ink. So a red that appears very bright on screen, may appear less bright when printed.
You can check the CMYK codes we use for the colours on our colour palette, which you will use to colour text and the canvas of a business card. The CMYK codes of the colours you specify will be used on the printed card. When you upload your logo we ask you to provide us with details about the colours so we can reproduce the colours as accurately as possible on the printed design.
To summarise, the printed version of the design should be near perfect in respect to screen design, with the possibility of slight variations in colour shades between what you see on the screen and the corresponding printed colour.
