YES! For promo materials such as business cards, flyers and such you can request the digital proof ONLY , and you will receive the photos of the item for your approval.
For jobs that include books, novels, comic books, specialty prints or TPB’s we do supply samples under the following terms:
- Digital proof: for any job under 100 units, we will produce a sample copy , take some photos and send them to you by email.
- Printed Proof: when the total or at least a 50% of the job has been paid, we will produce a sample copy and either, take some photos and send them to you by email or (with payment of shipping cost) mail a printed proof copy directly to client.

Same day Printing : Most of the time we will be able to complete certain products, like business cards the same day. This is considered a rush job and will have an additional cost, and requires you submit print ready files.
The average turnaround time will be between 5 to 7 business days (not including Saturday and Sunday) after the sample proof has been confirmed by the client; shipping time is not considered in the completion time.
