How soon can I get my order?
Since we operate with night and weekend shifts, we can complete most orders in five days. And we mean calendar days, not business days, like most printers. Workload permitting, we can also expedite orders to accommodate accelerated timelines.

How do I know whether digital or offset printing is right for my project?
Typically, it depends on the number of pieces you need, types of special finishes and the end use of the piece. Generally speaking, if you need more than 500 pieces printed, it becomes more cost-effective to use offset printing. If you want to individualize each piece using variable data, digital is the way to go. The fastest way to find out what’s right for you is to call us. With a few basic questions, one of our experts can point you in the right direction.

What is Prepress?
In the literal sense, prepress is the process of transforming your original electronic document into a print-ready offset plate or properly formatted digital file. In practice, prepress is the critical gateway between you and the production floor. Our world-class prepress team ensures the integrity, accuracy and quality of the files to be printed. To help achieve this, Capitol City Press offers:

• State-of-the-art color matching technology
• High resolution scanning services
• FTP site for easy file transfer
• Direct to plate technology

What is a Proof?
A proof is your opportunity to verify the accuracy of your piece before it goes to print. We can provide you with a proof of your project within 24 hours, and our Rampage remote proofing system enables you to conveniently review and annotate your proof over the Internet. Our Fuji Final Proof system for contract color provides a dot-for-dot representation of the final piece.
