Litho Printing FAQ

What  paper stocks do you use?
For our business cards, bookmarks and postcards we use a standard 350gsm coated board available with a solid UV gloss varnish finish on the colour side at no additional charge. For our flyers and brochures we use a standard 130gsm gloss paper, which allows us to print double sided without too much shine through. For our letterheads and compliment slips we use a 90gsm matt bond paper.

How long will it take for my printing to be ready?
We offer a general turnaround time of 7 working days from artwork approval.
Please keep in mind that certain items like invoice books may take a few days extra due to the additional finishing, as do business cards with rounded corners or drilled holes. Due to the nature of printing, there are sometimes factors beyond our control which may affect the turnaround time. Turnaround time is calculated from the time we receive the artwork approval, Monday to Friday are our standard working days. 


What is the minimum order?
Please have a look at our price list for minimum quantities.



I want to print 500 business cards, can I split the quantity and do a few different names?
Unfortunately we cannot.  We can however do a minimum run of 500 cards per name for each person in your company or else you can always have all the names and details on one card.



What do your business cards include?
Our business cards are printed full colour onto a 350gsm board. Unlike most other print companies we have all the print extras included in the price - such as the UV gloss on the colour side of the card as well as a black ink reverse on the back. We also do double sided full colour cards too with UV gloss on both sides.



What sizes are your business cards and flyers?
We print SA industry standard sizes:
Business card size : 50mm x 90mm
Flyers sizes :
A3 (420mm x 297mm)
A4 (297mm x 210mm)
A5 (210mm x 148mm)
A6 (148mm x 105mm)
DL (99mm x 210mm)
A4 is the size of a sheet of computer printer paper.



How many colours can I use on my artwork?
We print in full colour, so you can use as many colours as you want. It can even include photos and logos.



Can you produce artwork for me?
Yes we can, we offer a full range of design and artwork services. Give us the details of what you want and we will be happy to quote.

Can I supply my own ‘print-ready’ artwork?
Yes you are more than welcome to provide your own ‘print-ready’ artwork provided it follows our artwork requirements. Please visit our website to see how to supply your artwork, there are templates for download too.

Will you check my job for any errors?
We check all supplied artwork to the best of our ability. We always email a digital proof before print when we have produced the artwork for you.

If I supply my artwork in Word, Excel or Powerpoint, why do I have to pay artwork re-setting fees?
Unfortunately we cannot print from any of the Microsoft office products due to the way in which they create the file, as it is not compatible with our printing methods. We will have to re-create your artwork in an industry standard design programme such as Corel draw, Photoshop etc…

Do you keep my artwork on file?
Yes we do. If you require more cards or flyers in future, and the artwork is still the same, we will only charge you for the printing as we will have the artwork.



Can I use an image off my website on my printing?
In most cases, No. The resolution of artwork for printing should be at least 300dpi to create high quality printing. Most website images are only 72dpi and will print “fuzzy”. If supplying your own artwork, please ensure a minimum of 300dpi. If small text is used, we recommend a minimum file size of 600dpi.



I am doing my own artwork, what is bleed?
Bleed is the term printers’ use when the background colour or images runs off the edge of the page. By adding a 2mm all round bleed to your artwork, you ensure that there will be no white edge showing when the final printing has been trimmed.



How much will delivery cost?
We can deliver anywhere in South Africa from R100 using our courier or you are welcome to send your own. If you require delivery please request the price with your quotation or order.



I am not satisfied with the quality of my print job, will you reprint my job?
Please return your print job so we can find out what went wrong. If we deem the problem a manufacturing defect (ie a fault on our side), we will be more than happy to reprint your job. However Chameleon Graphics will not be responsible for design flaws on jobs not designed by us. Including but not limited to colour issues, typos, resolution issues or not enough bleed for cutting etc... 



What about privacy and security?
No information we collect for order processing is shared with any other company or website. Your information is only used to contact you when necessary.
