1. What services does Derby City Litho offer?

What services do you want? Derby City Litho offers an incredibly diverse array of printing options to get the job done right! We offer offset printing options from simple single-color jobs to long run four and six color projects with multiple finishes. We also have digital printing capabilities for every job from quick, short-run prints or complex variable data printing. But that is just the beginning of our services. DCL can take care of your job from the design of the piece, to the print, to the finishing, bindery, fulfillment, mailing, and/or shipping.

2. What file types can be used for print?

Our preferred file formats are: Acrobat (PDF), Illustrator (AI, EPS), InDesign (INDD), or Photoshop (PSD).

3. What if I used an application that is not listed as a preferred file format?

If your application can generate a press-quality PDF file, that can be used to print. While we accept any PDF file that meets our requirements and passes our preflight process, we can only provide support for the applications listed on our website. Some applications may be able to create a PDF file, but not create a PDF that meets quality four-color printing standards. Contact Derby City Litho with any questions.

4. What is the your turnaround time for a print job?

While 2-3 working days is an average turnaround time for most orders, the complexity of each job determines the turn time.

5. Can I receive a proof?

Absolutely! We will provide you with a proof to review that is appropriate to the complexity of your print piece. A color critical job may require a high resolution proof of the entire press sheet to size, whereas a repeat order of business cards may only need an email pdf proof. For a multiple page piece requiring pagination, we suggest viewing a low resolution digital mock-up of the job. Contact us to find out what type of proof will be the best fit for your project!
