Frequently asked questions
Clear answers on quotes, artwork, timing and print services.
What can D-Print produce?
Packaging, labels, business stationery, self-published books, brochures, flyers, signage, displays and promotional products. Explore printed products or ask about a specific job.
How do I get a quote?
Tell us the product, quantity, finished size, artwork status, deadline and delivery postcode. If you do not know the specifications, explain what the item is for. Send a quote enquiry.
How quickly will I receive a quote?
We aim to respond within 24 hours; complex products may take up to 48 hours. Tell us if the request is urgent.
What is the turnaround time?
Simple print-and-trim jobs typically take 24–48 hours after artwork approval. Binding, laminating, foiling and other finishing add time. Tell us your deadline so we can confirm production and delivery timing for your job.
Can you check or fix my artwork?
Yes. Send the files for review. Basic fixes are included in the quoted setup; work requiring more time is quoted before we start. We check size, bleed, colour, fonts and image resolution.
Which files should I send?
A print-ready PDF is a useful starting point. For artwork changes, include the original editable files if available. Keep book pages in reading order and confirm the finished size, page count and binding with David.
What are bleed, trim and safe margins?
Trim marks identify the finished edge. Bleed extends backgrounds beyond that edge to avoid white slivers when cutting. Keep important text and logos safely inside the trim. Ask for the template and bleed requirements for your product.
Why do colours look different on screen?
Screens use RGB light; most full-colour print uses CMYK inks. Paper, ink and viewing conditions also affect colour. Tell us about brand colours or Pantone references before production so we can agree on the appropriate proofing and print method.
Should I use a vector logo or an image?
Vector logos can scale without losing sharpness. Photos use pixels, so enlarging them reduces their effective resolution. Send the original logo or highest-resolution image you have; we can check whether it suits the print size.
Can you help with packaging and labels?
Yes. We advise on cartons, sleeves, flexible packaging, labels and cutting formes. The right material, adhesive and finish depend on the product, surface and conditions of use.
Do you work with businesses outside the Central Coast?
Yes. David is based on the Central Coast and works with businesses across Australia. Include the delivery postcode and any time-critical requirements in your enquiry.
What is online print management?
It helps teams order approved branded print from different locations. Setup is free, and the service includes print-ready artwork support. See how online print management works.
Do you create interactive forms and personalised print?
