NOTES:

Illustrator files with embedded photos can be problematic. It is best to link photos, not imbed them. Also more than 2 or 3 raster files in a vector file can cause problems. If your layout has a number of raster images, the whole layout should be transferred to Photoshop so it is all raster.

PDF files will print, but cannot be edited. We often make adjustments to customer files to ensure they print well.

Quark Express files with raster images that were color edited in Quark print with poor color.


About Our Printing
All prices based on normal production time of 10 business days and the customer supplying the digital file in compatible formats ready to print. Expedited or rushed production may incur extra costs. Close color matching to customer's proof or specified colors. CMYK color gamut cannot provide a precise match for PMS colors. Colors are tested before printing to match to your proof or specified expectations, but exact color matches are not promised. Laminate included, except where noted. We can accomodate the measurements of your display system. The dimensions shown on our price list are to exact measurements of the display systems we sell.


We pride ourselves on the quality of all our printing. A number of large and small companies as well as graphic designers across the country count on Ocean Color to deliver the quality of work they rely on. Delivering quality work is not simply a matter of good equipment and the best materials. It is also the extra effort we make to test and adjust colors to get the best results. While we can't guarantee exact color matches in every case, we make every effort to ensure that you get the colors you and your designer want and expect.


We print in full-color from customer-supplied digital files onto paper or polyester white film using digital inkjet printing which is, unless otherwise noted, protected with a textured laminate (not gloss) that preserves rich color
and deep blacks with a minimum of glare.



Advertising, Marketing, Trade Shows, Conventions, Conferences, Presentations

 banners

posters

murals

We produce banners, posters, and murals
from digital files supplied by the customer on DVD or CD.

The price schedules on our site are based on printing
from computer-prepared graphics that are ready to print.

Please include a paper proof (hard copy) so we can know
what colors you are expecting to see.


GRAPHICS DESIGN
We are also a design studio. We can create your graphics as well as produce them.
If your graphics need editing our fee is $75 per hour.

Our Graphic Production Service

As noted, our prices can include printing, mounting and laminating, unless otherwise noted. Printing prices are based on receiving prepared artwork from you or your designer in digital form.

Customer - Supplied Digital File

However, we can work with anything you provide ... from an idea sketched on a napkin to snapshots to lengthy written instructions. We provide creative design services. There are additional charges to prepare your poster when we do not receive a ready-to-print computer file. However, we make every effort to keep these charges reasonable. And of course you receive an estimate beforehand.		 Our Graphic Design Service

We are a full-service photography and design studio with over 30 years professional experience. Time and overal cost estimates are provided for your approval before the work starts.While we work very hard to make every image, design, or photo as appealing as possible, we also believe that in exhibit design, simple designs are usually the most effective. Complex designs tend to be lost in a trade show or convention.

SAMPLES AND IDEAS

We also believe that the best designs are a team effort. We welcome your ideas, your marketing objectives, and your feedback. In the end it will be the design that you want, not something creative for our portfolio.
