I wanted to thank you for printing and shipping those rack cards out to me so quickly. They turned out beautifully (as I expected and knew they would).
Thank you! I have found you and your colleagues to be prompt, courteous, and helpful throughout this process! Thanks!
Pantone ink colors are achieved by mixing designated inks together (similar to paint). Your proof is printed with a different process using a digital color machine. These proofs are designed to be checked for spelling, information correctness, size and placement; not exact color matching. Color matching can only be done with a Pantone swatch book.
Where are your price breaks?We have no set price breaks. As a general rule of thumb, with every hundred extra you order, your per piece price will be less. The more you get, the less you pay.
What types of electronic files can you take?We support both Mac and PC files, and while we take just about any type of file you can think of, here is a sampling of the most common file types:
Adobe Acrobat (PDFs)
Microsoft Publisher
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Power Point
Microsoft Word
Quark XPress
Adobe PageMaker
Adobe InDesign
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Photoshop
Corel Draw
Freehand
Image Files (TIFF, EPS, JPG, JPEG, GIF, etc.)
If you don’t see your program or file type listed above, contact us; we usually have it.
What is the minimum quantity I can order?One. We have a wide array of equipment designed to meet all of your needs, from one copy to several thousand.
I need to design a direct mail piece. I have no idea where to begin and what the post office needs. Can you help with this?Direct mail is a very effective marketing tool. Our professionals can help you design the artwork, size, colors, quantities and paper to maximize the value of your piece. We can even acquire a mailing list, address your pieces, and take them to the post office.
I just received a quote from another printing company and they are quoting me a 10% over/under charge. What does that mean, and do you have similar charges?While 10% over/under charges may be common in the printing industry, we do NOT use them. They allow the printing company to deliver anywhere from 10% under the quantity you ordered to 10% over the quantity you ordered, and charge you accordingly. Chances are your job will either cost more than you expected, or you won’t receive the quantity you need. In either event, you can see why this practice does not meet our exacting standards of service.
I have heard a lot about digital printing. Which is better, digital or traditional offset printing, and how do I know which one to choose?At Mingo, we offer both services. There are many advantages to both types of printing, and we will ensure your job is produced in the most efficient manner possible based on your needs. Of course if you have a preference, just tell us and we’ll be happy to print however you like.
