There is no difference in cost for a copy vs. a print.

Anaconda Printing uses a Xerox 1000i high-quality digital laser printer with a maximum paper size of 13”x19”. Digital printing is a four-color printing process. Four colors – cyan, magenta, yellow, and black – are printed in tiny dots that when visually mixed together, create various colors. When using a printing press (ie. offset printing), the desired print image is burned onto a plate and is then transferred (or offset) from the plate to a rubber blanket, and then to the printing surface.

RGB stands for three primary colors of light – Red, Green and Blue. Computer monitors use combinations of these three colors to achieve an image on screen. CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black, which are used in the printing process. These four colors are printed in tiny dots that when visually mixed together, create various colors. Colors created without screens or dots, such as those found in the Pantone Matching System®, are referred to in the industry as spot or solid colors. From a palette of 14 basic colors, each of the spot colors in the Pantone Matching System is mixed according to its own unique ink mixing formula developed by Pantone.

Bleed is a printing term that refers to printing that goes beyond the edge of a sheet after trimming. If you desire your finished print to have any image or background color printed to the edge of the paper, you will need at least 1/8″ of extra image beyond the edge of your document. Prints without a bleed will have a small white border around the outside edge

An image will print pixelated when its resolution is low, or the image is enlarged significantly resulting in loss of quality. Resolution (or dpi) is the term used to describe the number of dots, or pixels, per inch used to display an image. Higher resolutions mean that more pixels are used to create the image, resulting in a crisper, cleaner image. As a general guideline, 300 dpi is a sufficient resolution for most print materials.

We have the capability to print large and small jobs. Whether you want 2 prints or 20,000 we work with you to get your job done right and on time.

Digital files must be submitted at the size of desired output. Set your document page size to match the actual print size in your layout program (Publisher, Indesign, etc.) When designing oversize prints, you can set your document size to 50% of the desire output size (ex. 24×36 print size = 12×18 document size)

(or “DPI”) is the term used to describe the number of dots, or pixels, per inch used to display an image or file. Higher resolution means that more pixels are used to create the image, resulting in a crisper, cleaner image. An image will print pixelated when its resolution is low, or the image is enlarged significantly resulting in loss of quality. As a general guideline, 300 dpi is a sufficient resolution for most printed materials.

Make sure your document is set to CMYK Color Mode.

Why CMYK? Digital printers use combinations of four toner colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Keyline Black) to achieve print on paper. Attempting to print files that are in RGB can cause color matching issues.

RGB: Any pictures or files that are submitted in RGB color mode must be converted to CMYK prior to printing. RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is intended for screen-viewing only. There are RGB color combinations (particularly very bright colors) that cannot be reproduced using CMYK process.

Pantone Swatches: Because digital printers use a four-color process, they are not able to match Pantone colors. Please let us know if color matching is an issue and we will make every effort to match Pantone colors as close as possible.
