FAQs

A rasterized images such as .JPGs and .PNGs. are made up of millions of little dots like in a photograph. With a rasterized image, because each pixel contains a finite amount of data or information, the image can only get so large before it looks pixelated and you can see the pixel (data container) itself. A Vector image uses math based algorithms to produce the art so that no matter what size you scale the image to it won’t look blurry or distort. Logos should always be a vector image and are usually in an .ai, .eps or .pdf (if saved from a vector origin file) format. Photographs (Rasterized images) should be at 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch) and saved as .jpg/.jpeg, .psd, .png, .tiff, .bmp or .gif. For more detailed information on artwork, raster or vector based files see our artwork guidelines!

CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) is used in printing while RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is used for digital. The biggest difference is that digital uses colored lights which mix differently than ink. If your files are formatted for RGB and are getting printed the colors will print several shades different. Our software has RGB to CMYK conversion values however it is worth noting we always recommend samples for any RGB converted values to ensure colors align with your expectations.

In most cases, we operate with a 5-10 business days turnaround time from proof approvals and payment being received to project completion. That said, we'll also do everything in our power to hit your deadline, no matter how tight it is. In some cases, expedite fees will be applied if you need to cut ahead in production to hit your deadline!

Site surveys are a critical part of ensuring you get the best quality and professional finished product. A site survey very simply is a formal surveying from our team here at Ink Monstr™ to ensure proper dimensions are used for quoting as well as design and proofing our your final product. Without a site survey there are many variables that are unknown which can impact the quality of the final product so we always recommend scheduling a formal site survey for applicable projects. There can sometimes be costs associated for site surveys and these can have a broad range depending on time, travel and equipment required to complete a proper site survey but it's worth the investment and peace of mind. Not to mention you're protected from reprint costs due to measurement miscalculations if we do a formal site survey. You can provide your own dimensions of course, but in some scenarios and projects this won't suffice without a proper site survey.

Yes we do. For orders under $2,500 there will be a sample fee for any requested samples. Samples are encouraged when files have specific Pantone codes, RGB color conversion, difficult to hit colors like gold, or any white ink print applications.

A die cut sticker is a sticker that follows the contour or shape of the artwork being produced. We differentiate between simple shapes (circles, ovals and rectangles) and a die cut which would be more abstract or cutting around a logo (like ours!). For more information on our sticker cut styles, see our sticker cut sheet resource!
