How much do you pay for design?

Most of us are not 100% sure about what we want when we go to a printer. Especially if we need a layout done or some design work. How much do they charge you for the layout? Can you make changes? How much are the changes? Most places have a limit on how many changes they will do for you without charging you an arm and a leg.

At Sunset, we do things a little different. We only charge you $1 per minute. YUP! So let's say you make 10 changes and it takes 3 minutes per change, that is a total of 30 minutes and your charge is only $30 for the changes! If your design and layout only takes 15 minutes, then your charge is $15.

I almost forgot the best part, the turn-around time. Between 6 and 24 hours for most projects!! All of this backed by over 30 years of publishing and design expertise......

Did you know we have a pick up location for after hours? A lot of times clients will need to pick up a job after we close. We have a place in Manhattan Beach where jobs can be picked up after 5:30pm. Contact us for details.

Designing Logos

The images on a monitor are bright and colorful but don't let that sway you when making a final choice on logo designs. Images on the screen will NEVER look the same when printed. It has to do with the colors used to produce the images and the quality. Printed colors ALWAYS look flatter and dull compared to color on the screen. Also, the quality needed for a web image is far less than needed for actual printing.

Rule#1 when designing a logo is to make it large enough for a shirt at 300 dots per inch. From there it can be scaled down to fit any medium, web, tv, screen printing or commercial printing. For anything other than the web, be sure those images are CMYK and not RGB. And of course if color is important, don't base your decision on what you see on the screen.

Too busy to schedule your mailings?

As a business owner or self-employed it is vital to market yourself to the public. There are 2 keys to successful marketing, #1 market often, #2 be consistent. However it is not always easy to keep going to the printer every time you need to mail out another piece. One solution is to setup a standard newsletter that goes out each month. This newsletter will help brand you and keep you relevant. You can email the changes, approve a proof online and get back to doing what you do best!

Call or email us today and find out how we can easily help you stay in front of the crowd and in front of your prospects.
