How much does my printing project cost?

With such a wide range of capabilities, paper availability, and technologies, it is difficult for us to produce an easy to use price list. Kennedy Printing takes great pride in offering our customers EXACTLY what they want, not just the standard sizes and materials. So each job is quoted to the specifications as defined by our customers. See our get a quote section to receive your custom quote.

Why should I care so much about color control?

In most cases, once you leave your potential customer, the only thing left in their hands for them to remember you is your literature. The quality of your literature can relay the quality of service or product you provide. Poor quality literature can imply substandard products or services. Leave your best impression behind with a silent sales tool. Leave great looking literature.

What resolution should I save my pictures and graphics?

The resolution should be 300 dpi. Pictures and graphics found on the internet are typically 72 dpi. Avoid using these graphics, as they will appear pixilated or fuzzy in the final product. Also note, save images in CMYK mode and not RGB. RGB images will not print properly.

Why do I need a proof?

A proof is your only opportunity to see a printed copy or PDF after pre-press has processed your file. You must make sure the proof has everything on it, in the right place, and in the right color. Our pressmen are trained to make sure your print project matches the proof as closely as possible.

Why does my proof look different than my screen and my laser printout?

Laser printers and computer monitors produce colors differently than printing presses. Printers and monitors produce color in the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color spectrum. Printing presses produce color using the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) color spectrum. The RGB spectrum is wider than the CMYK spectrum causing some colors (most notably red) to be a little less vibrant than expected. In some cases this can be alleviated using a fifth color unit and selecting a replacement ink color from the PMS color chart.

Is white a color?

Usually not. White is the color of the paper, and is showing due to a lack of ink in that particular area. However, when printing on color paper, white ink can be used.
