What is CMYK and why can’t I use RGB?
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) is the standard for full-colour printing. RGB is for screens. Files created in RGB must be converted to CMYK, which can cause colour shifts — so always design in CMYK where possible.
What is PMS (Pantone Matching System)?
PMS colours are standardised inks used for precise colour matching. Each colour has a unique code (e.g. PMS 485 Red). Choose 'C' for coated paper and 'U' for uncoated to ensure accuracy.
What does GSM mean?
GSM stands for grams per square metre — it’s how paper weight is measured. For example, standard office paper is around 80–90gsm, while postcards are often 300gsm or higher.
What kind of paper do you stock?
We carry a wide range of paper types including gloss, satin, and uncoated. Looking for something unique? We can source specialty stocks from Australian suppliers.
Can I provide my own paper?
Yes, as long as it’s compatible with our press. SRA3 (320 x 450mm) is the preferred size. We’ll happily test your stock to make sure it prints beautifully.
Can I print custom sizes?
Yes! You’re not limited to standard sizes. We can print almost any size that fits our press, and we’ll suggest the most cost-effective options for your needs.
