A proof is a sample of your project after all modifications have been made. It is your last chance to make sure the print job comes out the way you want. By carefully inspecting the proof, you can help ensure an accurate, flawless delivery of your print job. Any mistakes or changes that you do not point out in the proof, will not be Shamrock Printing’s responsibility.
Production Time will depend on the printing and bindery processes involved. Most items are competed in 5-6 business days. Note: we do not print on Holidays and Weekends.
ARTWORK: Most orders will not begin production until we receive the proof approval. If your artwork is not print ready, this will affect the turnaround time.
SHIPPING: Shipping/delivery is not included in our production time.

All of our full color printing uses process ink colors: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK).
RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue.
RGB is the color you see on your screen/monitor. CMYK is the ink color profile used in printing. If you create your art/design using RGB colors, your files will be converted to CMYK for printing. Please note that you may notice a slight color variation if you create your artwork using RGB colors.
Printers and monitors produce colors in different ways. Monitors use the RGB (red, green, blue) color model. Printers use the CMYK color model, which can reproduce most—but not all—of the colors in the RGB color model. Please note that any artwork using RGB colors will be converted to CMYK for printing.
The default paper stock for color printing is white, so it is typically unnecessary to use white ink.
A template is a file that will help demonstrate the layout of an item. It will include any bleeds, the proper margins, and lines for folding. To see our templates, go to Printing Templates
Vectors graphics are always crisp and clean. Vector image/graphics can be enlarged without losing image quality. A vector image/graphic is usually saved as EPS, SVG, AI or PDF.
Raster (or bitmap) graphics are made up of tiny squares called pixels. Once a raster graphic is created at a certain size, it can’t be made bigger without losing image quality. Raster graphics are saved as JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PSD and sometimes PDF.
