Digital Printing
Digital printing on Konica Minolta and Fuji J-Press systems provides fast, high-quality results for short runs and personalized variable data. Perfect for business cards, postcards, and short-run catalogs, this eco-friendly option reduces waste while maintaining professional-grade finishes and quick turnaround times.

Questions
What file formats do you accept for printing?
We prefer PDF files for their universal compatibility and print accuracy. Other accepted formats include EPS, TIFF, and Illustrator files, provided they meet our resolution and color mode requirements.
How do I prepare images for optimal print quality?
Save images at 300 dpi in CMYK color mode. Avoid low-resolution web graphics (72-96 dpi) to prevent pixelation. Convert text to outlines and embed all images for proper rendering.
What services does West Coast Graphics offer?
We provide offset and digital printing, bindery, variable data, UV coating, and online file transfers. Our full-service capabilities cover brochures, catalogs, direct mail, and custom promotional materials.
Why do printed colors differ from screen colors?
Monitors use RGB colors, while printers use CMYK. This causes some color shifts. Our Pantone Matching System and color management ensure consistency and accurate reproduction during print runs.
Can you assist with design and file preparation?
Yes, our Pre-Press Department offers guidance on file optimization, color correction, and format compatibility to ensure your project meets print specifications and achieves desired results.
How long does a typical print job take?
Turnaround depends on project complexity and volume. We prioritize efficiency and provide estimated timelines during order placement, with options for expedited processing if needed.
