Most customers use our free on-line design tool to create their graphics. Customer who have contracted with a graphic artist typically upload artwork that you or someone else has created using a commercial design program such as Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop into a blank canvas.

All of our products are printed "full-color", commonly called a four-color process. This means that we use cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink to create just about every color in the rainbow similar to your desktop color printer, even black and white designs. We do not offer PMS color matching.

There are two different aspects to matching a proof - color and content.

Color
The proof that you see on-screen will be a close approximation to the final colors on your printed product but because of differences in the way monitors display color and are calibrated it will not be an exact match. We aim for accurate color but render them so as to achieve vibrant and eye catching

Content
The content refers to the text, shapes, graphics and placement of the elements on your design. The content of your sign will match the content of the proof you see on-screen, adjusting for slight trim variations in manufacturing.

When selecting your product to design, all available options are presented before you can customize a product. We offer optional hardware that can used for different products on our hardware page.

When you add your item to your Shopping Cart or your Saved Items, you'll see a recap of the details on the item page, including all of the Options that you've selected.

On the final Checkout page, all of the items in your Shopping Cart are listed along with any options you've selected. Please be sure to review your items before finalizing your purchase. If you'd like to add an option to your order after you've placed it, please contact our customer service department at support@ready2print.com or give us a call at (602) 892-4786.

The cost of the products you order is based on several factors - the size, quantity, material and options.

In general, the larger a printed product, the more it will cost. As for quantity, the more of a given product that we produce at one time, the less it costs us to produce it - and we pass that savings along to you. Some materials cost us more to buy from the manufacturers than others, so that will affect the cost. Many products offer the opportunity to add Options - such as grommets, stands, rope, etc. Different options have different costs and will affect the overall cost of the product.

Some items also offer the opportunity to select either a Standard Production Time or an Expedited Production time. If you'd like us to rush or expedite your order, we're happy to do so, but we have to charge a little bit more.

Regulations relating to campaign disclosures vary from state to state. We recommend that you check with your Secretary of State's office to find out if there are any disclaimer requirements in your state.

In the end - it may be better to be safe than sorry. You can always add a small disclaimer in the lower corner of your sign indicated who has paid for it. It can be small and unobtrusive and is easy to add in Design Central.

Sign ordinances are typically regulated on a town, city or county basis. We recommend that you check with your local governing authority to find out how many weeks or months before an election you can begin posting signs. But remember, you have a constitutionally protected right to freedom of political speech - which extends to displaying signs in support of your political cause. Don't forgo your rights!
