When it comes to professional printing services, clients often ask about the time it takes to complete their project. At Foote Printing, we understand the importance of delivering high-quality results within a reasonable timeframe. In this article, we'll break down the general timelines for different types of printing projects.

1.    Digital Printing: Smaller digital projects typically take 1-2 days to complete. This short timeframe is possible because digital prints come out dry and are immediately ready for cutting and folding.

2.    Offset Printing: Offset printing usually takes around 3-4 days for smaller projects, such as postcards or folded materials. Booklet jobs may require an additional day, especially for quantities over 5,000.

3.    Print and Mailing Projects: These types of projects generally take 7-10 working days to complete. This timeline includes the initial print processes, list processing, printing information on the products, sorting, and finally, delivery to the post office.

Please note that these timeframes start once the high-resolution PDF artwork is received and approved. Additionally, the actual time required for the project depends on the quantity and complexity of the job.

It's also interesting to note that some inks, such as blue, take longer to dry. This is a factor that has been historically recognized and can impact printing timelines.
