We require artwork with all quote requests because accurate print pricing depends on reviewing file setup, production compatibility, sizing, colors, finishing requirements, bleed, and prepress issues before estimating production costs.
We require artwork with all quote requests so our team can accurately evaluate your project, identify production requirements, and provide the most precise pricing possible.
We can sometimes provide general budget guidance, but official quotes require artwork review to properly assess sizing, bleed, colors, finishing, quantities, and production compatibility.
Once your quote is approved, your artwork is already attached to the project in our workflow system, allowing our team to move into production faster without delays tracking down files later.
With many active projects moving through production daily, requiring artwork upfront helps Minuteman Press San Antonio stay organized, reduce bottlenecks, minimize errors, and maintain fast turnaround times.
One benefit of submitting artwork early is that our team can often identify setup problems before production begins, helping prevent delays, reprints, or quality concerns later.
