Telepathic printing. Human-approved proofs. Pick a format, make it yours, and send it to press — nothing runs until you sign off on what it will look like.
Six formats on one press path. Every spec below is confirmed against a real trade ladder, not estimated.
Business cards through presentation folders. Configured as a print job, priced at a published quantity break.
32pt uncoated block, colour painted onto the trimmed edge. Heavy, and obvious about it.
9 × 12in, 16pt coated, die-cut with two pockets. Ships flat and unassembled.
16pt coated stock, matte laminate, full colour both sides. The default hand-off.
16pt coated, UV cured, full colour both sides. Mailable as printed.
14pt coated, UV cured, scored and shipped flat. Folds to stand on a counter.
4 × 9in, 16pt coated, UV cured. Sized to the standard brochure rack.
Three ways in. All of them end at the same proof.
Configure the format first, then Ray Beam Studio opens with the trim, bleed, and safe area already set to what you picked.
Bring a PDF built to spec. Preflight tells you what it found before you pay, not after.
Every order keeps its configuration and its artwork. Reordering rebuilds the line exactly, including the stock and the finish.
Six stages. You are told which one your job is in, and the fourth one does not move without you.
Size, stock, finish, quantity, speed
Studio, your own file, or a saved design
Bleed, resolution, colour space, trim
Nothing prints without your approval
Commercial press, not a desktop machine
Tracked, with a delivery estimate
Every job is proofed after preflight. You approve it in writing before anything reaches a press. There is no automatic release.
Preflight is automatic; the judgement call is not. Low resolution, missing bleed, and content in the trim get flagged with what to do about it.
Production days are stated separately from transit days, because they are different problems and conflating them is how dates get missed.
The same people who set your job on press answer the email about it.
Caliper, coating, and edge treatment are the difference between print that gets kept and print that gets binned. The catalogue is built around the ones that survive being handled.
Stiff enough that the corners do not curl in a jacket pocket, thin enough to carry a hundred.
A single block, not two sheets laminated. The edge is wide enough to be a design surface.
Light-cured on press rather than laid on as a film. On a counter wiped twice a shift, that is a year against a fortnight.
Put your team on one account with roles, per-person spending limits, and an approval queue that actually blocks an order rather than emailing about it.
Buyer, approver, administrator
Per person, per period
Over limit routes to sign-off
Ask the desk to price a run
A sample pack carries every stock and every finish in the catalogue, printed on the press your job would run on.
