Pricing: Many of our clients prefer to have us custom quote a job, so they can incorporate existing artwork, or additional colors of printing on the inside of the card, or to have cards scored but not printed so they can be run though your laser printer for custom messages, etc.

Art Fees: If you already have custom art of your business by Maggie LaNoue, there is no art charge with card orders (unless you have changes to the art, such as winterization, colorizing, etc.) Minimum fee for these changes is $150. No original artwork is included with updated art. See examples of winterization on the previous page. If you do not currently have art by Albion Design/Maggie LaNoue, you can use other art you have, photographs, or commission a new scene from Albion Design featuring your business.

Q. I will be needing some Christmas cards printed up with a specific card design with the company logo imprinted into the design. is that something you can do?
A.That is exactly what we do. We need to know the quantity first, (an estimate is OK) then we will recommend different paper choices. Please let us know your business name and location too. 

Q. What is a proof?
A. A proof is an example from the printer of what your new card will look like. Black and white cards get blue-line prints, color cards get match proofs or rainbow proofs. The paper on the proof does not match the paper the cards will be printed on. A proof needs to be approved by the customer and an approval signed before printing may proceed. Long before we create a proof, we develop initial concepts for the cards that are approved in each stage.
