Dover to Miami – Artwork to Delivery in 3 Days
Monday, November 03, 2008
We were asked by one of our major design agency customers to undertake an extremely time sensitive piece of print for one of their top global clients.
The catch...artwork for the 16 page + cover could not be available until 9am Monday morning and although only 1,000 copies, the printed brochure had to be in Miami in time for an exhibition on the Thursday! What’s more the material specified meant the ink would normally need 48 hours drying time!
We did it! How?
