Frequently Asked Questions
OvernightPrints offers a FAQ ( Frequently Asked Questions ) page to help understand some of the common problems and concerns customers have regarding the full-colour printing process, turnaround time, and payment questions.

In this FAQ you will find information about business card printing, letterhead printing, brochure printing, envelope printing and postcard printing. For example, this page explains that when printing letterhead and envelopes, we offer full bleed colour on one side. When printing postcards, business cards, brochures, and flyers, however, you have the option of full colour on both sides.

A colour guide is also available to help you determine the proper CMYK values to assign your business cards in order to achieve the colour you want. Although our discount printing prices are very reasonable, customers who are interested in our reseller and affiliate programs can find information on them here too.

We also answer questions regarding full-colour postcard printing, brochure/flyer orientation and folding, orientation before printing for all products, 4-colour postcards, business cards, and brochures/flyer, as well as questions on such topics as turnaround times and delivery.

Although you have many options to choose from when it comes to printing your postcards and business cards, this page will explain why OvernightPrints is the best choice for you!

What is partial coating (Spot UV)? How can I order partial coating?

What is partial coating (Spot UV)?

Spot UV allows you to put Highgloss UV Coating on some parts of the cards while leaving other parts uncoated. For instance, you are able to apply glossy coating to a company logo, part of a picture or text and leave the rest of the card in a matte finish. This gives your card a special high quality outfit. Partial coating makes sense for:
  • 1. Text with an adequate font size or Logos with a diameter over 1cm.
  • 2. Partial Coating on a dark background.

Partial coating needs to be defined for each side of a card, in form of an image file that only contains black and white. The black pixels correspond to coated regions. The Spot UV files have to be created according to our file specs (see File Help).

How can I order partial coating?

OvernightPrints offers you three options for ordering partial coating:
  • 1. You give us a description of the logo or image parts that should be coated and we will create the Spot UV files for you. This service will be charged by OvernightPrints with a flat fee of 4.58€ incl. VAT. Should the work of creating the files be more complex and time consuming, so the actual cost would be higher than the flat fee, you will of course be informed first before we start creating the files.
  • 2. You create the Spot UV files on your own according to the instructions below and complete the order as described (either uploading the files directly or after completing the order process).
  • 3. You select one of our general spot templates which are offered as part of the ordering process when you select the partial coating option (along with the option to upload your own file or have us create the file for you as mentioned under 1. and 2.).

In order to place an order with Spot UV, you will need to do the following:

1. Upload a finished design through our website
2. Once on the approval page, you have to click on the link "Add Partial Coating" and you will be given the option to upload your Spot UV files right away or to upload the files at a later point. If you decide to upload the Spot UV files right away, the Spot UV process will be complete.
3. If you have decided to upload the Spot UV files at a later point, your order will be automatically be put on hold after order completion, waiting for you to upload the Spot UV files. After you have uploaded all the files, you have to remove the hold status yourself so that the order can be forwarded to printing.

Create a Spot UV-File:
1. Open the file in Photoshop.
2. If you want to coat lighter areas of your card or have more control over the coated regions follow these steps, otherwise continue to step 3.
  • a. Select areas to be coated. There are a few way to do this: use the Marquee Tool if you would like to select a rectangle or a circle, use the Magic Wand Tool if you would like to select a colour, or use the Lasso Tool if it is a complex shape you want to select. Remember to hold the Shift key to add more areas to your selection.
  • b. Create a New Layer.
  • c. Use the Paint Bucket Tool to make all the selected areas black on the new layer.
  • d. Turn off the Background Layer by clicking on the eye next to the Background Layer in the Layer window.
  • e. Make sure all areas desired to be coated are black.
  • f. Click Layers, then Flatten Image.
  • g. Select OK when asked if you want to discard hidden layers.

3. Convert your file to Grayscale (Image/Mode/Grayscale) Click OK to discarding information
4. Convert your file to Bitmap (Image/Mode/Bitmap) and select 50% Threshold for method and 300 pixels/inch (dpi) for resolution.
** Remember that all areas that are black will be coated and all areas that are white will be uncoated. **
5. Save as a tiff file. For compression choose either "lzw" or no compression at all.

How do I order?
Overnight Prints now offers two different options to place your order. You are able to use our Classic Designer, or you can create the design using any of the programs listed on our FILE HELP page to create the design to your liking for upload submission.

If you are having problems with our Classic Online Designer, you will need to delete your cookies so information from other sites does not interfere with our system. For file submission via upload, we ask the files to be designed and saved in CYMK. If you save your files in any other colour mode they will be converted into CMYK mode automatically before printing. This may lead to colour variations.

Please keep in mind that our new Interactive Designer is new. We do not recommend that you solely rely on this feature to create your design because it is still a a new option. If you do experience difficulties with this designer please contact us at service@overnightprints.eu or .

As we are an online company, all orders must be placed and paid through our website. There are three ways to place orders with us. You can either create a card using our online designers, or you can create a card using your own design program and upload it to our website for ordering.

To use the online designer, you would simply click "PostCards starting at €....","Business Cards starting at €....", "Letterhead starting at €...." or "Brochures/Flyer starting at €....". You would then click the option that says "Classic Online Designer" or "New Interactive Designer". From there you can select a background from our premade templates, add text and images, select your quantity, add the Gloss Coating, add rounded corners if desired, and obtain shipping prices. The website will guide you completely through the checkout process.

To create a card outside of our website and upload it to our website, we ask that you follow the directions given under our "File Help" tab on our website. Once you have created the card file to our specs listed in our File Help tab, you would simply upload your file for ordering. You can do so by following the steps below.

1. Save the file(s) to your My Documents.
2. Go to our website, www.overnightprints.de.
3. Click on the heading for the product you would like to order (ie: "Business Cards Starting at €....")
4. Click on "Upload Design"
5. Browse for the front (and back if you have one) of your card. Once the file is in the appropriate box, front and back, select "Upload" From there, the website will guide you through the uploading process.

Once your order is completed, you have the ability to place your order on hold, edit your order, track your order and cancel your order as long as it has not yet printed. Simply log onto MY ORDERS located on the top right hand side of our website with your invoice and email address and select the option that is needed. Be sure to write down your order number prior to completing your order.
What causes colour drift and colour out of spec?
The accuracy limitations of CMYK printing are that the results can vary, sometimes greatly, depending on the range, how it is calibrated, and the particular colour you are trying to print. Even the results from different digital printers or presses can vary, so colour accuracy may be an issue, particularly if you're printing items at different times or with different printers. There are also colours that cannot be reproduced using the CMYK process - such as metallics and very bright colours. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you don't use spot colours in your document. Inevitably, the colours shift when converted to CMYK, and this could be a cause of the colour out of spec you're experiencing. A good idea for designers might be to go into the Pantone Process Book and pick a process colour that's as close to the spot colour as possible, when choosing to use a four-colour printer. Select a colour that can be printed in CMYK. Use the process colour instead; the colour is much more likely to print.
What if I am unsatisfied with the product I received?
OvernightPrints guarantees a No-Risk Satisfaction Guarantee

Overnight Prints promises to do all to get your complete satisfaction. If there is a reason for dissatisfaction at any time, we'll reprint your product for free or you'll receive a voucher or a discount for your next order at Overnight Prints. In order to constantly improve and check our quality, we kindly ask you to please send us back 4-8 samples of the product in an envelope before we start the compensation process.

Please be aware that due to the nature of four-colour printing, we cannot print every colour available on a computer monitor. We do not colour match; instead, we offer the industry standard in pleasing colour and will make any reasonable adjustments to help correct submitted files. If Overnight Prints cannot correct the file or reprint to pleasing colour standards, then we will issue an RMA and refund the purchase price. Because we want to constantly increase our quality level, we have this basic condition for refunds, that the complete product has to be send back to Overnight Prints.

If an issue arises with the printing quality of your product, please contact our Customer Service department at or send an Email to service@overnightprints.eu.

Overnight Prints will correct improper cutting, colour drift, printing delays and printing quality. The customer should correct files without full bleed or with incorrect colour selection, incorrect resolution, incorrect file dimensions, visible crop marks, incorrect card orientation, and spelling or grammar errors. You can always contact our file support department if you are unable to correct these issues yourself. They will do their best to guide you to a positive result.

Before Printing it may be beneficial to read some of our guides. Below are links to useful information.
GUIDELINES
CARD ORIENTATION
COMMON MISTAKES
Shipping information for letters and postcards
Does Overnight Prints print and ship everyday?
We print and ship Monday through Friday, excluding Public Holidays in Germany.
Why isn't my file uploading?
Our uploader supports files with the following extensions: JPG, PDF, TIFF, EPS, AI, PSD, GIF, PNG, BMP, DOC, PPT, ODT, ODG, SXD, ODP, ODS, XLS, RTF, EMF and WMF.
All other file formats cannot be processed, that includes Corel Draw files, Adobe InDesign files and Microsoft Publisher files. Please export to PDF when using one of these programs.

Please only upload files that are not larger than 12 MB per side. Also make sure your files have the correct dimensions, files with extremely large dimensions cannot be processed.

If you are still having problems, confirm that Cookies and Javascript are enabled in your browser. If that does not help, we recommend the usage of a different browser (Firefox, Opera or Chrome).

If this fails to resolve the upload problem, you may email your files to service@overnightprints.eu for any file problems you are having. Subject the email to ATTN: File Support. Also give a short description about what kind of error you are getting when uploading. You will receive a response the next business day with adjusted files or how to adjust your files so you are able to upload the files onto our website to place your order. Overnight Prints does not place orders for customers. All orders must be placed online by the customer.
Does my custom design meet the specifications?
Uploaded files must fill the entire area to the full bleed dimensions. Please view our GUIDELINES. What you see on the preview is what will be printed. Please view our MOST COMMON MISTAKES on what is considered a correct upload versus an incorrect upload. Keep in mind the preview does not represent the actual size of the card after print.
Which possible reasons are there for colour deviation between monitor preview and print product?
Overnight Prints cannot guarantee that the colour of the print result will look identical to the onscreen preview on the customers monitor, as we are unable to influence any deviation caused by the customers monitor itself or its settings.

All files should be created, saved and uploaded in CMYK colour mode. It is also possible to upload files in RGB colour mode, but the customer needs to take into account that the necessary conversion to CMYK colour mode before printing can cause certain colours to shift and change.
Further information about the colour spaces is available under the link "RGB & CMYK" in our glossary on the right hand side of this page.

When you upload your files in CMYK colours, we advise using our colour profile to achieve a better colour accuracy. Overnight Prints uses the colour profile „US Sheetfed Coated V2“ for coated paper.

If the print result differs from the preview on your monitor, this is often caused by incorrect settings of the device. Should your images be darker in the print result than the online preview, it is possible that your monitor is set up too bright. In addition, incorrect settings for contrast and colours can also cause differences between monitor preview and print result. Only with a calibrated monitor it is possible to achieve an approximately colour-proof preview matching the print result.

Further reason for error is the use of RGB colours (only suitable for screen displays) or the use of spot colours (like Pantone, HKS or RAL) and other colour definitions. Printing is done in the smaller CMYK colour space. This colour space offers fewer colour grades for image reproduction. Because of this, RGB colours will lose luminance and saturation when converted to CMYK. The difference between these colour spaces is the type of colour mixture (i.e. how the colours are made up) : RGB creates colours in an additive process, CMYK uses a subtractive process.

Suggestion:

  • Calibrate your monitor.
  • Convert your files to CMYK-colour mode before uploading them.
  • Should you not have access to a calibrated monitor it is usually advisable to brighten files by 15-20%. Please note that this measure does not result in a guarantee for a colour-proof print result.
Do I receive proofs prior to print?
Overnight Prints does not send out hard copy proofs. All proofs are viewed online. What you see on the preview screen is what will be printed.
What files do we support?
We accept files with the following extensions: JPG, PDF, TIFF, EPS, AI, PSD, GIF, PNG, BMP, DOC, PPT, ODT, ODG, SXD, ODP, ODS, XLS, RTF, EMF and WMF.

TIFF files should only be compressed with LZW.

Losless JPGs or JPG2000 files are not supported.
Why aren't my fonts viewing correctly?
Depending on the program you are using, you must ensure all text and images are embeded or outlined. Sometimes a font cannot be embedded. If this happens, it is because of a non-registered font, or a preview only font. You will need to substitute the font if so.
Why does my paper curl when I print on it?
The paper is slightly wet due to the ink and water being applied during the printing process. It needs about 1-2 weeks to completely dry depending on humidity. In most cases it's usable out of the box, but in high humidity places it could take a few days.
What happens if my order is delayed?
Due to the high amount of orders we receive, some orders may experience delays occasionally. Simply email us at service@overnightprints.eu or call our existing queue to rectify the situation. Overnight Prints will gladly issue a credit towards a future order.
Do all orders have to be placed online?
Yes. Overnight Prints does not accept any walk-in or orders by mail. This includes cds with files, scanned images, or hard copy prints. All orders must be placed via our website. If design assistance is needed, please email the files or request to service@overnightprints.eu. Our representatives will contact you promptly and will guide you to a sucessful file for uploading on Overnight Prints.

What are the file specifications I should design to?
For better understanding of our cutting marks and safe zones please click at Guidelines & Cutting Explained.
At Overnight Prints we allow printing to the edge of the products and we take pride in having the tightest cutting margins available. These margins are 1,61mm and are named full-bleed (green line) and safe zone (red line).

Trim Marks (Blue Line)
The product will be cut on the trim mark (blue line), however the cut may shift up to 1mm in any direction. Due to this shift Overnight Prints does not recommend borders of any type.

Full Bleed (Green Line)
If you wish to have coloured backgrounds or images continue to the edge of the product they must continue past the trim marks to the full bleed margin. If they do not continue to the full bleed margin you most likely will end up with white strips along the edge of the product due to our cutting tolerance.

Safe Zone (Red Line)
Text or any other elements you don't want to be trimmed off must be placed within the safe zone. If they are placed directly next to the trim mark and the cutting is off but within tolerance, the text will be chopped off. Due to our cutting process and tolerance we do not recommend borders of any kind. By our policy we are protected to cut 1,61mm outside or inside the Trim Marks.
