Cutting & Trimming FAQ
Know the practical limits before finishing.
Can Phoenix finish documents printed elsewhere?+
Possibly, after inspection. Size, material, condition, ink stability, margins and replaceability must suit the selected process.
Can it be completed the same day?+
Some straightforward jobs may qualify. Timing depends on quantity, setup, material, equipment availability and the current queue.
Should I approve a sample?+
For repeated, quantity or higher-risk work, one sample or an exact specification should be approved before the remainder is completed.
What details should I send for a quote?+
Send the finished size, quantity, page count where relevant, material, required method and collection deadline. Photographs can help with preliminary guidance.
