A familiar print story

Sound Familiar?

You know the purpose

Maybe you need something to hand out at a trade show, mail to a neighborhood, leave behind after a meeting, or help customers understand your business.

You know why you need it.

Then come the choices

But should you order a postcard or a flyer? A brochure or a rack card?

Then you find yourself scrolling through hundreds of products across multiple print websites, trying to figure out:

What size? What paper?
Matte or gloss? How many copies?

All the while, you simply need someone to help you answer one question:

What's the right print solution for what I'm trying to accomplish?

The box arrives

So you do your best. You upload your design, choose a quantity, select the paper, pick a finish, approve the order, and wait.

Days later, the box arrives.

And it isn't quite what you expected.

Now you haven't just spent time and money on the wrong thing.

You have a pile of printed regret to recycle.

We've heard this story too many times.

The reality is:

You know what you need your print to do.

You shouldn't have to become a print expert to make it happen.

Our philosophy

Start With the Purpose,
Not the Product.

Purposeful Print starts with a conversation.

Before we talk about paper, size, finish, quantity, or even which product to print, we want to understand what you're trying to accomplish.

  • Who are you trying to reach?
  • What do you want them to understand?
  • What should they remember?
  • What would you like them to do next?
  • How will the printed piece actually be used or distributed?

Once we understand the purpose, we can help you determine what makes sense for the job—from the right format and size to the paper, finish, quantity, and other production details.

Sometimes that means helping you refine the idea you already have.

Sometimes it means suggesting a different print solution altogether.

And sometimes it means simply confirming:

Yes. What you have in mind makes sense. Let's make it happen.

A good print decision starts before the file reaches the press.

That is what we mean by Purposeful Print:

Every printed piece should have a clearly understood job before production begins.

Why us

Print-Ready Is Not Necessarily
Purpose-Ready.

A file can be perfectly prepared for production and still fail the job it was created to do.

The dimensions may be correct.
The resolution may be high enough.
The bleed may be set properly.
The colors may print beautifully.

But what if the phone number is difficult to read?
What if the QR code does not work?
What if the most important message gets lost?
What if the piece looks polished, but does not clearly tell the reader what to do next?

At Forget Me Not Studios, we believe a printed piece deserves two kinds of attention before it goes into production.

01

Production Quality

Will it print correctly?

We look at the details that affect how the finished piece is physically produced—such as size, resolution, bleed, file setup, color, stock, finish, and trimming.

02

Purpose Quality

Will it work the way it is supposed to?

We also look at the piece through the eyes of the person receiving it.

  • Is the message clear?
  • Is the important information easy to find?
  • Does the design support the business?
  • Are the contact details correct?
  • Will the reader know what to do next?
  • Is the format appropriate for how the piece will actually be used?

Because a beautifully printed piece that does not communicate clearly is still an expensive mistake.

Production Quality

helps make sure it prints right.

Purpose Quality

helps make sure it works right.

That is why we do not simply ask:

“Is your file ready to print?”versus“Is your piece ready to go to work for your business?”

How it works

From Purpose to Print

You don't need to have everything figured out before you contact us.

Start with what you know: what you're trying to accomplish, who you're trying to reach, what you need the piece to do, and when you need it.

We'll help you work through the rest.

1

Tell Us What You're Trying to Accomplish

Share your idea, your goal, and anything you already know about the project.

You may already know exactly what you want printed—or you may only know what you need the finished piece to accomplish.

Either is a perfectly good place to start.

2

We'll Help You Find the Right Print Solution

We'll talk through the format, size, quantity, paper, finish, and other details that matter for your project.

If the solution you already have in mind makes sense, we'll help you move it forward.

If another option may serve your purpose better, we'll explain why.

3

Make Sure the Piece Is Ready to Go to Work

Before production, we'll look at both the Production Quality and Purpose Quality of the piece.

The goal is not simply to get a file through the printer.

It's to help make sure the finished piece is something you'll feel confident putting into the hands of the people you want to reach.

4

Bring It to Life

Once the project is ready, we'll move it into production and help turn the idea on your screen into something tangible you can actually put to work for your business.

A Few Questions You May Have

Do I have to buy something if I talk with you?+

No. There is no obligation to purchase anything from Forget Me Not Studios.

The purpose of the conversation is to understand what you're trying to accomplish and help determine whether we have a print solution that makes sense for you.

If the answer is no—or you simply decide not to move forward—that's completely okay.

Do I need to know exactly what I want before contacting you?+

Not at all.

You may know the exact product, size, quantity, and specifications you need—or you may simply know what you're trying to accomplish.

Either is a perfectly good place to start.

Who designs my printed piece?+

If you already have finished artwork, we can start there.

If you need help creating or refining the design, let us know. We can discuss what level of design support your project needs before anything moves forward.

Do you charge for design work?+

It depends on the project and the amount of design work involved.

Simple adjustments and a completely new design are very different projects, so we'll let you know what design support is needed and whether there is an additional cost before you approve the project.

How long will it take to receive my order?+

Turnaround time depends on the print product, quantity, production requirements, and delivery method.

If you are working toward a specific event or deadline, tell us at the beginning of the conversation so we can help determine what is realistically possible.

We'll confirm the expected timeline before you place your order.

What if I'm not sure whether you print what I need?+

Ask us.

You don't need to search through a giant product catalog or know the printing-industry name for what you have in mind.

Tell us what you're trying to create and what you need it to do. If we can help, we'll figure out the appropriate print solution together.
