What’s the difference between paper stock and card/cover stock?

Paper products are classified by weight. Paper stock typically runs between 60 to 120 grams per square metre (gsm), and anything heavier is considered cardstock: the kind of paper you see used for business cards, postcards, etc.

What’s the difference between glossy and matte paper stock?

Coated paper products are typically available in two finishes: glossy, which is shiny and smooth, and matte, which is flat and lustreless. Coated glossy papers reflect light evenly, and are a classic choice if you want your colours and designs to really pop. Matte papers are sophisticated and trendy, and make a great first impression.

What colour formats can I work with?

Our system supports RGB (red, green blue) and CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow black) colourways for four-colour digital print.

What resolution can I expect for the final product files?

The resolution for your PDF design file is 300dpi, or standard professional print resolution.

What printing method does Rayacom use?

Rayacom utilizes offset printing, which provides the highest quality of print for both text and images.

What payment options does Rayacom accept?

We accept Visa and Mastercard.

How do deposits work?

Any deposits placed with Rayacom are held for 90 days. After 90 days, the deposit is considered null.

Does Rayacom offer refunds?

Rayacom offers refunds in the form of in-house credit towards your next printing project.

Are the prices listed on the Rayacom website final? How can I calculate my total cost?

The prices listed are based on the basic prices of products against speculative quantities. Prices are calculated with regards to the baseline paper and card types, sizes, and single-sided printing. Your final printing cost is dependant on many parameters: the weight of your selected paper product, your desired finish, and the additional design elements you select.
