Have Some Questions? We’re Here to Help
What file formats do you accept?
At Superfast Copying & Binding, PDF is preferred for print-ready files. We can also work with AI, PSD, EPS, INDD (with packaged fonts and links), DOCX, PPTX, JPG, and PNG.
How should I set up my file for best results?
Use CMYK color, 300 dpi for photos (600 dpi for line art), 0.125 in bleed, and at least a 0.25 in safe margin. Outline or embed fonts to avoid substitutions.
What are typical turnaround times? Do you offer rush service?
Simple copies can be same day at our Los Angeles, CA shop. Booklets, manuals, and larger quantities generally take 1-3 business days. Rush options are available—call 310-452-3352 to check today’s capacity.
What binding options do you offer?
Superfast Copying & Binding offers saddle stitch, coil or spiral, wire-o, comb, perfect binding, tape binding, and simple stapling. Clear covers, cardstock backs, and laminating are also available.
Which binding should I choose for my project?
Saddle stitch is great for short booklets and programs. Coil and wire-o lay flat for manuals and workbooks. Perfect binding suits thicker catalogs and reports with a square spine. Our team at Superfast Copying & Binding can recommend the best fit based on page count, paper weight, and budget.
Are there page-count limits for different bindings?
Saddle stitch requires page counts in multiples of 4 and typically works up to about 64 pages depending on paper weight. Coil or wire-o can handle roughly 10 to 300 pages. Perfect binding generally starts around 40 pages.
Can you collate, hole-punch, add tabs, or laminate?
Yes. We can collate, 2- or 3-hole punch, add custom tab dividers, insert covers, fold, score, and laminate to protect documents. Ask our Los Angeles team about specialty finishing.
Do you provide copying and scanning services?
Yes. We offer self-service and full-service black-and-white and color copies, plus high-resolution scanning to searchable PDF (OCR) with options to email or save to a drive.
How do proofs and color accuracy work?
We provide digital or printed proofs for approval. While CMYK printing can vary slightly across devices and stocks, we can spot-check or Pantone-match upon request where feasible. Printed proofs are available at our Los Angeles, CA location.
Do you offer delivery, shipping, or reorders?
Local pickup and delivery in and around Los Angeles are available, and we can ship nationwide. We securely keep your approved files on hand for quick, consistent reorders—call 310-452-3352 to reorder with Superfast Copying & Binding.
