Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my own paper?
Yes, and we recommend asking Team Uproar in advance to confirm printing compatibility. We will use some paper for test prints and calibrations, so please bring some extra.
You can reserve an appointment and bring it on-site in Oakland, or ship it to us. We will return the rest of the paper after the job is complete.
Do you source any paper by special request?
Yes, and the minimum will be one ream of 13 × 19-inch master sheets or 24 × 40-inch parent sheets. We will use a few sheets to create a paper profile for calibration.
There is no middleman fee, and we will add the custom order to your invoice.
Can I order a test print before production?
Yes. We have a minimum order of three 13 × 19-inch master sheets for production, but you can send multiple images for the purpose of trial prints.
If you need the same image on different papers, contact us for a trial print or request samples.
Do you have print samples?
Yes, we have blank paper sheets and printed samples. Due to the size of our media library, we may not have all the paper samples but we will do our best.
