Minimizing Film Costs

Use our templates, please.

Our templates are set up for maximum economy when purchasing film from our particular vendor.  If you lay out a design in our templates but purchase film from someone else, it's entirely possible that you will pay more than necessary.  If you bring a layout to us that is set up in someone else's templates, it's entirely possible that we will have to charge you more for film that we would have had to if you had used ours.

Too late.  It's already set up in someone else's templates.

There are several possibilities.  1) You can rework it yourself.  Depending on the how the documents are set up, this may be easy or painful. 2) You can have us rework it. 3) You can leave it as it is.  You will be charged according to what our vendor charges for film.
