Smoky Raven Creative has a mission to provide affordable printing to organizations that matter. Ensuring we get paid for all our work is one component of keeping our pricing affordable.

After carefully examining Washington State’s regulations regarding sales tax, we determined the situation in which we could exempt collection are extremely rare.

Smoky Raven Creative pricing is set up to provide the best pricing we can for nonprofits. Everyone else gets a price that is slightly higher, but much more affordable compared to other local sign shops.

You will receive a confirmation email that it has been paid. Most sign orders will be completed and delivered to you within 5 days. Smoky Raven Creative will do its best to communicate by email the progress of your order.

Most orders will be delivered using Fedex. Sometimes we use UPS. Either way you must provide an address that can receive orders using one of those two services. Occasionally we may deliver it ourselves if time allows.

Once we submit or queue it for printing it is already too late. Please let us know what went wrong though. If we can help, we will.

All printed signs are customized just for you, so we do not accept returns, or do exchanges. Please let us know what went wrong though. If we can help, we will.

If you send print ready art, no. If we create or modify your artwork, absolutely!

Not likely. We use modern systems to create your sign, but many variables exist in this industry. Converting from the screen RGB system to the CMYK print system may cause some color shifting. Signs are printed using large format equipment to print what is expected to be viewed at a distance. It may look grainy or have lines up close. The intent is to be viewed at a reasonable distance, except fine art prints. Fine art prints are photo resolution, and quality.

If you have the option, yes. If you can export CMYK, yes. If you don’t know what that means, or can’t, we still use a process that does a great job of matching. The exception being fine art prints. RGB has a wider gamut and our printer does a great job of reproducing it.

Print equipment prints at 36 to 72 DPI. We recommend 72 to 150 DPI at full size exporting so the print equipment has good data to work with for processing. Fine art we use 300 to 600.

No. Pantone got to greedy so its no longer integrated into our workflow. We still do our best to provide a high quality print. We recommend selecting CMYK colors in your artwork when possible. 

We round up each direction to the next full foot. For example 23”x25” will print at 23″by25″, but will be billed at 24”x36” (6 Sq.Ft.).

Export your artwork using a press quality PDF at exact size, no bleed, no added marks. If you have your artwork in another format, go ahead and send it. We will communicate with you on whether or not it will work.

If you receive your order and it is defective, yes. If you just don’t like what you ordered, no. We dont cover anything related to wear and tear even if it is from the environment.
