A reorder is a new run. We use your file and specs again, but paper lot, ink batch, and press conditions can vary slightly. Color and feel may be very close but are not guaranteed identical.
What usually stays the same
Same file, same substrate, same finish, and same quantity give you the closest match. We keep job specs on record so we can requote and rerun without starting from scratch.
What can change
Paper and ink come from new batches. Humidity and press calibration can shift. The result is usually within normal tolerance; for exact color match across runs, we may need to pull a sample and adjust.
For consistent reorders
• Send the same production-ready file (or confirm we use the archived file).
• Specify the same material and finish; if the vendor no longer stocks it, ask for the closest match.
• For critical color, request a press proof or sample before the full run.
Common mistake
Changing the file or specs "just a little" and expecting the reorder to look like the first run. Any change can affect color, layout, or cost. Document what you changed and confirm with the printer.
