I made a mistake on my mailer design. Is it too late to fix it?
It depends on the production stage. If we haven’t printed your job yet, then we typically can make modifications. Once the creative is in printing we are not able to make any changes.

Why do the colors on my mailer look different than they did on the screen?

Screens use the RGB color model (Red, Green, Blue) to display colors, while printing uses the CMYK color model (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black). These two color models have different gamuts, meaning they can represent different ranges of colors. Some colors that are achievable on screens may not be accurately reproduced in print, leading to slight variations in the final output.
