Ease of Use:  

Designing and ordering are both easy with Overnight Prints. The whole process is pretty intuitive and efficient. There are three general design workflows; express, advanced, and upload your own design. The express designer walks you through a step-by-step process of choosing and customizing a pre-made template. The advanced designer takes advantage of their cutting-edge online interactive graphics tool to help you bring your design idea to life. And the Upload Your Design tool is pretty self explanatory (supporting TIF, PDF, JPG, EPS, and AI files).

Overnight Prints has “start files” with bleed and trim guidelines that can be downloaded for Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand or Fireworks, Corel Draw, WordPerfect, Paint Shop Pro, Microsoft Word, or even OpenOffice. Alternatively, you can follow their step-by-step instructions on creating your own start file template within the specific program.

Selection:  

Overnight Prints offers a pretty good selection of actual printable products, as well as a good selection of additional finishing features. They print business identity materials like business cards, letterheads and envelopes. Overnight Prints also prints marketing documents like rack cards, postcards, and brochures. They also can produce customized self-inking stamps or custom designed t-shirts.

Design Features:  

Overnight Prints’ express designer has a large selection of predesigned templates and backgrounds to choose from and customize. The advanced online design tool has the same backgrounds, but gives you much more design flexibility. The Overnight Prints online designer is very straightforward, and includes basic text tools, shape creation, align and rotate tools. The utility also has some very advanced features (as far as online design tools go), including transparency controls and layer controls.

After you’re done designing you can view a preview (this also serves as your proof and approval) to check for design accuracy. You can save completed designs (uploaded and online created) in your shopping cart to order (or edit) later. Overall, the design features of Overnight Prints are quite good and add a good deal of design flexibility.
