What happens when a print rate card goes stale
Every print figure on this site is read off a named seller's published rate card and carries three things: the source URL, the date we read it, and a staleness horizon. We re-read every 7 days. Past 35 days we will not show the number at all — not as a live price, and not as a last-known price. The surface says quote by request instead.
The live cards were read on 2026-09-08 and are still inside the horizon, so the refusal cannot be seen on the pricing page today. This page runs the same code against a real expired rate book so the behaviour is observable at any time.
The print line, rendered from expired cards
10,000 pieces · 6.25" × 9" saturation flat · Standard schedule (pricing basis)
Quote by request. No live published rate card we hold covers 10,000 pieces in this size — every card is either out of range or past its 35-day staleness horizon. We will not show a stale price, a last-known price, or an extrapolated one.
The expired entries, named
These entries are real published cards read on 2025-11-04. They are long past the 35-day horizon, so the surface refuses them by name and renders quote by request instead of a price. This is exactly what the live pricing page does the moment a live card expires.
