What file formats are preferred for printing?
PREFERRED: PDF 300 dpi with 1/8" bleed to sides
ACCEPTABLE: tif, jpeg, bitmap PDF
NOT GOOD: doc, docs, pages, ppt, made for web images 72 ppi
-
Should I save in RGB or CMYK?
CMYK for large quantities, RGB for less then 1000 prints.
-
What resolution should my file be?
The preferred resolution for images and artwork is 300DPI.
-
How can I send files to be printed?
Via E-mail ( limit up to 10 MB). For larger files we accept print ready files through FTP using DropBox software, YouSendIt.com, or USB drive or our "send us your files" button
-
Should my file have a bleed?
YES. Ensure 1/8” bleed is included in your file.
A 1/8” bleed is required on all four sides of your artwork ( or 0.25” all around)
Bleed is extended artwork on all sides of the artwork to allow for cutter variance. Items such as background and design elements should always extend out of the trim margin.
Failing to provide bleed information can result in the printed product showing a thin area of white on the edge.
If your file does not consist of bleed this can result in delaying the completion of your job.
-
What are safe margins?
All important text and images must be within the safe margin (1/16” away from trim mark).
Safe Margins are 1/16” away from the cut line. Safe margins are guidelines that help you keep important elements of your design away from the edge of your artwork in order that text and images will not be cut off.
-
Are borders acceptable?
For products such as business cards, we would recommend customers to avoid borders. If the border is too close to the cutline, it may results in the final product to be off-center slightly.
-
How do I setup multi-page booklets?
Multi-page booklets are a little more complex to design.
Here are rules to follow when creating your Multipage booklet: • Page counts start on the cover as page 1, inside cover as page 2 and so on. • Total bleed is .25” and total Safety is .5”. For example, an 8.5x11 booklet with bleed should be 8.75x11.25 total. This allows us to set up your crossovers properly. NO SPREADSHEETS.
