WHAT TYPE OF FILES CAN I SEND?

We recommend saving as a .PDF You may also send the file in the following types: jpg, jpeg, psd, tif, tiff, eps, ai, and png. These files are easier to handle and will likely speed up your turn-around.

WHAT COLOR MODE I SHOULD USE?

All the files must be send in CMYK color mode. If you send a RGB file there is a chance that a color shift may occur and you may not be satisfied with your job.

WHAT RESOLUTION SHOULD BE MY FILE?

We only accept 300 dpi files and no less.. Low resolution files will be placed on hold until we receive new files, slowing your turnaround.

HOW CAN I GET RICH BLACK?

Rich black is an ink mixture of solid black, 100% K, with additional CMY ink values. This results in a darker tone than black ink alone. If you print black alone as 100% K, the resulting black may not be as dark as you might like.

We recommend using C 60 M 40 Y 40 K 100
This will give you a deep, dark, rich black.

HOW TO SETUP BLEED ON MY FILE?

Bleed must extend further than the cut line. Using one of our Templates can help you visualize this. Please keep all text and anything you do not want cut at least .125" away from the cut line.

Using our templates ensures proper, speedy, accurate production of your job.
