Common Issues
Everything you need to know about preparing your files for commercial printing. Proper setup ensures no delays in production.
Bleed & Safety Margins
Please include a 0.125" bleed on all sides of your artwork. Keep critical text and graphics 0.125" inside the trim line (the safe area) to prevent them from being cut off during trimming.
Color Space
All files must be submitted in CMYK color mode. If your files are submitted in RGB, they will be automatically converted to CMYK which may cause a color shift.
Resolution
For crisp, clear prints, all rasterized imagery must be at least 300 DPI at the final printed size. Large format signs (like vinyl banners) can be submitted at 150 DPI.
