How to Prepare Your Files

FOR PRINTING YOUR PRINT JOB: LAYING IT OUT

The outer edge of the artwork is your safety area; it's used for cutting your print job. It is important that nothing critical (like text, logos, etc) be placed in this area. We recommend that your important artwork and text NOT be placed within a 1/4 inch (.25) of the documents edge.

GENERAL SPECS FOR YOU TO FOLLOW:

  1. A .25 inch border containing no critical text and graphics must be allowed for cutting.
  2. The size of the printed piece will be the document size listed under Page Setup in your application (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc).
  3. Front and Back of document should be setup as two separate files, do not create both sides in a single file.
  4. Files should be setup at 300dpi resolution or more.
  5. Save files in CMYK format.
  6. All solid black areas should be composed as a combination of C 60%, M 60%, Y 60%, and K 100%.
