FILE FORMAT:
We accept the following file formats TIF, TIFF, JPG, EPS, PNG, AI, PSD, and PDF.
FILE SIZE:
The maximum file size acceptable for upload is 30MB (megabytes) per file.
RESOLUTION:
All file formats must have a
minimum of 350 dpi (dot per
inch) resolution. The images
designed for the web are done at
a low screen resolution of 72
dpi. Print images need to be
created at 350 dpi or there will
be a substantial drop in the
image quality.
COLOR MODE:
All color artwork and/or
images must be provided in CMYK
(cyan, magenta, yellow, black)
color mode.
All black & white artworks
and/or images must be provided
in grayscale color mode.
Heavy black ink might cause
smearing.
BLEED:
Please build your press-ready
digital files by adding 0 .1"
dimension for business cards,
postcards, and rackcards. Add
0.125"
for all other products.
We require ALL files to be
built to the full bleed
dimension specified for each
trim size.
We automatically trim 0.05" or
0.0625" off each edge, which
will result in the desired trim
size.
Simply add 0.1" or 0.125" to the
overall dimension of your
digital layout. Example: a 5" x
7" would have a bleed size of
5.1" x 7.1"
and a 8.5"x11" flyer would have
a bleed size of 8.625"x11.125".

What's a bleed?
It is the portion of the card that will be trimmed off when cut to the final size.
Why bleed?
The purpose of a bleed is to continue a color, image or design to the edge of the card.
CROP MARKS:
Please build your press-ready
digital files by adding crop
marks.
Lines indicating where the paper
should be cut to produce the
correct size.

FONTS:
- Fonts must be embedded in PDF files.
- Fonts must be outlined or converted to paths or curves in EPS files.
- Some fonts have copyright restrictions and will not embed in PDF Files.
- Quark Express: Fonts and images must be included with all files submitted. (Mac only)
SAFE ZONE:
All critical elements (text,
images, logos, etc.) must be
kept at least 0.125" inside the
edge. Anything left close to
edge may be
cut off during trimming.
BORDERS:
Please allow 1/16" cutting
space around your card. No
borders are recommended, as
shifting in the cutting process
may
make borders appear uneven.
