Resourceful Hints for Creating Your File (File Specs):
• When creating graphics in Photoshop, Fireworks or other raster graphics application,
use 300dpi (dots (pixels) per inch) or better (up to 600dpi)
and CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color mode.
• Remember when building a file, take into account the finished product. Consider cut size, trim, folding etc. For example, make sure your finished business card file is 2” x 3.5” (if the business card has bleeds make the file 2.125 x 3.625.
• An important issue is whether or not your image bleeds.
A bleed is a printer term used to describe whether or not your photo, graphic, or type goes to the edge of the product.
For best results, if an image touches the outside edge of the sheet, it should be extended to 1/8 of an inch past the trim size. This will insure that the paper does not show at the edges of the product.
We prefer all files one up with the canvas size set to the final trim size, unless of course it contains bleeds. Please pull bleeds and (accumulative) 1/8” off the edge of the document. *For example an 8.5 x 11 document should have a canvas size of 8.625 x 11.125.
• Multiple page files are okay.
• Make sure the photo has been scanned at a minimum of 300 dpi 600 dpi is preferable.
• Be sure to set the color to CMYK
• All layers must be flattened.
• Make sure the file is Press ready CMYK
• Be sure all image layers are set to print.
• Make sure that all colors are set to CMYK. These settings are not default in the program.
• Set all images to 600 resolution at 100% view before flattening photoshop file.
• Save all files in either EPS or PDF format.
• Wherever possible, convert fonts to outline; i.e. Illustrator
• Please send fonts, and/or embed them in the file.
