Find instant answers to questions regarding file preparation, CMYK bleeds, turnaround schedules, GST invoicing, and our quality guarantee.
Artwork & Design FilesWhat file formats do you accept for custom printing?
What file formats do you accept for custom printing?
We accept vector PDF (.pdf), Adobe Illustrator (.ai), Photoshop (.psd), CorelDraw (.cdr), SVG, and high-resolution uncompressed TIFF or PNG. For maximum sharpness and crisp typography, vector PDF with all fonts converted to curves/outlines is our top recommendation.
Artwork & Design FilesWhy should my files be in CMYK instead of RGB?
Why should my files be in CMYK instead of RGB?
Computer monitors emit light in RGB (Red, Green, Blue), whereas physical printing presses lay physical pigments in CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key Black). Colors designed in RGB may appear up to 15% darker or shift in saturation when printed. We recommend designing directly in CMYK (FOGRA39 or Coated GRACoL profile) to guarantee color accuracy.
Artwork & Design FilesWhat are bleed and safety margin lines?
What are bleed and safety margin lines?
Bleed is the extra 3mm (0.125 inches) of artwork that extends beyond the actual cut line of your document. Because industrial guillotines cut stacks of hundreds of sheets at once with slight mechanical movement, bleed prevents unsightly white hairline borders. Keep all critical logos, text, and graphics at least 4mm inside the trim line (safe zone).
Artwork & Design FilesWhat resolution must my images have?
What resolution must my images have?
All raster images and photos must be at least 300 DPI (dots per inch) at 100% final physical print size. Images downloaded from WhatsApp or web pages are typically 72 DPI and will look pixelated or blurry when printed on commercial presses.
