What file formats are acceptable for print?
We accept the following file formats: .tif , .jpg , .eps , . ai , .pdf, or .psd files.
What Resolution should my print ready files be submitted at?
All files submitted for print must have a resolution of 300dpi with embedded or outlined fonts in order to be "Print Ready".
Can I resize my 72dpi artwork to 300dpi?
Unfortunately, You can not increase the resolution for a design that has been created at low resolution. This will result in images and text to print blurry or grainy and at times to be totally unreadable.
How should I set up my bleed and crop marks?
Bleed must extend further than the cut line. Using one of our UDDS Templates can help you visualize this. Please keep all text and anything you do not want cut at least .125" away from the cut line.
How do I make sure my blues don't come out as purple?
When using a blue in your design, always make sure to leave at least a 30% difference in your Cyan and Magenta values. Blue is close to purple in the CMYK spectrum. Remember, use a low amount of magenta whenever using high amounts of cyan to avoid purple.
What is bleed?
Artwork extended 1/8" on all 4 sides to allow for cutter variance. For example, a 4"X6" postcard would have a canvas size of 4.125"X6.125".
What are the CMYK values for rich black?
C 60 M 40 Y 40 K 100 - This will give you a deep, dark, rich black.
