FILE
FORMAT:
We prefer the following file formats TIF, TIFF& JPG.
Save them in the highest quality, CMYK color space,
300 - 350 DPI.
RESOLUTION:
All file formats must have a minimum of 300 to 350
dpi (dot per inch) resolution.
The images designed for the web done at a low screen
resolution of 72 dpi. Print images need to be created
at 300 - 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.
BLEED:
The purpose of a bleed is to continue a color, image
or design beyond the finished edge of the card. It
is the portion of the card that will be trimmed off
when cut to the final size. The design extends beyond
the final size so that when trimmed to the finished
size it afford a nominal marging of error. A Bleed
is the portion of the image(s) or element(s) that
go beyond the finished trim size of your project
and allows printers to trim your job and give the
appearance that objects "bleed" off the
page.
SAFE ZONE:
All critical elements (text, images, logos, etc.) must
be kept in the safe zone at least 0.125" inside
the edge. Anything left close to edge may be cut
off during trimming. Please down load our templates
for ease of setting-up your files.
FONTS:
Because fonts need to be embeded into files for print
in many image formate, we prefer files to be flattened
and submitted in an image format such as .jpg or
tiff.
BORDERS:
Please aviod using strieght borders around the edges
of cards and we recommend no borders due to shifting
in the cutting process, borders may appear uneven.
