Six things that make artwork print-ready
Print-ready PDF
A PDF is the best format for print. See the list of other accepted file types below.
CMYK colour
Set your document to CMYK, not RGB, so the printed colours match what you expect.
300 dpi images
Use images at 300 dpi at the final print size so they print sharp, not pixelated.
3 mm bleed
Extend backgrounds and images 3 mm past every edge so there are no white slivers after trimming.
Safe zone
Keep text and logos at least 3 mm inside the trim line so nothing important is cut off.
Fonts
Convert fonts to outlines or embed them in the PDF so your text prints exactly as designed.
No artwork? No problem.
Our team can set up your existing design for print or design something new for you. We send a digital proof and only print once you approve it.
