FAQ

For Photoshop/Illustrator files: minimum 300 DPI resolution, CMYK color mode, 1/8 inch bleed all around, and maximum ink coverage of 300%. All fonts must be converted to outlines (curves) and linked images must be embedded in the file.

For a rich, deep black, we recommend the color recipe: C40 M20 Y20 K100. This combination produces a deeper, more vibrant black compared to using 100% K alone.

Recommended resolution: 125 DPI in CMYK mode. Ink limits: 300% for standard media, 200% for adhesive vinyl. Contact us for specific recommendations based on your chosen substrate.

No. Screens display colors in RGB mode while printing uses CMYK, so there will always be slight differences. Color proofs are available for a minimum fee of $30 to validate colors before final production.

Bleed is the area that extends beyond the final trim dimensions of your document. It is cut away after printing to ensure a clean edge with no white borders. Minimum required: 1/8 inch (0.125″) on all sides.
