What are the specs to get my files printed correctly?
RES: In order to achieve a better quality print the image resolution must be minimum of 300 DPI (dots per inch).
Uploading an image with lower resolution than 300 DPI will result in blurry and off-color print.

COLOR: To ensure that the color mode of your artwork is CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black).
If you submit a non-CMYK file, converting any other types of color modes to CMYK will result in color shift or color degradation.
On Screen (RGB)After Printing (RGB)
BLEED AND CUT LINE: In order to cut your jobs in a proper manner, we need to have 0.25" extended borders on each side of the image(s) even if your art work has white bordering around the images.
For example for 5x7 post card we recommend 5.25x7.25 inches for print production.
SAFETY ZONE: when designing your job, consider placing the text at least 0.25" away from cutting marks (Crop marks) of each sides of the final cut size.
Text will get cut.
When sending an .eps or .pdf (Press Ready PDF) file, make sure you include crop marks (as shown below) so we can cut the job correctly.
This is the correct way.
