Tip Of The Month

With most print projects detailed job specifications should be adhered to. Failure to do this can result in additional expenses and a delay in production. The following points can be used as a check list or guide.

1. Create an art file preferably in Adobe Creative Cloud in CMYK and/or spot colors
2. Remove any un-used colors or convert to CMYK. NO RGB 
3. Names layers clearly if UV, varnish, or coating techniques are used.
4. Add 1/8” bleed of image around the entire piece.
5. Package the file.
6. The package should contain fonts, hi res images, documents, and hi res PDF’s.

A Hi Res PDF is preferred along with native files from Adobe CC.  ZIP the file before sending to avoid it becoming corrupt during transfer. If the file is to large to e-mail either create a Drop Box link or upload to our FTP site.
