Please follow the steps below to ensure that no additional labor will be required to setup your document for print.

File Setup

1. Convert your document to CMYK color mode.

Our printers are based on the CMYK color gamut, and viewing your document in CMYK mode will give you a more accurate impression of how the colors will appear when printed.

2. Verify that your document has a resolution of 300 ppi.

To ensure a high-quality print, we ask that you please save your document with a resolution of 300 ppi or greater. Also, be certain that any embedded files within your document, such as images and graphics, have also been saved at a resolution of 300 ppi or greater.

3. Verify that your document is set-up at Print Size.

For example, if you would like a 24" x 36" print, verify that the dimensions of your document are 24" x 36".

4. Flatten your document.

This applies if you are using Adobe Photoshop.

5. Verify that your border has been set-up.

If you would like a white border around the Final Print, please include it in your document.

6. Export your document as a high-resolution PDF file.

If possible, avoid using compression.

7. Please be sure to send us each individual font file that will be referenced in your PDF.

You can avoid this by "outlining" the text in Adobe Illustrator or "rasterizing" the text in Adobe Photoshop before saving to PDF.
