Your files,
in plain terms
You don't need to know this vocabulary — that's our job. But if you want to get it right the first time, here are the only four rules that matter.
Export as PDF (X-1a if your software offers it), fonts embedded. We also accept Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop files. A Word or Canva file? Send it anyway, we'll take a look.
If a color or photo touches the edge, extend it 0.125 in (3 mm) beyond the final size. Otherwise a thin white line can appear after trimming.
Images need to be 300 pixels per inch at final size. An image pulled from a website (72 dpi) will look blurry when printed — we'll tell you before we print.
Screens work in RGB, the press works in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black). Some very bright blues and greens darken in conversion. We convert for you and show you the result on the proof.
Free PDF proof for every order, certified paper proof on request ($25). Nothing goes on press before your written “approved.”
Our designer builds your project at $65/h (30 to 45 minutes for a typical business card). Minor edits to an existing file: free. We never bill for a correction without telling you.
