File setup cheat sheet

Resolution

300 DPI at final size for anything read up close. Large-format banners can go as low as 100 DPI because they are viewed from a distance.

Bleed

Extend background art 0.125" past every trim edge so small shifts don't leave white slivers.

Safe margin

Keep text and logos at least 0.25" inside the trim line.

Color mode

Send CMYK for print. RGB files are converted and bright neons may shift.

Fonts

Outline or embed every font. Missing fonts get substituted.

Accepted files

PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, SVG, PNG, JPG, TIFF. Vector files print sharpest at any size.

Page count

Export one file per printed side, in order. Multi-page PDFs work for brochures and booklets.
