:: Design Specs ::

All flyers and print must have atleast a 1/8" bleed (cutting margin/ text away from edges). We are not responsible for proofing artwork that is sent to print and not designed by us. All files must also be sent in the appropriate format, CMYK. All files should be sent in jpegs unless other wise stated and in the exact flyer size needed and at 300 dpi resolution

For photoshop users: To make a 1/8th" bleed you will need to use the ruler tool, if not activated go to the view menu and click on rulers. Then count 1/8th of an inch, which should be 8 dashes within the 1" if viewed at 100%. To make sure your files are in the appropriate size click on image size from the top menu. If you are ordering 4"x6" flyers within the image size box you should see 4 in width and 6 in height or vice versa. In this box you can also find the dpi settings which should be at 300. Please not that if you are using images that you found online or that are at poor resolution this will refect within the print file. In other words you cannot take an image that is 72 dpi and 1"x1" and make it 4"x4" as it will become very distored and blured. If you view your design at 100%, click on view menu and then print size and you can see the clarity of your images. We will not be held responsible for submittion in the wrong formats, wrong bleeds and sizes on jobs we did not design. If you are not familiar or sure if your files are correct we can review your files for an additional $5 and fix your files for an additional $15.

For publisher users: To make a 1/8th" bleed you will need to use the ruler tool, if not activated go to the view menu and click on rulers. Then count 1/8th of an inch, which should be 8 dashes within the 1" if viewed at 100%. To make sure your files are in the appropriate size click on page setup from the top file menu. If you are ordering 4"x6" flyers within the image size box you should see 4 in width and 6 in height or vice versa. To set the proper resultion, you do this when you are saving your files. Click on save as from the top file menu, select jpeg from the drop down menu and then below this click change and select 300 dpi. Please not that if you are using images that you found online or that are at poor resolution this will refect within the print file. In other words you cannot take an image that is 72 dpi and 1"x1" and make it 4"x4" as it will become very distored and blured. If you view your design at 100%, click on view menu and then print size and you can see the clarity of your images. When submitting your file please make sure mention that your file is designed in RGB, publisher is not a commercial printing software so it cannot save to CMYK format. We will not be held responsible for submittion in the wrong formats, wrong bleeds and sizes on jobs we did not design. If you are not familiar or sure if your files are correct we can review your files for an additional $5 and fix your files for an additional $15.

:: Promotional Items Artwork Specs ::

Most promotional items are printed in a process called pad printing, which is similar to screen printing, unless noted as full color process job. Artwork must be sent in vector format (Adobe Illustrator or EPS), which is artwork seperated by color. Each color will have its own separate screen. If you need any assistance with setting up your artwork please dont hesitate to ask. If you need artwork converted let us know and we can do it for you, for a fee of $25 depending on complexity. Jpegs is not an acceptable format.
