File Set up
Bleed
To ensure quality during the trimming process a 3mm bleed is required for small format artwork and 5mm for large format. Any part of the image that runs to the edge of the page needs to run into this area.
This gives the printer a small amount of space to account for movement of the paper and design inconsistencies.
Crop Marks
Most publishing software has the ability to add the crop marks when preparing a print ready file.
These will give the printer a clear indication on where to trim your artwork.
Print Resolution
For good quality printed images and logos need to be at a high resolution, 300dpi (dots per inch).
Colour Management
All files should be supplied in CMYK not RGB where possible.
