Artwork & Design Guidelines

In which graphic solution should my artwork be created?

Your artwork should be created at 300 ppi (pixels per inch) or 300 dpi dots per inch. If your artwork is at a lower resolution, the print quality may be affected.

How are the fonts and images printed?

All fonts are “outlined” and images are embedded.

What colors do you use for printing?

We use the industry-standard CMYK 4-color process printing and do not print MS or Spot color ink.

What is the difference between RGB & CMYK color?

All artwork or designs and images must be provided in CMYK color mode.

RGB


Standards for Red, Green, Blue; the primary colors for visible light. RGB depends on a light source to create color. Your monitor, for example, creates color by emitting light through red, green, and blue phosphors. RGB color mode is best for your monitor but not for paper. RGB will not separate for production.

CMYK


Stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black; the colors used in four color process printing. CMYK is based on the light-absorbing quality of ink printed on paper. Please make sure that all photos/pictures are saved as CMYK.

Color Shifts


Be sure to convert all RGB images to CMYK before submitting to avoid color shift. A Color Shift occurs when converting from RGB to CMYK. Do not trust the colors on your monitor. For best results, convert images to CMYK and print a sample to proof. If we have to convert for you the color shift may cause unsatisfactory color quality.

Which file formats do you support?

Adobe Illustrator (*.ai, *.eps)
Adobe Photoshop (*.tif, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.psd, *.bmp)
Adobe Acrobat (*.pdf)
Corel DRAW (*.cdr)
Quark Xpress (*.qxd) - Ver.3.3 & Mac Only

What type of finishing is best for logos on business cards?

If you are looking for a clean and modern look, matte business cards are a great choice. The matte finish will help give a nice smooth look that will look great for designs and colors.

If you are planning to have a photo or a headshot on your business cards, a Spot UV finishing will make the images look vibrant. Having a glossy finish can provide a great contrast to your business cards.

Foil finishing is also a great alternative if you are looking to make your business cards stand out. Foil adds a pop of color that can easily help make your business cards identifiable from the rest.

Having a raised ink finishing is beneficial when wanting certain texts or images to appear more prominent. Raised ink allows for a small 3D-like effect that will surely attract people’s attention.

We recommend Yupo stickers for labels because they stick to glass very well but can be removed easily. They don’t tear or stretch as well!

How do you make Spot UV more noticeable?

If you want Spot UV more noticeable, try with a darker background. It will help to create more visual impact.

Adding a foil finishing to postcards is a great way to make your postcards. Foil finishing will make your colors pop and enhance the appearance of your postcards. Another great method is to have your postcards gloss laminated so that the shiny appearance can easily attract attention.’
