Please review and follow the guidelines below when sending files:
Color & Black Usage
- All color artwork and photos must be set to CMYK (not RGB).
- All text should be 100% Black (K only) — do not use rich black or CMYK black for text. This helps prevent readability and registration issues.
- Logos or photos intended to appear grayscale should be set to Grayscale, not CMYK.
Basic Pre-Press Production Checks
1. Document Setup
- Ensure the document size matches the final printed size.
- Confirm the color mode is CMYK.
- Check image and graphic resolution (typically 300 dpi for print).
- Verify that black text and solid black elements are set to 100% K only.
2. Color Check
- Review color consistency throughout the document.
- Check for spot colors or special inks and convert them to CMYK or 100% Black, if applicable.
3. Font Check
- Ensure all fonts are embedded or outlined.
4. Image Check
- Confirm all linked images are properly placed and high resolution.
