Print-ready files do not require typesetting, layout adjustments or any other editing in order to print. To be "print-ready" your file must have all of the following:
- File format: PDF
- High-resolution raster images: 300dpi at 100% final size
- Color mode: CMYK
- Bleed included: 1/8" (0.125")
- Page dimensions: match the size of the final requested product, plus bleed
