Print-Ready Files

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
