To ensure the highest quality for your printed materials, it is important to prepare your files in the correct format. Here are the recommended file formats for prepping files for the printing press:
Additional Tips for Preparing Files:
Color Mode: Ensure your files are in CMYK color mode, as this is the standard for printing. RGB files may not print accurately.
Fonts: Embed all fonts or convert them to outlines to avoid font substitution issues.
Resolution: All images should be at least 300 DPI to ensure they print clearly without pixelation.
Bleed: Include a bleed area of at least 0.125 inches to ensure there are no white edges after trimming.
File Size: Compress files appropriately to manage size without sacrificing quality, especially for email or file transfer.
By following these guidelines and using the recommended file formats, you can ensure your print materials are prepared correctly and meet the highest quality standards. If you have any questions or need assistance, our team at Executive Printing is here to help!
Bleeds guarantee that the design extends all the way to the edge of the paper, providing full coverage without any gaps. Bleeds contribute to a seamless and professional appearance, with designs, images, and colors extending to the edge of the printed piece. They ensure that the finished product looks polished and maintains consistent quality across all copies. Bleeds act as a safety margin, accommodating any minor inaccuracies in the trimming process.
Standard Bleed Size: Typically, a bleed of 0.125 inches (3 mm) is added to each side of the design. This means the total dimensions of the document will be 0.25 inches (6 mm) larger in both width and height than the final trim size.
Design Considerations: Ensure all background images, colors, and design elements that touch the edge of the page extend into the bleed area.
Crop Marks: Include crop marks to indicate where the document should be trimmed to the final size.
By including bleeds in your design files, you ensure a high-quality, professional finished product that meets the standards of precision required for printing. If you need assistance with setting up your design files with bleeds, our team at Executive Printing is here to help!
