• Instead of RGB, use CMYK to create your files.
• Change the font color from 4c to 100% K for black letters.
• Enter the required Pantone or HKS colors in the color channel when using special colors.
• Advice on using unique colors: Instead of employing overprinting, knockout may be used to combine a specific color with another process color (CMYK). Over a CMYK color, knockout should be used to create distinctive colors.
• Use the greyscale color mode when placing an order for a greyscale item.
• Create grey areas in various hues of black to ensure a perfect greyscale print result.

You may save your files in print-ready vector formats like PDF, EPS, AI, PS, JPG, or TIF. Reduce all layers to a single, flat background layer.

Embedded Paths & Fonts

Convert all of your fonts and paths to outlines to prevent printing difficulties (or if we do not have the exact font on our systems).

Make sure there is adequate contrast between the text and background colors.

Advice for the Best Results

Use full-bleed images wherever possible.
To get the best possible effect, use full-bleed images with graphics that fill the paper’s whole surface.

In designs, borders should be avoided.
You shouldn’t use borders in your designs. The borders may seem uneven if the print moves while being cut.

Your photos should be uploaded in the correct orientation.
You may arrange images either horizontally or vertically. When designing a product, upload your print file in the proper orientation.

We are in awe of our lovely planet and believe that it must be protected. Although becoming green was an easy decision for us, we want to make it as easy as possible for everyone else. We believe that even the smallest choices we make over time might have a significant effect. As a consequence, it is our goal to increase accessibility to ecologically friendly solutions.

All of our products, along with the packaging and mailers we use to ship your order, are made entirely of recycled paper. Since all of the paper we use is made from recycled resources, no trees are killed or damaged in the process.

To further lessen our carbon footprint, we only print utilizing non-toxic digital toners and eco-friendly inks. We’re always on the lookout for new ways to integrate sustainability into our daily operations.

Paper: We only use 100% PCW paper that has received FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) certification. We employ biogas, which is the energy generated by decaying landfill waste and is collected and utilized for paper making at the mill, instead of carbon or nuclear energy. This results in yearly CO2 savings of thousands of tons.

Printing: To keep our air and water free of pollutants, we exclusively print using non-toxic inks instead of risky inks that contain VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

All of our products are sourced from the US and Canada to guarantee that our quality and sustainability standards are met. We print everything at our Brooklyn facility in New York, NY.

Our team double-checks all of the work before printing. We’ll inform you and provide instructions on how to change the format if we encounter any problems with the files. Please be aware that size and color mode conversions will be carried out automatically without your participation.

Before printing, we make sure:

• If the files are in a format that is recognized (PDF, JPG, TIFF, EPS or PS).
• if the page number is accurate
• if the grayscale version of the file you supplied (only if you have ordered a color print)
• if the file’s size is accurate (if not, we will scale your work to the appropriate size, which may result in a loss of resolution). There won’t be any more bleeding after the printing procedure.
• Check to see whether the proper fonts have been used in the document if the drill lines have been predetermined.

Pickup is available at our Brooklyn facility from 10:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday, during regular business hours. You may always use our contact form, and we’ll get in touch with you within an hour.  Both by car and rail, it’s easy to get to our location.

To prevent white blotches on the printed output, all files should have a 2mm bleed on each side. Accordingly, your design must always be 2 mm larger than the print format (including pictures and graphics). Failure to do so could lead to insignificant deviations, like white edges. To ensure that they are seen, position fonts and other important elements of your artwork at least 3mm (bleeding excluded) from the format’s edge.

Optional:

• The bleed should be 4mm on either side when providing data in an open format for printing (e.g., A4 size with bleed should be 301 x 214mm).
• If submitting files for presentation folders, banners, monthly calendars, packaging, or any other promotional
• technology goods, please provide a file with 3mm bleed on either side.
• There should be 1mm of bleed on either side of the envelope.
• The cloth elastic frames need to have 15mm bled.
