DOCUMENT SETUP : Size & Bleed

BLEED: All submitted files must be sized 300 dpi, and include exceptional room for bleed. For example, if you are placing an order for 4 x 6 postcards, you will first need to size your document with an added 1/8 inch bleed, making your file size 4.25 x 6.25. This allows enough room for our cutters to trim the postcard down to a final size of 4 x 6 without cutting off any importance of your design.

BORDERS: We do not recommend borders within the design due to shifting while cutting in bulk.
*Please do not add temp border for trim lines*

COLOR SETUP : CMYK & Grayscale

We print offset full color process. Make sure all RGB files are converted to CMYK before final submission For 'solid black fill' color settings should be: C: 50% / M: 40% / Y: 30% / K: 100% Pure grayscale should only be black percentages. NO Cyan, Magenta, Yellow Black text must be 100%, no CMY build

DOCUMENT FORMATS : File Compression

We only accept files formatted in Adobe Photoshop & Adobe Illustrator. We recommend sending files as TIFF (w/ LZW compression), but also accept PDF, JPEG, or EPS.

Photoshop files should be flat with no layers.

Illustrator files should have all text converted to outlines and absolutely NO transparencies.

COLOR

LiquidPosh uses the industry standard CMYK 4-color process printing.

EXACT PMS color matching is not guaranteed. While every effort is made to provide the highest quality printing available it is impossible to match PMS colors by using Process (CMYK) colors.

The illustration below demonstrates the differences that may occur when trying to match a PMS color using CMYK.

Jobs are run to a 'pleasing color' standard using commercially accepted color density.
