Design FAQs
What type of files can I send to InPrint?
We recommend saving as a PDF file. You may also send the file in the following types: JPG, JPEG, TIF, TIFF, EPS, and PNG. We prefer that you send PDF with embedded or outlined fonts. PDF files are easier to handle and will likely speed up your turn-around. Remember to flatten your files before uploading.
What is a bleed and how should I set it up?
When the image extends all the way to the edge of the page, bleed is needed to preserve the finished look and the quality of the final product; it gives the printer a small amount of space to account for movement of the paper and design inconsistencies. Bleed must extend past the cut-line and will be trimmed from the product during the final cutting phase. Standard bleed is 0.125”. Please keep all text at least 0.125" inside the cut-line.
What color mode should my files be?
If you send us an RGB file, there is a chance that a color shift may occur and you may not be satisfied with your job. You should always start and finish your designs in CMYK color mode to prevent end-result surprises!
What resolution should my file be?
Low resolution files may be printed as is or will be placed on hold until we receive new files, slowing your turn-around.
