If a designer has prepared your artwork, please supply them with our templates and design specification for design and artwork requirements.

If your artwork does not meet our template specifications, your order will be placed on hold and you will be contacted via email or phone to provide the appropriate corrections. Please note that this will delay the turnaround time of your order.

For your convenience, you can view a complete list of design specifications by clicking here: Design and Printing Specifications.

Please take your time to review our specifications to ensure your files are ready for print. If your artwork does not meet our design specifications, your order will be placed on hold and you will be contacted via email to provide the appropriate corrections.

No. All Pro Print only accepts Adobe Photoshop®, Adobe Illustrator® and generic .eps files.
    1. What color mode should my file be?

Your file should be in CMYK mode. If you are ordering a color front/black and white, grayscale mode is accepted for the black and white side only.

All Pro Print does not accept files in RGB mode. If you submit files in RGB mode, they will be converted to CMYK mode. This may result in color shifting.

    1. What image resolution should my file be?

In order to guarantee high quality prints, files must be created with a minimum resolution of 300 dots per inch (dpi).

If your image was not created with 300 dpi, please do not increase a lower resolution file or image to 300 dpi.

We recommend that all text be created using Adobe Illustrator®. Text created in Adobe Photoshop® will result in a print with rasterized fonts.

    1. What is bleed?

Bleed is the printed area which extends off the cut area. All Pro Print requires 1/16 inches (0.0625 inches) bleed all around on each side. It is necessary to print a larger area and then cut the paper down. This is because it is not possible to print exactly to the edge of the paper.

The bleed line is the red line on the template.

No. All images must be embedded within the file. Make sure all files are high resolution (minimum 300 dots per inch (dpi) in CYMK color mode.
    1. How do I submit files with fonts?

Please submit your files with the fonts embedded within the artwork. In other words, do not submit your font files separate from your artwork file.

When uploading Adobe Illustrator® artwork files, please make sure you create outlines of the text and save your file before uploading.

When uploading Adobe Photoshop® artwork files, please make sure you flatten all layers and save your file before uploading.

    1. How do I create outlines of text?

Before creating outlines, please remember that once you create outlines you will not be able to edit your text. Make final revisions before creating outlines.

Please follow these steps to create outlines of text:

  • Open your .eps or .ai file in Adobe Illustrator®
  • Make sure that all layers and sub layers are unlocked and visible
  • Go to “Select” > “All”
