How to prepare a flyer file or sell sheet file for printing (how to make a proper PDF for printing):
Before you upload your file, please be sure your files are saved as a high-resolution PDF file, which means it should be exported using the OPTIMIZED FOR PRESS from Adobe Acrobat® or use PDFX1A settings. If your artist has used transparency layers, you can overcome some problems by converting all elements to CMYK and removing all RGB and Spot Color elements and information from your file and then flattening all transparency layers. These preflights are availabe through Acrobat Professtional®. Be sure to give your file a final look before uploading. Once they file is uploaded, they are quickly processed.
Pages are to be submitted as one PDF file for each side to be printed. Upload PDF for front side where indicated, and a PDF page for the back side where indicated. You are not required to upload a back side image if your job is single sided. Please DO NOT SEND SPREADS, OR MULTIPLES UP ON ONE PAGE - THEY WILL NOT BE PROCESSED. The number of pages uploaded in your file must match your order. All pages must include 1/8" bleeds making the pdf size a total of 0.25" larger in height and width, for example, a 8.5"x11" document with bleeds will measure 8.75"x11.25" and a 11"x17" document will measure 11.25"x17.25". If you are unsure of any of these settings, contact our customer support department at [email protected].
