Image and Trim Size


Maximum live image area is 17” x 23”. Maximum trim size is 18” x24”. Our standard parent sheet is 20” x 26”.


Color Specifications


Please specify color using PANTONE uncoated swatches only. Exact color matching can be difficult to achieve. Our inks are generally brighter and more saturated than Pantone colors.


Adobe Illustrator



  1. Outline all fonts.

  2. Do not embed files; include all linked files.

  3. Halftone images are printed
    at 35 lpi unless otherwise specified.

  4. Specify intended print order.

  5. Eliminate stray points.

  6. Eliminate extraneous layers and flatten artwork.

  7. Specify color using solid matte
    swatches. Eliminate all unused swatches.


Note: Do not submit Adobe Illustrator files in CMYK mode; specify color using
PANTONE solid uncoated swatches only. Delete all unused swatches. This eliminates
confusion and ensures proper film output. Adobe Illustrator files set in CMYK
mode and/or with extraneous swatches will be returned for revision.


Adobe Photoshop



  1. Save file as .psd at 300 dpi at 100%.

  2. Assign each color to a separate layer.

  3. Label each layer with its corresponding
    PANTONE solid uncoated number.

  4. Halftone images are printed at 35 lpi unless
    otherwise specified.

  5. Specify print order.


Note: 35 lpi is the finest line screen we can print
with consistent results. Dot density above 70% or below 10% can be problematic.


Objects intended to bleed should cross document boundaries into pasteboard
area. Bleed value should be 1/8” (.125”).


Type Size and Line Weight


Type below 10 pt. is difficult to print with consistent
results. For type set below 10 pt. we recommend sans serif, bold fonts. If
type is knocked out we recommend setting it at a 12 pt. minimum.


Minimum line weight is 1 point; line weight below 1 point may not print properly.

We do not offer scanning services. We do not offer design services.
