Frequently asked questions-Graphics

I have designed my own business card. Can you print it?

1) Your file size should be 3.5" x 2", or, if your card has a full background,
with ink that bleeds (goes off the edges), please make the file size, 3.75" x 2.25"

2) Your image area should be no larger than 3.375 x 1.625. This is to allow for
a pleasing effect, and to allow for cutting the cards. Go here to see a sample

3) If you are producing a full color card, it would be best to begin your work while in
cmyk mode to avoid unpleasant or undesirable color changes later in the process.

4) If your graphics are not saved at 200 dpi to 300 dpi, and saved as tif
or bmp (Postscript Level 1 only), they will need to be recreated in order to
successfully "go to the press". Jpg and gif are great for viewing on the world wide web,
but they are not at all suitable for printing.


5) If you are not able to do this, your artist should be able to
supply you with the appropriate file.
