Booklet mailing: You can use this product to have your booklets mailed. You must choose the option "booklets with dynamic data" to be able to upload a mailing list. The delivery address information will be printed on the top half of the back cover. Postage is additional and NOT included and will be computed later.
These books are printed digitally and therefore are economical for quantities up to 500 or 1000. For larger quantities, our booklets printed on offset press will be more cost-effective.
- File format: We only accept PDF file format.
- Bleed/Edge to Edge Printing: All brochures regardless of size require a 1/16" bleed on all 4 sides. See more.
- Safety zone: We highly recommend having at least a 1/4" clear area on all four sides and placing all text at least 1/4" away from all edges.
- Fonts: Make sure all fonts have been outlined in your artwork so they don't change on the final print. See more.
- Color setting: Your files must be created in CMYK format; we print in CMYK ONLY. Make sure you set up your artwork or convert to CMYK format before uploading files, this will enable you to view the best color representation on your final printed piece. See more.
- Resolution: To have high-quality print, your photos and graphics should have at least a 300 DPI. See more.
- Small borders: We highly discourage outer borders smaller than 1/8", see more. We cut several stacks of sheets at a time, the slightest imperfection in the cut with jobs with very thin borders becomes obvious and can appear incorrect on final piece.
- Rich black ink: If you'd like your final printed piece to have the deepest black color, use the following formula: C=60, M=40, Y=40, K=100. If you leave K=100 it will still be black but not as deep. See more.
- Crossovers: Crossovers are images or elements that are connecting in the center spine from left to right. We do crossover but certain rules must be taken into consideration. Do not put text, faces, or small artwork in the crossover; do not place elements in the crossover where the bindery must be flawless. Try to use larger elements in the crossover so subtle shifts won’t be as obvious.
