We’ve all had to do last minute printing. \u00a0You dread the call back from the printer telling you that your image size is off and they can’t fix it. Well, I’m going to give you the steps and knowledge so that you can avoid this problem altogether \u00a0and submit proper files to the printer.<\/p>\n
I will be using photoshop CS5 as a reference.
\nCheck your Images and size.<\/p>\n
First <\/strong>: Make sure all images used in the print file is at 300 DPI\/Resolution.<\/p>\n Second<\/strong>: Be sure that you add bleed to your file. Our company uses .127 inch bleed. A 4 x 6 postcard file should be submitted at 4.125 x 6.125. All image\/background should flood to the edge. Any pertinent text or logos should be 1\/2″ from the edges.<\/p>\n To check and see if this is completed you have to view the ‘Image Size’<\/p>\n Under “Image” Click “Image Size” How to fix your size.<\/p>\n Here are some links that explain bleed in more detail
\nYou will see your size and resolution.
\nIf you were printing business cards it should read
\nWidth: 3.627
\nHeight: 2.127
\nResolution: 300<\/p>\n
