Checklist

• All images that extend past the card’s edge have an 1/8″ bleed around it.
• No images are in RGB color mode.
• Spot colors are clearly listed with the corresponding Pantone number. Note: Use coated swatches only.
• All images are 300 dpi or higher. Much, much higher if you are rendering text (not recommended).
• Check your file formats, we cannot do much with GIF files, etc.
• Include all fonts used to create your document (this includes fonts used in illustrations). We are PC only, so make sure to send PC fonts, if your fonts are MAC, then convert them to outlines.
• Include all linked images used in your document. If you’re in doubt, send the embedded ones too.
• Double-check your disk and copied files to make sure everything is working and no files are corrupt. If the disk was created on a Macintosh, check to make sure it will open on a PC.
• If files need to be compressed, use WinZip, do not use Self-Extracting Type.
