BEST DESIGN PRACTICES

• Set your document size equal to the desired finished size.
• Supply .25″ beyond the document edge on all Bleed Pages.
• Pictures must be in CMYK mode if you want them to print in color
• Do not use Rich Black on un-coated paper & never use Registration Black.
MAKING PDF FILES
PDF files are now the only accepted format for file submission.
Most newer graphics programs have an Export to PDF function. Choose Standard: PDF/X-1a:2001
If you use an older program for layout you will need Adobe Acrobat Distiller to make your PDF.
