Here at Maverick Color, we want to make sure we get you the highest quality print solutions in a timely manner. This is why we created the File Specs checklist.
Include any fonts used or outline before sending us the native file.
To reduce file size, flatten effects and transparencies.
Document size should be trim size. If not, please make sure the artwork scales proportionately at a rate of 25% or 50%.
Images should have a resolution of 300 ppi. Anything under that will print out at a lower quality. Images with a resolution of 72 ppi are best for the web and shouldn’t be used for print.
If you have placed your images into your layout file, you can either embed them, send with them with the file, or use the “package” feature in In-Design and Illustrator to collect all assets before uploading.
