RGBĬMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) are the ink colors used in the printing process, whereas RGB (red, green, blue) are the colors used by screen displays such as your monitor. Be sure to preserve overprints in the transparency box when saving. Please create a new top layer named “white”, create a swatch specifically named “Spot1” (spot color not process, can be any CMYK value) and make sure to check that it is an overprint fill or stroke in the Attributes window. White ink can be printed along with CMYK or alone.
Remember to keep important elements within the safe margin (at least 1/4” from the edge) to ensure that they aren’t cut off when your document is trimmed or in a frame. For graphics that will be cut to shape, please seperate the dieline into a new layer, preferrably on top. The trim area indicates the finished size of the document. Here are the specific bleed requirements.ĥ″ bleed for any vehical wraps Trim and Cut Marks When exporting to PDF, check the export settings so that the bleed is included in the final document. When butting a color or image up to the edge of your page, it’s required that the color or image “bleed” beyond the edge to prevent an unwanted white border from showing when the document is trimmed. The area beyond the trim edge of your page is considered the bleed area. Incorrectly specified page settings cannot be fixed by simply scaling up or down, so make sure your document is built at the correct size. If you must work at a scale, please use one common scale for all files. If the final size is too large for the software’s artboard, please use a common scale (1/4, 1/2, 1/10, 1/20).
Build to Sizeīuild your files at actual size unless your final size is too large for your software to accommodate. This can make your project take longer to prepress. InDesign is best suited for multi-page layouts and creates multiple, unnecessary clipping masks when exported for prepress. Photoshop is a pixel-based (raster) program that lets you size, color-correct and manipulate digital images such as photos and flat art but should only be used when a large file is necessary such as a tractor trailer wrap, building wrap or large scale mural. Illustrator is a drawing (vector) program, ideal for large format graphics. Prepare your art in the program best suited for the task. The following native files are also accepted (in order of preference) and should adhere to the guidelines listed in this document:Īdobe InDesign CS6 (.indd) Working in the Right Software Include bleed and ensure that the artboard is the correct size. The preferred format is a native Adobe Illustrator file.
