🧾 Print Facts & Tips
Printing is science and art. Understanding a few key factors can save you time and money while ensuring your project comes out looking its best.
Essential Print Facts:
- Color Mode: CMYK = Print, RGB = Screen. Don’t mix them up.
- Bleed & Margins: Always add a ⅛" bleed and keep text ¼" inside the trim.
- Resolution: 300 DPI minimum for crisp results — 72 DPI looks pixelated.
- Paper Weight: 100lb gloss cover feels premium; 14pt cardstock is ideal for business cards.
- Finishes: UV gloss for shine, matte for elegance, silk for a soft touch.
- Proofs: Always request a digital proof before full production.
