Does your artwork have bleeds?
PsPrint requires .125" bleeds on all four sides of your
artwork (i.e., 4"x6" postcard image with bleeds would
have dimensions of 4.25" x 6.25" in your artwork file.)
If your image has a white border on all four sides, bleeds are
recommended but not required. If your image is not white on all four
sides, you MUST include bleeds in your files. More
information about bleeds.
Does your artwork have borders?
The cutting process for printed materials has a mechanical tolerance
of about .0625 or 1/16 of an inch. When using a border in your
artwork, it is essential that your design use at least .25 or 1/4 of
an inch of white space from your border to the cut line to maintain
a symmetrical appearance. More information about borders. |
