What color mode should I use for printing? Can I use RGB files?

icon icon

Please use CMYK for printing.

RGB is for digital screens, while printing uses ink, which requires CMYK mode. If you submit an RGB file, the printed colors may appear dull or different from your screen. Convert your file to CMYK before you start your design to avoid color shifts.

What resolution should images be for printing? Is 300dpi required?

icon icon

Yes. For high-quality printing, images should be at least 300dpi.

Images from the web are usually 72dpi, which may look fine on screen but will appear blurry when printed.

Why do I need to add bleed to my artwork?

icon icon

Bleed prevents unwanted white borders after trimming.

Printing and cutting may have slight shifts (±1–2mm), so artwork should extend beyond the final size.
Standard bleed setting: Add 3mm on each edge (or 1/8 inch for US standard).
