Resolution<\/h2>\n

Use artwork at 300 DPI or higher at final size. Avoid enlarging small web images because this does not restore missing detail.<\/p>\n

Bleed<\/h2>\n

Extend backgrounds and full-bleed images beyond the final trim line on every side. Do not add a white border unless it is intentional.<\/p>\n

Safe area<\/h2>\n

Keep text, logos, borders and important faces away from the trim edge. Thin borders make normal cutting variation easier to notice, so use generous margins whenever possible.<\/p>\n

Color and transparency<\/h2>\n

Flatten unintended transparency and check very dark artwork for lost shadow detail. Screen colors can appear brighter than printed ink.<\/p>\n
