Digital Print Specs
Digital Printing specifications for printing with LOG-ON
File Standards
Digital Printing specifications might vary depending on the scope of each particular project. If you have any specific concerns or questions please contact us.
General Guidelines
Please provide all finished artwork as a high resolution/vector PDF with .125" bleed on all 4 sides and crop marks (when applicable). All raster assets should be at least 300 dpi (at 100% size) and all text should be rendered as vector objects. Vector effects such as drop shadows and transparencies must be flattened.
In the case of artwork we prefer to have a packaged design file (with all assets supplied) for any adjustment work that might need to be done. For everything else please supply the native file in addition to the final PDF.
Post cards
Please provide pdfs of postcards with both sides in the same orientation (landscape or portrait) with .125" bleed and crop marks (if applicable) and ensure there is room left for a barcode and indicia. Barcodes must be at least 1/2" from the right edge of the piece and at least .125" away from all other artwork. Colors underneath the barcode area will sometimes interfere with scanning so please consult your account executive with any concerns.
Letters
Please provide all native files and assets for letters including design files or word documents. If a letter head is involved please provide this artwork either within the word document or as a high resolution/vector pdf. Any other artwork (pictures, signatures, etc.) should be provided in high resolution format.
Trifolds/Brochures
Please provide trifolds/brochures pdfs as spreads with .125" bleed, crop marks, and fold marks. Please note that due to folding the inside panel is generally trimmed smaller than the other panels.
Saddle Stitch Booklets
For saddle stitch booklet printing, please provide the pdf as single pages in sequential page order (Front cover, inside front cover, page 1, page 2, page 3...inside back cover, back cover). Also please note that all saddle stitch booklets must have a page number that is a multiple of 4.
Business Cards
Please provide all business card artwork at 3.5x2" with bleed (if applicable) and no crop marks.
