All colours and images must be converted to CMYK. The CMYK color model (process colour, four colour) is used in colour printing, and is also used to describe the printing process itself. CMYK refers to the four inks used: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (Black). Generally we cannot guarantee your colours will be what you're looking for if you send RGB (digital) files, however we can convert them to CMYK and continue creating your artwork. Please note, we cannot print PMS or Spot Colours.

Place all text and images 3mm – 5mm inside the document from the finished edge. The cutting edge is called the trim. The trimmed page size is the final intended size of your pages, after being cut along the trim marks.

When creating your final PDF, set 5mm of bleed.  Bleed is a printing term that refers to printing that goes beyond the edge of the sheet before trimming. In other words, the bleed is the area to be trimmed off. The bleed is the part on the side of a document that gives the printer a small amount of space to account for movement of the paper, and design inconsistencies. Artwork and background colors can extend into the bleed area. After trimming, the bleed ensures that no unprinted edges occur in the final trimmed document.

Please use crop marks set at 5mm. Crop marks, also known as trim marks, are lines printed in the corners of your publication’s sheet or sheets of paper to show the printer where to trim the paper. They are used by commercial printers for creating bleeds where an image or color on the page needs to extend all the way to the edge of the paper. Printers generally can’t actually print to the very edge of the paper, so instead they print on a larger sheet of paper and then trim it down to the correct size, and crop marks are used to define where to trim.
