the basics 

 

Max paper size: 11" x 17"

Max printable area: 10.5" x 16.5"

Zine/book sizing:

• Most cost effective: 5" x 8" or smaller

• Largest saddle stitched book: 8" x 10"

• Largest perfect or wire-o bound book: 10" x 16"

 

In order to take your project to print, we need a 300-600 PPI PDF with your spot colors channel separated.

 

We will also accept grayscale separations for each ink color, please be sure to title each separation with the corresponding ink color name you wish to print with.

​

​

 Please DO NOT: 

 

• Include crop marks

• Flatten your PDFs

• Tile your artwork up for print

 

​

​

Please DO:

​

• Include an extra 1/8" (.125") of image or background color that extends past the trim area if your artwork extends to the edges of the trim edge (full bleed)

• Provide book pages in reading order

• Only choose inks from our list of available ink colors

 

​

If you do not have access to the Adobe suite, please feel free to send us files set up as grayscale separations or email us and we will be happy to find a solution that will work for your project!

 

We can also separate and set up your files for you. Please email us with your files and we will provide an estimate. We charge $55 per hour for file set up and will provide you with a digital proof of your artwork before starting the run.
