A press-ready file is a high-resolution PDF that includes crop marks, and bleeds, and is in the correct color mode (CMYK, PMS, or Black & White). Supplying a press-ready file ensures your artwork is prepared for accurate printing without additional setup, avoiding issues like color shifts, art not meeting the edge of the page, or incorrect image resolution. This helps speed up the process and guarantees the final product meets your quality expectations. Download our guide to learn how to properly set up and submit your files.
