Propel Print is not responsible for artwork submitted that does not follow these specifications.

Color

All color artwork and/or images must be provided in CMYK mode. Any Pantone colors must be converted to CMYK, unless your print order specifies spot colors.

We recommend saving as a PDF. Export PDF files from any Adobe program as "Press Ready", turning off "Compress Text and Line Art". We also accept the following high-resolution file formats: .JPG, .PSD, .TIF, .EPS and .AI. We do not accept Word or Powerpoint files.

Fonts & Images

All fonts should be converted to outlines in Adobe Illustrator and all images should be embedded. Artwork created in Photoshop should be flattened.

Bleed & Trim

Artwork must include a 1/8" (.125") bleed on each side. No crop marks. Keep text at least 1/8" from trimming edge.
