What Is A Print Ready File?

A print ready file is one that is correct in finished trim size, ahas been created in CMYK color and contains bleed (finished trim size with bleed), if applicable. Please see the Specifications tab for more information on finished trim sizes with bleed.

CMYK vs RBG

CMYK color is the standard for printing and represents Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y) and Black (K). RGB color is used mainly for digital purposes and represents Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B). CMYK color is used in printing in order to produce a wider color range, as opposed to RGB that has a narrower color range when applied in printing.

What is Bleed?

Bleed is part of a working document for printed products that extends beyond the finished size. Typically, this is 1/8" (0.125"). Where color is desired to be printed to the edge of the finished product size, you will need to extend your artwork into the bleed area.
