Send Us Your file

If you need to send us large files you can use a free service from yousendit.com. You can also email us at richmondprinting@rcn.com

File Size

Your files must be built to the final trim size plus bleed. This means your files should be 0.25" larger than the product size that you are purchasing. (i.e. 2x3.5 business card = 2.25x3.75 graphic file). In the case of Envelopes, all text and images must be .375" from each final edge of the Envelope and images cannot bleed off the edge.

Crop Marks

Please ensure your files are saved without any crop marks as these marks will be considered part of the artwork and will end up being printed on the finished product.

Fonts/Text

Please make sure that you are not using a font size smaller that 7 pt. If working in Photoshop, simply flatten the image.

Resolution

We recommend that all images used are at least 300dpi. Submitting files with a lower resolution than 300dpi can make the image look pixilated and blurry.

Color

We require that all graphic files be built using CMYK to ensure color accuracy prior to being sent. Files submitted in RGB will be converted to CMYK, which could cause a slight color shift in the finished product.

Typographical / Grammar Errors

Make sure to proofread your file to ensure that spelling and grammar are correct.
