Below are some key recommendations to keep in mind when creating your artwork. By adhering to these guidelines, you can ensure optimal print quality and consistency in your designs. Let's dive into the details!
Color Recommendations - Black & Gray
Ensure that black text or linework is set to a CMYK value of 0-0-0-100, utilizing solely black ink rather than a composite or "rich" black value.
For expansive gray sections, it's advisable to employ a CMYK value of 0-0-0-20, devoid of cyan, magenta, or yellow components.
When dealing with extensive black surfaces, like a background, opting for our "rich" black value (CMYK 60-40-40-100) is recommended to mitigate any potential banding issues during printing.
Raster Images
Frequently saved as a .jpg, .png, .psd, .tif, or occasionally a .pdf file format, we advocate for high-resolution images at 300 pixels per inch (ppi). Lower resolutions, below 300 ppi, can lead to visibly reduced print quality when converted to halftone for printing. Opting for high-contrast raster images is advised to achieve optimal print outcomes
Vector Graphics
Typically identified as either an .ai, .eps, often now a .pdf file format, ensure to outline all text to maintain consistent appearance and prevent unexpected alterations.
For images, embed them to avoid potential printing issues related to unlinked files. Flatten all transparencies, including any screens or overlays with less than 100% opacity, or alternatively, convert them to a 100% opacity CMYK color build. This ensures seamless printing without any transparency-related complications.
Typography/Fonts
Opt for a font size of 10pt (corrugated) or 6pt (paperboard) or larger to ensure clarity and legibility in the final print. Fonts smaller than this may result in fuzzy or indistinct text.
For enhanced legibility, choose thicker or bolder fonts. Reserve the use of script or thin fonts for specific instances, as they may not reproduce well in print and could appear fuzzy or faint.
When utilizing light-colored or knockout-white text on a dark background, prioritize bold or thick-lettered fonts whenever possible. Inks may bleed slightly, and the dark background can create an optical illusion that diminishes the visibility of text, potentially causing it to "disappear." This principle also applies to intricate line art or fine detailing.
