-
What is Bleed and why is it so important?
Bleed is artwork that extends beyond the size of your product, meaning that once your product has been trimmed, any colours, text or images will be printed right up to the edge of the sheet. This is important to include in your design as it gives a professional finish to a product and means that you will not have any white borders. We recommend including a minimum of 3mm bleed on your design. -
What is the difference between RGB and CMYK?
RGB stands for Red, Green, Blue and is used for images that are meant to be seen on screen. Electronic devices are able to create any colour imaginable by adjusting the intensities of each of these three colours of light in each pixel on the display.CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key (Black) and is the colour mode used when printing, as this involves mixing ink colours rather than light. Because of this, CMYK colours are less vivid and bright than RGB, so printed images can look quite darker and duller than images on screen. -
What is Resolution and DPI?
Resolution is the clarity of your image. The higher the resolution of your image, the better quality we are able to print this for you. Low resolution images often appear blurry or pixelated when printed, meaning the overall effect of your product can be poor quality and difficult to read.DPI stands for Dots Per Inch and refers to the measure of image quality when printed. The higher the DPI of your artwork, the better the quality will be when printed. We recommend sending artwork at 300dpi where possible, for optimum quality.
