For color critical orders, we recommend that you opt for a printed proof, this is the best way to ensure expected color results. Please note print proofs only include printed portions of your job, they do not include additional finishes like Custom Stamping. All print proofs must be returned to us after review before production of the final product can begin.

We print in CMYK. All submitted final PDF files should contain images and spot colors converted to CMYK or GRAYSCALE. After color conversions, check your pages for any color shifts and correct as needed before submitting your final PDF file.

If selecting the Silk Coated stock for your cover, we strongly suggest adding the Matte Laminated finish. This lamination will help protect from scratching and scuffing.

When printing on an uncoated stock, a solid color background on both sides is not recommended. This type of design will not allow for a clean trim. If your design requires full bleed color backgrounds on both sides, select the Silk Coated stock with the Matte Lamination option for a beautiful final product.

There is up to a 1/8 inch shift that can occur during trimming and / or stamping. We do not recommend designs with borders closer than 1/4 inch from the edge.
