Artwork Guidelines

To ensure your printing looks its best, please follow these artwork specifications when preparing your files for Shoalhaven Printing.

Accepted File Formats

We accept print-ready PDF, AI (Adobe Illustrator), EPS, PSD (Photoshop), and TIFF files.

Resolution

All images must be at least 300 DPI at final print size. Lower-resolution images may appear pixelated or blurry when printed.

Colour Mode

Supply files in CMYK colour mode. RGB files will be converted and colours may shift. Spot/Pantone colours should be converted to CMYK equivalents.

Bleed

Include a minimum 3mm bleed on all edges beyond the trim line. Extend all background colours and images into the bleed area.

Safe Zone

Keep all important content (text, logos) at least 3mm inside the trim line to avoid being cut off during production.
