Artwork Specifications Program Formats
We can read Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop and QuarkXpress files. Additionally, please be certain to include all imported or embedded images (EPS, TIF files, etc.) and all screen and printer fonts used in your layout, or have all fonts converted to curves/outlines. Lastly, whenever possible, provide us with vector art.
Recommended Resolution
For scanned artwork specifications, we recommend 300 DPI for a photograph and 600 to 1200 DPI for line art. Ultimately, 1200 DPI is recommended for any line art that includes text.
Artwork Specifications Margin Requirements
For all adhesive and non adhesive products, leave 3/16″ open margin on all four sides. Firstly, we recommend against heavy ink coverage on the adhesive edge of the sheet (about 3/4″). Secondly, the first dimension listed for each notepad is the adhesive edge. Thirdly, for full bleed, extend art 1/8″. Lastly, the printed flat sheets on all Note Cube® edge notepads cannot bleed.
