Artwork Requirements
To ensure the best quality for your customized notebook covers, it’s important to provide high-quality artwork. Here are the key requirements:
- Vector Format: Logos and designs should be provided in vector formats such as AI, EPS, or SVG. Vector files ensure that the artwork can be scaled to any size without losing quality.
- High Resolution: If vector files are not available, ensure that bitmap images (such as JPEGs or PNGs) are of high resolution (at least 300 dpi).
- Color Mode: Artwork should be provided in CMYK color mode to ensure accurate color reproduction during printing.
- Bleed and Safety Margins: Include a 3mm bleed around the artwork to account for any trimming during the production process. Keep important elements within the safety margins to avoid them being cut off.
