Resolution:
Pictures and images that are found on the worldwide web are normally useless for printing — DO NOT USE THEM. Almost all of those images have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (72dpi or 72 pixels per inch), and they result in blurred or 'pixelated' images being printed. If you want a 100% professional-looking business card, then all of your images must be at least 300dpi at the final output size. Never change a low resolution image to a higher one by changing the dpi in your imaging software — you cannot change a 72dpi image into a crisp and clear 300dpi image, all you will create is a blurred image that is set at 300dpi. Rich Black:
When you want an area of solid black within a document, 100% black (K) will not result in a solid, saturated black. Instead, use Rich Black, as represented by C:50% / M:40% / Y:40% / K:100%.

Please do NOT use your designing application’s default Rich Black at all. As the application’s default rich black functions would be great for webpages and other electronic presentations, but they are not very good on printed jobs.

If you use these default black functions, then your job has a very good chance of suffering misregistration — the job might print in a blotchy way and might look dreadful.

Flatten Layers :

We strongly suggest that you create a backup file before you flatten the layers for your later use.

Gradients:
Gradients are commonly used in printing and in most instances produce excellent results. Gradients can be represented in a file as a mathematical equation (Vector) or rendered by the application into a series of pixels (Raster). Whether created as rasters or vectors, gradients below 10% may not reproduce accurately.


PLEASE NOTE:
Screen colours are never accurate and vary from screen to screen according to screen colour settings; please check your CMYK or Pantone (PMS) specifications.

Any files received in any colour format other than CMYK (i.e.: RGB, Lab, HSB) will still be printed and may not reproduce as your expectations; PrintNSave will not be responsible for any colour variations/errors.
