Steps to receive Web Price:

• Image Resolution:
All files need to be at least 300 dpi in resolution or more. Resampling low resolution files to 300 dpi will not print any better.
• CMYK:
All files should be converted to CMYK. If files are submitted in RGB we can not be responsible for any color shift.
• Accepted File Formats:
Files must be either a JPG, TIFF, EPS, flattened PSD, or PDF. If your files are a vector format or PDF please include a .jpg proof for the front and back or request an email proof. If files can not be flattened, you must create outlines for your fonts. Please refer to FAQ for more information on this.

A Special Note about PDFs
PDFs are a great file format for portability and home print use, however we prefer not to have PDF files due to issues occasionally associated with them. If you are submitting PDF files we strongly recommend flattening all layers or request an email proof when you add the item to your shopping cart. If you don't request an email proof then submitting a low-resolution jpg of what your document should look like will suffice. Email proofs cost nothing but may effect turnaround. We have experienced issues with PDFs corrupting elements when it's not flattened so if you submit PDF files and do not request an email proof or flatten your files we can not be held liable for any undesirable results.
• Bleeds:

Envelopes are not available with full bleed.

• Cut Margin:
All text and graphics should be 3/8" away from all edges.
• Text Margins:
All text should be 3/8" away from all edges.
• Naming Convention:
File names must follow this naming convention: order number_size. For instance, if your order number is 7800-0 and the sticker size is 3x6, then you would preferably name your files 7800-0_3x6.pdf. Do not include the bleed size in the file name, just the actual size after trimming.

Important things to consider:
• Typographical Errors:

All files should be double-checked for spelling and layout. We do not check for these type of errors.
• Vector Applications:
Designers using Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand refer to FAQ for special instructions on how to set your files up.
• CMYK Values for Rich Black Tones:
Designers should adhere to the following true CMYK values to get deep, rich black tones when printing with NitroPrint.com:
 
Cyan: 65%
Magenta: 50%
Yellow: 45%
Black: 100%

It is important to note if you build your black as a single value (ie. C:0%, M:0%, Y:0%, K:100%) then there will be a greater chance of incomplete ink saturation.
• Proofs:
Regarding proofs it's good to understand the limitations of each option:
 
Email Proofs do not cost anything and can show generally that a file has been received correctly but can not be used for color accuracy.

Hardcopy Proofs incur an additional expense ($50 plus shipping) and are better used for color issues. It is important to note color on a hardcopy proof will be 90% accurate to the final product. We can not color match a furnished color laser proof.

Any proofing request will affect turnaround time.
