Printers use ink (CMYK). If your file is RGB, the machine must guess the conversion, leading to dull or unexpected colors. We fix this manually.

The cutting machine isn't perfect. Bleed acts as a safety margin. Without it, your final product will have ugly white edges, wasting your print run.

When we deliver a PDF/X file, you can submit it knowing it meets all professional requirements.

This package makes the file print-ready, but if you want to edit the text or colors yourself later, you need the layered master file.

Your file is ready for the press. We handle the three technical requirements—color, margins, and resolution—that cause 90% of printer rejections.
