FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

​What type of file may I send to REPRO for printing?​

The best recommendation we can give for saving and sending your file is as a pdf (Portable Document Format). ​These file types can also be sent; jpg, jpeg or ai (Illustrator). If your file is pdf or eps, we prefer you send it with outlined fonts. These files are easier to handle and will likely speed up your turn-around.

* Please note that when sending psd, eps or ai they need to be saved with compatibility for CS3.

​What color should my files be for the best printing results?​

​When designing for print, we always recommend you save your work in CMYK. If you send us an RGB color file, there is a chance that a color shift may occur and you may not be satisfied with the colors.

​What resolution should my files be for the best printing results? 

​All files must be submitted at a minimum of 300 dpi. Low resolution files may be printed as is or will be placed on hold until we receive new files, slowing your turn-around. Please note that if you grow an image to a relatively large size, despite the resolution being at 300 dpi, it still might come out pixelated, unless you are sending in a vector file. We are not responsible for low resolution or pixelated prints.

​How should I set up my bleeds and crop marks for printing?

​All bleed must extend further than the cut line. When sending an eps or pdf, make sure you include crop marks so we can cut the job correctly. When in doubt, feel free to contact us for our designer's professional advice.

​What is rich black and how do I get it?​​ 

​Rich black is an ink mixture of solid black, 100%K, with additional CMY ink values. This results in a darker tone than black ink alone. If you print black alone as 100% K, the resulting black may not be as dark as you might like. We recommend using C 60 - M 40 - Y 40 - K 100. This will give you a deep, dark, rich black.
