22×28 Poster

Among our paper and cardstock selections, 16 pt. cardstock is the thickest. With a weight equal to ordinary business cards and luxurious invitations, it will last longer than any other and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Both the 14pt and 16pt cardstocks are rigid, without any bending.

• Prepare your files in CMYK color mode rather than RGB.
• For black lettering, change the font color to 100% K instead of 4c.
• When utilizing special colors, enter the desired Pantone or HKS colors in the color channel.
• Instructions for special colors: Overlay a special color with another process color (CMYK) using knockout rather than overprinting. Knockout should be used to generate special colors over a CMYK color.
• When ordering a greyscale item, use the greyscale color mode.
• To guarantee a precise greyscale print outcome, create grey regions in shades of black.

Embedded Fonts & Paths

To avoid printing issues, convert all of your fonts and paths to outlines (or if we do not have the exact font on our systems).

Make sure the text and background colors have enough contrast.

Tips for Best Results

Full-bleed pictures should be used.
Use full-bleed pictures with visuals that span the whole dimension of the paper to achieve the greatest potential result.

Borders should be avoided in designs.
Borders should not be used in your designs. If the print shifts during the cutting process, the borders may seem uneven.

Upload your pictures in the proper orientation.
Images can be arranged horizontally or vertically. Upload your print file in the appropriate orientation when creating a product.

We adore this magnificent planet and feel that it is critical to preserve it. Our choice to become green was an easy one, but we want to make it as simple as possible for everyone. We think that even the tiniest decisions we make over time may have a tremendous impact. As a result, it is our mission to make environmentally responsible options more accessible than ever before.

All of our items, including our packaging and the mailers we use to transport your purchase, are made completely of recycled paper. This means that no trees are felled or harmed, and all of the paper we use is created from recycled materials.

We exclusively print using eco-inks and non-toxic digital toners to reduce our carbon impact even more. We’re constantly looking for innovative methods to include sustainability into our workflow.

Paper: We exclusively use FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) certified 100 percent PCW paper. Rather of utilizing carbon or nuclear energy, we utilize biogas, which is the energy provided by decomposing landfill trash and collected and used for paper manufacturing at the mill. Thousands of tons of CO2 are saved each year as a result of this.

Printing: Rather of using hazardous inks that include VOCs (volatile organic compounds), we print only using non-toxic inks to preserve our air and water free of contaminants.

To ensure that our quality and sustainability requirements are followed, all of our materials are obtained from inside the United States and Canada. All of our printing takes place at our facility in Brooklyn, New York.

Before printing, our crew double-checks all of the work. If we run into any issues with the files, we’ll let you know and show you how to modify the format. Please keep in mind that color and size mode conversions will be done automatically without any input from you.

Before we go to print we check:

• if the files are in one of the acceptable file types (PDF, JPG, TIFF, EPS or PS).
• if the page count is right
• if the file you’ve provided is in grayscale (only if you have ordered a color print)
• whether the file is the correct size (if not, we will scale your work to the appropriate size, which may result in a loss of resolution). There will be no more bleeding added to the procedure).
• if the drill lines have been pre-determined
• Check whether the correct typefaces have been included in the document.

All files should have a 2mm bleed on either side to guarantee that there are no white spots on the printed output. This means that your design should always be 2mm bigger than the actual print format (including pictures and graphics). Failure to do so may result in minor differences, such as white margins. Place typefaces and key parts of your artwork at least 3mm away from the final format (not counting bleeding) and avoid using edges as edges in layouts to guarantee that they are visible.

Optional:

• If you’re sending data in an open format for printing, the bleed should be 4mm on each side (e.g., A4 size with bleed should be 301 x 214mm).
• Please prepare a file with 3mm bleed on each side if submitting files for presentation folders, banners, monthly calendars, packaging, or any other promotional technology items.
• Envelopes should have a 1mm bleed on all sides.
• The elastic frames for textiles must be bled 15mm.
