Original working files are preferred for any pre-press work. Our main program of use is Illustrator but we will accept any file. When supplying artwork please provide all original working files in a zip folder with a PDF on the outside for viewing purposes. To keep overhead costs down and file problems during output at a minimum please follow guidelines below for proper file creation.

• Document must be in CMYK colour space
• Build to trim size of envelope or to SupremeX specific dielines if accessible
• Include 1/8” bleeds if necessary
• Include fonts (screen & printer fonts) with job folder or outline fonts. If fonts are outlines, to keep consistency with changes for future runs include fonts or indicate family, style, size
• Embed all hi-res bitmap images. Please provide these images in job folder
• Document must be in specific pantone colours being used for print (including bitmap images)

• Document must be in CMYK colour space
• Build to trim size of envelope or to SupremeX specific dielines if accessible

The resolution of any image is determined by the resolution it was scanned at or a picture was taken at. Once an image is created into a file there is no way of increasing the resolution. All picture files should be a minimum of 300DPI (printing Dots Per Inch) therefore if you are scanning a photo that is 1” x 2” and you are increasing the final size to 2” x 4” you must scan the image at 600DPI to have the correct resolution of 300 DPI for printing.

Bitmap Images: Must be at least 300 DPI in the correct colour space for printing utilizing the pantone or CMYK colours needed for Your Specific print job. For 8 bit solid colour bitmap images the resolution must be at least 1200DPI. No interpolation can occur to original images.
