How to Prepare Your Calendar File for Printing
- Set Your Document Size: Create your file at the final trim size of the calendar (e.g., 8.5″ × 11″).
- Add Bleed: Add 0.125″ (3mm) bleed on all sides. For an 8.5″ × 11″ calendar, your document size with bleed should be 8.75″ × 11.25″. Extend background images to the bleed edge. If a bleed is not supplied we will use a mirrored bleed.
- Use Safe Margins: Keep important text, logos, and graphics at least 0.25″ (6mm) away from the trim edge to prevent cutting.
- Use CMYK Color: Convert colors to CMYK and use 300 DPI resolution for images. Avoid RGB and Pantone colors to prevent unexpected color shifts.
- Embed or Outline Fonts: Ensure all fonts are embedded or converted to curves/outlines to avoid font substitutions.
- Export as PDF: Save your final artwork as a high-resolution PDF (Press Quality or PDF/X-1a). JPG are accepted if saved at maximum quality.
- Account for Hole Punch & Binding: Keep text and important artwork at least 0.5″ (12mm) from the top edge if the calendar will be hole punched.
- Include All Pages: Make sure your file contains all months in the correct order. Supply 1 file with all pages in the correct order.
