File Preparation

• Save your booklet as a single file including your cover page as the first page and the back cover as the last page in your file.
• The page count must be a multiple of four. If not, blank pages will be inserted in the inside cover and or before the back cover.
• All files will be printed in CMYK color mode, please convert any RGB color to CYMK before uploading your file to avoid color differences.
• Each side of each page counts as one page, front and back covers also need to be included in the page count.
• Please do not use double page spreads, your file should be individual pages.
• If a bleed is needed, please make sure your image goes to the edge of the sheet and any type/text is 1/8 of an inch away from the edge of the sheet.
• Full bleed size 6″ x 9″  —  Document trim size 8.5″ x 5.5″  ——   Safety area 8.25″ x 5.25″
• To prevent white edges you can extend your design to the full bleed size 6″ x 9″ – but keep text and images within the safety area. If the printing goes to the edge of the sheet but no bleed is supplied in the file we will add a mirrored bleed.

Color matching

All monitor settings such as brightness, contrast, frequency, temperature, etc. affect color accuracy, your printed forms may have a slightly different color than what you see on your monitor.

if I choose 20 page count, that is 5 sheets of paper folded? Is that Correct? Cover is included in that as well. Scotty asked on February 4, 2025

Yes, Selecting 20 pages would be equal to a 20 page booklet consisting of 5 sheets of paper folded and stapled including the front and back covers.
