Borders and Off-Set

Please note that our printing and cutting may naturally off-set your print image by 1/8". Because of this we recommend border images be

at least 1/4" (of .25") from the borders CUT edge to minimize the off-set seeming more apparent.

Our shop does our best to minimize this offset by carefully inspecting and trimming each card. However, it cannot always be avoided.

Overprint Margins or "Bleeds"

If your print file images falls off the page, always include a 1/4" overprint margin or "bleed" margin.

This way when we do the final cutting of your cards, there will not be any white edges where the image didn't reach.

This is also important because your files may naturally be off-set by 1/8" during the printing or cutting process.

Printing CMYK on Color Paper

When printing color toner or ink on colored envelopes, the envelope color may affect how your CMYK or color-printed text appears, since digital printing is not fully opaque. However, our envelopes are printed using high-quality digital (laser) printing, which helps minimize this effect.
