RGB will be printed at CMYK color mode. If specific colors are not
requested, Publiplas will choose closest match. - Using Pantone/PMS colors is recommended but an exact match
cannot be guaranteed. Colors on PDF and on computer screen may differ from actual printed color. To ensure accurate color matching
please provide sample color.*
File Resolution & Scale (Digital Printing Only)
For optimum quality, your artwork should have a minimum resolution of 200 dpi at actual size. You may choose to work in a smaller scale, rather than at full size, but the resolution must be adjusted accordingly.
- Make sure to adjust your DPI according to the scale you are working at. Multiply the required resolution by the same number you would multiply your scaled file at to reach actual size. For example, if you are working at half size (50% scale), you would have to multiply that scale by 2 to reach actual size (100%). Likewise, you multiply the required resolution (100 dpi) by 2, so your required resolution at 50% is 200 dpi. See the table below for resolution requirements for common scaling factors.
- Please indicate what scale you used when submitting your file.
- Please keep important graphics 3” from each edge to avoid having the graphic covered by the edging once sewn.
Scaling | 100% | 50% | 25% | 10% |
Resolution: | 100 dpi | 200 dpi | 400 dpi | 1000 dpi |
