Portfolio Printing
*Please contact us to discuss any questions, unique requests or potential discounts based on volume or special projects.
Paper
- Printing can be single or double sided.
- Paper is usually provided by the client. We can send a link to purchase the paper and have sent directly to us.
- We have found that only a few papers excel in printing double sided along with exceptional image quality. We strongly recommend not printing on pre-drilled / scored paper to achieve the highest results and have the most flexibility in layout. Please contact us for more information about this.
- Most double-sided paper is uncoated or matte finish. Single sided can be either coated or matte. Inks are archival.
- A lacquer overspray is included for added protection/durability.
File Set-up
- Images should be between 180- 360 dpi at final printing scale.
- Images should be in RGB color space using Adobe 1998 on a calibrated monitor. Tiff files are the preferred format.
- Ideally, the images should be placed into a file layout program such as InDesign to avoid additional file set-up costs. Working with a designer to help with this is recommended.
- For full bleed printing, please include an additional 1/8” on each side. For spreads, the facing page needs to be offset 1.5” for gutter loss.
- When setting up files or pages, be sure to include the gutter that generally will add 3/4” to the overall size. For example, if the visual opening of the portfolio is to be 11×14 inches, add 3/4” to the gutter side and center accordingly. For example, on an 11×14 inch landscape book, the page set-up size would be 11×14.75 inches, but the centering would still be based on the 11×14 visual opening.
- Provide native file with all links and fonts. Include pdf for reference.
