70 lb. Opaque Smooth White
Best for writing or printing! Commonly used for letterheads and envelopes, paper is bright white and uncoated. This paper is compatible with your Laser or InkJet printers. It instantly absorbs the ink without smearing. For best results, use lighter colors to print on this paper. We suggest avoiding high-density dark colors such as black, blue, purple, brown, etc. Because this paper is uncoated, dark ink tends to get soaked into the paper and might appear darker.

Templates: Download the template, then open it in your design program. Your template will be in the correct size, resolution, and color mode. Use the template as a guide, and when done designing, delete the template layer and save your finished artwork without the template guidelines and instructions.

Accepted File Formats: .TIF, .TIFF, .EPS, .AI, .PSD, .JPG, .PNG & .PDF.
Do not upload word documents, publisher files, etc., instead save it as .pdf

Resolution: 350 DPI (Dots Per Inch)

Color Mode: CMYK

--- Safe line: All text, images, logos, etc., need to stay inside the blue line. Anything left outside the blue line may be cut off.

--- Cutting line: This is approximately where your print will be cut. Because of possible shifting during the cutting process, borders are not recommended, and as a result, borders may appear uneven.

--- Bleed line: Your background needs to extend to the edge of the black line.

REMINDER!


• Please send artwork without blue, pink, and black guidelines.
• No crop marks.
• Zoom in to 100% to check your resolution quality. Your artwork will print as sharp as it looks at 100% zoom.
• If you send files as .eps .pdf or .ai, all texts should be converted to outline.
• If using Photoshop, flatten your image, and save it as .jpg or .pdf. That will prevent fonts from converting to defaults.

Example of low resolution vs. high resolution (print-ready files)

Error: If a yellow box appears on top of the page that says "Please correct the following," it means that you didn't select one of the required options from the drop-down menu. So be sure to go thru each drop-down option and make a proper selection, such as "size, quantity, proofs..."

File Upload: Most files upload within seconds, but sometimes large files can even take up to 20 minutes to upload. It mainly depends on your internet speed and what size and format file you are uploading. For fastest uploads, flatten your layers and save as PDF or JPG, but make sure that your resolution and size stay the same and are not smaller than required. If you keep receiving an error, check that you are uploading the correct file format. The server will not accept any other file format.
