Artwork Guidelines

At Persis Print we want to ensure you are happy with your order, and that means submitting the best artwork. Make sure to read the guide below if you are not familiar with print grade designing, or simply need a quick reminder. As always, if there are any questions, reach out to us at persisprint@gmail.com

1) For best quality of print, submit your file in one of the following formats:

PDF (Recommended)
PSD/PSB
AI

Other formats that are accepted but may result in lower quality of print include:

JPG/JPEG
PNG
GIF
DOC/DOCX
PPT

2) Unlike designing for web, printing works best with CMYK colour mode. Make sure to convert your files into CMYK beforehand. Submission of RGB colour modes may result in a different colour scheme than one visible on your screen.

Remember that due to different monitor settings, colours are not always 100% identical to what you see on your screen.

3) Please try and avoid any text smaller than 8pt on your designs, as they will be too small to be legible. We are not responsible for the text sizing of the printed materials.

4) Please try scanning your QR code on your design set to 100% zoom on PDF viewer or your design software. If it does not scan at 100% zoom, it most likely will not scan printed. We are not responsible for inability for QR codes to scan in print if they are not sized correctly.

5) The ideal resolution for print is 300dpi (Dots Per Inch). Anything lower may result in low quality prints. For very large files, or if your computer cannot process 300dpi, the lowest you should go is 150dpi.

6) Make sure that your artwork has a bleed of 0.125” included additional to your design. Bleed ensures that there is a safety margin for printing and cutting purposes, and that no essential text or design is cut off in the process.

For example, if a standard business card is 2″x3.5″, adjust your design to be 2.13″x3.63″.

7) If your final file is too large to send by email, please try an alternative sharing method such as Google Drive, WeTransfer, or Telegram.
