Bizcardco Supplying Files

^{Supplying your files to print}^{We support all professional graphics programs on Mac and PC.}

^{When attaching files to your email, please make an .sit or .zip of your files. This compresses the files into one archive for emailing. See our orders page for details and email your files to}^{cards@bizcardco.net}^{Queries? Just email us at}^{cards@bizcardco.net}^{or phone us on 1800 88 11 21.}^Images^{All used in the layout should be scanned in at 300dpi and saved as CMYK. Normally files scanned in are set as RGB. They can be converted to CMYK using Adobe Photoshop or a similar program. Ensure that all elements in Illustrator and Freehand files are set to CMYK as well, not Pantone colours.}^Fonts^{If supplying artwork in Quark Xpress or Indesign all fonts must be supplied that you have used.}

^{File Formats}^{We accept the following files:
- Quark Xpress, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Indesign, JPG (High Quality 300dpi), EPS, TIFF and PDF Files.

The preferred format is PDF. Ensure that all fonts are embedded and images are high resolution. And that all colours are CMYK not RGB or Pantone/PMS}^Bleed^{All files supplied to Bizcardco require 3mm bleed beyond the trim size of your job. So if your ordering a 90x55mm Business card, your artwork should be setup 96x61mm, the extra 3mm on each side gets trimmed off in the printing process.

If your software allows, please place trim marks on your file, and ensure that the artwork is in the centre of the PDF file. We only need trim marks, no colour bars or page information.

Also, any text should be kept 3mm inside the trim size, in a safe area of 84x49mm, this will ensure that your cards are produced to the highest standard.}^{If you are unsure of how to set up your card,}^{download our card sizing and bleed PDF here.}^{What is a "Ready to print" file?}^{Our prices are based on you supplying us with a file "Ready to print". This means that no alteration or further work is required. We simply place your finished artwork on our print run. The best file format to supply us with is a PDF. This format includes all fonts, images and what you see on your screen is what we get to print.}^{Things to check when sending us your PDF file:}^{Has it got bleed and trim marks?
Is it high resolution - do any images appear in high quality when viewed at full screen size?
Is it one up - you just need to send us a 1 up image for the front, and 1up for the back.}Bizcardco Australia
