Custom Size Business Cards are available: please select the next largest size shown online that will fit your trim size. Supply your files at your custom trim size and be sure to indicate this size in your order notes.
If the text in the supplied file uses a very small point size, it might appear “broken-up” or illegible due to the lower halftone resolution used with indigo printing. For best results with small type, we recommend using 100% K black as opposed to grey.
Don't use rich black on Indigo printing, it can cause issues with misregistration. 100% K will be just fine. If using grey, a black-ink only grey will give also give you best results.
For spot white printing, we require you supply a separate additional page showing the spot white areas (eg: images, text etc.).
Tightly registered detail using spot white can cause 'haloing', where the spot white might not exactly align with the CMYK elements. Anywhere that the white and CMYK tightly register and end together should be avoided.
Because this is a colored stock, some colors are hard to read (like yellow/oranges, med browns, greens). If you are concerned that your color won't be visible, please request a hard copy proof.
The minimum recommended text size is 6pt. With any small text, if grey use a black ink only version. If Black, use 100% K.
Anything thinner than a hairline stroke (0.25") - even at 100% K may look choppy when printed due to Indigo print resolution.
There is a screen to the Indigo print which customers should be aware of if they're comparing to traditional offset printing.
Heavy ink coverage can be problematic. When the cards rub together, the ink can rub off. This can be an issue for corner rounding so we generally advise clients with heavy coverage not to round corners.
Bleeds: all files must have a 1/8" bleed on each side
Live Area: keep all critical text and artwork 1/8" inside the trim
Colors: supply your files in CMYK color (Pantone/RGB colors will be converted or rejected)
Spot White: Include a separate vector file/artboard with the white elements coloured with Pantone Black to denote the special finishing. Spot White must be supplied as a vector element.
Resolution: 300 dpi minimum (400 dpi preferred)
Fonts: fonts must converted to curves/outlines (we do not accept fonts).
Transparencies: flatten all transparencies
