Question
What file format should I use for catalog printing?
Answer
Submit a print-ready PDF built to spec so the file trims cleanly and reproduces color accurately.
- High-resolution PDF
- 300 DPI images
- CMYK color mode
- 0.125" bleed on all sides
- All fonts embedded or outlined
- Export individual pages, not reader spreads
Setup guides and templates make it straightforward to hit these specs before you export, and following these settings gives you clean trimming and predictable color across the whole run.
