Question
How should I set up my file for clear printing?
Answer
Clear printing comes out best when your file is set up for a transparent substrate from the start. Begin with the correct product template so your dimensions and bleed are right, then plan for white ink if your design needs solid color.
| Setting | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Color mode | CMYK |
| Bleed | 0.125 inch on each side |
| White ink | Separate layer where opacity is needed |
| Fonts | Outlined or embedded |
Reviewing a proof before printing lets you confirm color, white-ink placement, and layout before the run begins.
