Can I send you documents created in MS Word or Powerpoint?

Yes, but we strongly recommend you convert Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents to PDF before sending them. Office files are built for screens and office printers, not commercial presses, so they often shift fonts, reflow layouts, and use low-resolution images that do not hold up in print.

• Export to PDF first: saving as PDF locks your fonts and layout so what you see is what prints.
• Watch image quality: pictures pulled into Office files are frequently low resolution, so start from originals at 300 dpi.
• Colors convert to CMYK: Office builds in RGB, so expect a conversion and design with print colors in mind.
• Add bleed and safe margins: Office documents have no bleed by default, so set up the page to include it before exporting.
