Question

What file formats are accepted for carbonless forms?

Answer

For clean, predictable carbonless form printing, submit a print-ready file that locks in your fonts and layout. PDF is the safest choice because it embeds everything and prints exactly as designed.

  • PDF - preferred format, keeps fonts and spacing intact
  • AI, EPS - vector files that scale without losing sharpness
  • PSD - accepted when flattened at full resolution
  • Build at 300 DPI in CMYK color mode
  • Add 0.125" bleed and keep key text inside the safe margin
  • Design only the front of the top sheet unless each ply needs different content

Pair your forms with matching envelopes to keep your paperwork looking consistent across every touchpoint.
