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.
