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.

JPG and TIFF files are accepted too.
