Question

What file formats are accepted for notepads?

Answer

Notepad printing comes out cleanest when your file is print ready, with sharp text and colors that reproduce accurately. Vector formats are ideal for logos and type, while high-resolution raster files work well for photos and detailed backgrounds.

  • Accepted formats: print-ready PDF, AI (Adobe Illustrator), and PSD (Photoshop).
  • Color mode: CMYK, so on-screen colors match the printed result as closely as possible.
  • Resolution: 300 DPI at final size to avoid blurry or pixelated output.
  • Setup: outline your fonts and add bleed, usually 0.125 inch per side, using a blank template sized to the exact trim and bleed.
