Question
What file specifications do you need for brochure printing?
Answer
Brochure files should be print-ready and built at the finished size so they trim and fold accurately.
| Spec | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Format | Print-ready PDF |
| Size | Actual (finished) size |
| Resolution | 300 DPI or greater |
| Bleed | 0.125" all around |
| Pages | One file per side (outside and inside) |
- Label the outside and inside files clearly so the panels print in the right order.
- Flatten transparency and embed fonts before exporting the PDF.
Build the file in CMYK, since RGB files are converted and colors can shift, and embed fonts or convert them to outlines.
