Question

What file format should I use for printing my designs on 4OVER4 products?

Answer

For the sharpest results on 4OVER4 products, submit a print-quality PDF built to spec. Setting the file up correctly up front avoids color shifts and soft edges on press.

SpecRecommended
File formatPrint-ready PDF (AI files also accepted)
Color modeCMYK
Bleed1/8" (0.125") on each side
Resolution300 DPI or higher

A couple of notes:

  • Include 1/8" (0.125") bleed on every side so trimming never leaves a white edge
  • Files in RGB or Pantone are converted to CMYK when processed, which can shift some colors, so design in CMYK to see the true result
