CAMERA READY
The term
"camera ready" refers to artwork that is ready to print, ie., with
no further steps. Artwork is the proper size, resolution, with
included fonts and bitmaps. If bleeds are needed then artwork should
extend 1/8th inch beyond the borders of the item. For example, a
business card is 2 x 3.5 inches. With bleeds all around the artwork would be 2.25 x 3.75 inches.
DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS
Registration:
Colors touching or within 1/16" of each other add a
registration charge.
Flat and
Raised Inks: Having
PART of your card printed with RAISED INK (THERMOGRAPHY)
and PART WITHOUT
costs more than having it all done with one process.
Bleed:
When colors go within 1/16 inch of the border of your card, ( the edge)
there is a bleed charge. EACH EDGE OF YOUR PRODUCT IS CONSIDERED: If the
design goes off all four edges of a business card the bleed cost would
be times four.
Backside
printing:
If your design includes text/graphics on the back, that will add to
the cost.
Pantone®:
If your design requires an exact color match, or spot color, that adds
additional charges.
