Good print starts with good files. Before sending artwork to Benison Printers, check these basics.

  • Bleed: add at least 3 mm of bleed on every side.
  • Colour mode: supply CMYK (plus Pantone where needed), not RGB.
  • Resolution: images should be 300 dpi at final size.
  • Fonts: embed or outline all fonts.
