Color Matching & Color Correcting

Color is one of the most important aspects of printing, and we do our absolute best to ensure your brand colors are preserved throughout the whole process. If needed, we can even perform color correction to your files to ensure the color matches brand colors, fabric swatches, and more.

Getting ready to send us your files? Setting up your print files properly can seem overwhelming, and that’s why we’re here to make it as stress-free as possible.

 

Abiding by the following ensures that each job flows as seamlessly as possible through our proofing process:

Images

  • 300 DPI/PPI resolution

  • Convert images to CMYK

  • Images are large enough to avoid pixelation

  • Vector files are best for logos, icons, and graphics

  • Images/graphics packaged with file or embedded

Fonts

  • Proofread your work - Indexx is not responsible for any spelling or grammar errors

  • Package fonts with the file OR convert text to outlines

  • Check font sizes, styles, and justification for readability

Document

  • 0.125 or 1/8” bleed

  • 0.5 - 1” margins

  • Document size is correct

  • Settings are correct for any cuts & folds, or perforation

Colors

  • Color swatches are CMYK (not RGB)

  • If Pantone swatches are used, the color number is correct.

  • All blacks are set to Black (0, 0, 0, 100%) not Registration (100%, 100%, 100%, 100%). If a rich black is requested, please provide the color build, or we will build to our standard. 

Print Files

  • Submit a high-res PDF or a document package

  • For PDF: Don’t forget to export the proper bleed & trim settings

  • For packaged files: All fonts & images need to be included in the package
