Bleeds are used when an image, text, or color blocks go to the edge of the document and the image, text, or color blocks should typically extend 0.125” past the edge of the document. The reason we need bleeds is that most printers can't print to the edge of the paper. So, to fix this we print on oversized sheets and then cut down your artwork to your required size using the crop marks. Crop marks are the lines that we use to align the cutting blade so we can cut down artworks to the size that is requested.

Resolution should be set to high resolution or 300 dpi. Please do not send or use pictures and graphics pulled from the internet as these are often low resolution or typically 72 dpi. Please, avoid these pictures and graphics as they will appear pixilated and blocky once printed.

Move your mouse down and click on Download. A new window will appear and you will need to select a different File type (NOT PNG).

Click on the purple "Download" and wait till your file is completely downloaded. Make sure to save your file either to your computer or device. Once your download is complete you can either submit it through our website or bring it in on a flash drive.

Monitors use the RGB (red, green, blue) color model, which usually supports a wider spectrum of colors. Printers use the CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color model, which can reproduce most—but not all—of the colors in the RGB color model. Depending on the equipment used, CMYK generally matches 85–90% of the colors in the RGB model. When a color is selected from the RGB model that is out of the range of the CMYK model, the application chooses what it thinks is the closest color that will match. Programs like Adobe Photoshop will allow you to choose which color will be replaced. Others may not.

Not typically. Because white is the default color of paper, it is simply recognized as the absence of any ink. However, if you want a type or graphic to be printed in white, we can do a reverse flood which is where we flood white paper with whatever color you want and leave the type or graphic in white.

Turn around time for most jobs is one week and often less. However, different jobs require different production times due to ink colors, paper stock, and many other uncontrollable variables. If you need a job in a rush, let us know and we’ll work it out.

The Pantone Matching System (PMS) is a color reproduction standard in which colors all across the spectrums are each identified by a unique, independent number. The use of PMS allows us to precisely match colors and maintain color consistency throughout the printing process on LIPS Printing presses.

Variable data printing is the technology for printing documents so that each piece is personalized to the specific recipient. At the most basic level, this means personalizing a name and address. But for real impact, many projects include unique graphics and content that speaks directly to the recipient.

We work with many types of data files, but excel files are the safest bet. To save time and hassle, make sure your data is properly formatted with each piece of data in separate fields.
