Please provide these items within 20 calendar days to help keep the building process moving forward.  Materials submitted after 30 days may be billed at our hourly rate (2).

  • Animated GIF images
  • Shockwave Animations

Printing & Design Services

HM Print & Design offers the highest quality and the lowest prices on full color printing.

We will try to match any competitive pricing for full-color printing of comparable quantity and quality.

Please note that due to the nature of our full-color printing (CMYK), we cannot print every color available. We do not color match ; therefore, we offer print industry’s standard phrase of respectable color and will make every rational effort to print your product as close to the colors you have provided as possible.

HM Print & Design can develop all your graphic and design needs. If you want or desire to submit your own art please use these guidelines to meet correct printing needs.

We offer Replacement Satisfaction Guarantee to our first-time retail customers for the print products that we sell. This includes business cards, postcards, envelopes, letterhead and etc. If you are not entirely satisfied with the finished printed product you can send it back to us for a full refund of the printing cost only. Any products ordered with a subtotal over $100.00 are considered to be a large order. It is recommended that you first place a small order before placing a large order for this guarantee to be valid; that way you will know exactly what quality to look forward to.

HM Print & Design will correct errors of improper cutting, print quality, color and print shift. As a customer, you are responsible for submitting print ready files, unless we are creating these files for you of course. This includes full bleed to your press-ready digital files by adding 0 .1″ dimension for business cards, postcards and rack cards, add 0.125″ for all other products.

All file formats must have a minimum of 350 dpi (dot per inch) resolutions.

All color artwork and/or images must be provided in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) color mode and black & white artworks and/or images must be provided in grayscale.

If any issue should arise with the printing of your product, please click here which will direct you to the contact page. From there, describe the problem or issue in as much detail as possible.

We send layout and design proofs for all orders before printing. Please be sure to check your email regularly for these emails as your order will be on hold until we get an approved notice.

Preparing Files

For best results please follow our guidelines.

FILE FORMAT:

We accept the following file formats TIF, TIFF, JPG, EPS, PNG, AI, PSD, and PDF.

Preferred formats are: CorelDraw up to X7, Adobe Illustrator up to CS5, EPS all fonts converted to outlines in any case.

FILE SIZE:

The maximum acceptable combined file size for all uploads is 25MB (megabytes).

RESOLUTION:

All file formats must have a minimum of 350 dpi (dot per inch) resolution.
The images designed for the web are done at a low screen resolution of 72 dpi. Print images need to be created at 350 dpi or there will be a substantial drop in the image quality.

COLOR MODE:

All color artwork and/or images must be provided in CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color mode.
All black & white artworks and/or images must be provided in grayscale color mode.
Heavy black ink might cause smearing. HM Print & Design can correct most color issues, but color shift and changes may occur.

BLEED:

What’s a bleed?

Bleed is the portion of the product that will be trimmed off when it is cut to the final size.

Why bleed?
The purpose of a bleed is to continue a color, image, or design to the edge of the product. Due to the possibility of shifting in the trimming process, a bleed is required to ensure that a white line does not show on the edges of your product.

We require ALL files to be built to the full bleed dimension specified for each trim size.

We automatically trim the bleed off of each side, which will result in the desired trim size.

For example: all business cards except for the 2″ x 3.5″ with round corners and 2.17″ x 3.35″ with round corners require a 0.1″ bleed to each dimension (or 0.05″ bleed on all four sides). Thus, a 2″ x 3.5″ business card would have a bleed size 2.1″ x 3.6″. Please contact us if you need a template.

Please build your print-ready digital files by adding the appropriate bleed to your file.

Add 0 .1″ bleed to each dimension (or 0.05″ bleed on all four sides) for the following products:

  • business cards (For the 2″ x 3.5″ with round corners and 2.17″ x 3.35″ with round corners, add 0.325″ bleed)
  • bookmarks
  • CD packages
  • club flyers
  • collectors cards
  • DVD packages
  • event tickets
  • postcards (For the 4″ x 6″ postcard with round corners and 5.5″ x 8.5″ postcards with round corners, add 0.325″ bleed)
  • rack cards
  • rip business cards
  • rolodex
  • stickers
  • table tents
  • tent cards

Add 0.125″ (1/8″) bleed to each dimension (or 0.0625″ bleed on all four sides) for the following products:

  • brochures
  • door hangers
  • envelopes
  • flyers
  • hang tags
  • letterhead
  • mini menus
  • notepads
  • posters
  • staggered cut flyers
  • posters (wide)
  • banners
  • window clings
  • window decals
  • yard signs

Add 0.325″ bleed to each dimension for all special shapes.

Add 0.1875″ bleed to each dimension for roll labels (or 0.09375″ bleed on all four sides for square or rectangle roll labels).

Add 0.225″ bleed to each dimension (or 0.1125″ bleed on all four sides) for presentation folders, except for the 9″ x 12″, which has a bleed of 0.3″.

Add 0.375″ bleed to each dimension (or 0.1875″ bleed on all four sides) for booklets, calendars, and catalogs.

CROP MARKS:

Please build your press-ready digital files by adding crop marks.
Lines indicating where the paper should be cut to produce the correct size. Zones

FONTS:

a. Fonts must be embedded in PDF files.

b. Fonts must be outlined or converted to paths or curves in EPS files.

c. Some fonts have copyright restrictions and will not embed in PDF Files.

d. Quark Express: Fonts and images must be included with all files submitted. (Mac only)

SAFE ZONE:

All critical elements (text, images, logos, etc.) must be kept at least 0.125″ inside the edge. Anything left close to edge may be cut off during trimming.

BORDERS:

Please allow 1/16″ cutting space around your card. No borders are recommended, as shifting in the cutting process may make borders appear uneven.

PERFECT BINDING:

We do not recommend crossover images and/or copy, as these elements may be lost in the gutter and may not line up after binding.

Please keep all critical images and/or copy within the Safe Zone to ensure these elements are clearly visible and there are no line-up registration issues when the product is bound.
