1. What type of files can I send to 4over?
We recommend saving as a .PDF
You may also send the file in the following types: jpg, jpeg, psd, tif, tiff, eps, ai, and png

We prefer that you send .PDF and .EPS files with outlined fonts. These files are easier to handle and will likely speed up your turn-around. Remember to add crop marks and flatten your files before uploading.

2. What color mode should my files be? (Offset Print) 
If you send us an RGB file, there is a chance that a color shift may occur and you may not be satisfied with your job. You should always start and finish your designs in CMYK color mode.

2A. What color mode should my files be? (Banners and Large Format) 
RGB files are recomended. You should always start and finish your designs in RGB color mode.

3. What resolution should my file be? (Offset Print)
Low resolution files may be printed as is or will be placed on hold until we receive new files, slowing your turn-around. We only accept 300 dpi files and no less.

3A. What resolution should my file be? (Banners and Large Format) 
Low resolution files may be printed as is. You may submit your files at any reolution as long as your final file size does not exceed 100MB, and is not less than 72 dpi. Large format items are intended to be viewed at a distance and therefore the low resolution is not noticeable.

4. How should I set up my bleed and crop marks?
To Bleed or not to Bleed!  Three critical factors to remember when preparing artwork for print are the Safety Line, Cut Line and Bleed Line. Following these guidelines will ensure your orders print correctly.
• Safety Line– any text and artwork you do not want to get cut keep within the "safety" line/area; at least 0.0625" inside the cut line.
• Cut Line – this is where your artwork will get cut.
• Bleed Line – to ensure your job does not have uneven white edges when trimmed, have a bleed of 0.125" around or 0.0625" on each side past the cut line. Make sure the background image or color goes past the cut line, all the way to the bleed line. Always use our templates for optimal results – certain products such as round and oval stickers, booklets/calendars and presentation folders require a larger bleed.

5. Can I submit a front and back in the same file?
No. We are now specifically set up to process one side at a time, and this requires that each side of a job must be on a separate file. Not separating files will cause delays and you might have to send the files again. Remember to separate the pages of your .pdf files as well.

6. What is rich black and how can I get it?
Rich black is an ink mixture of solid black, 100% K, with additional CMY ink values. This results in a darker tone than black ink alone. If you print black alone as 100% K, the resulting black may not be as dark as you might like. We recommend using
C 60 M 40 Y 40 K 100
This will give you a deep, dark, rich black.
