When printing with black color, there are two kinds of black. Most projects are going to be best designed in CMYK mode from the start, but check with your local Center to confirm details. RGB mode colors aren’t achievable with four-color process printing. CMYK is the color mode intended for printing with ink, while RGB is the color mode intended for screen displays and is often the default mode in software. Your project may require your file to be in grayscale, CMYK or color matching. For example, if you want a 4”x 6” postcard printed with full bleed, the file size should be 4.25”x 6.25” with the bleed included. Your file should be sized proportionally to the print size to avoid stretching on your graphics or text. No bleed means there is a white border around your design, so your file size can be the exact proportions of the piece you’re having printed. Extend any color or images outside the document edges by 1/8” (0.125).
A document with a bleed is printed on a larger sheet of paper and trimmed down. Full bleed means that your design will print to the very edge of the paper, extending beyond the trim edge and leaving no white margin. Know ahead of time if you want “full bleed” or “no bleed” printing. This practice will help to avoid pixelated text or images in your design. It is not recommended to place small images at enlarged sizes.
