Whether you’re printing on a digital or offset press, you can consult our graphic design print checklist to make sure your order is print-ready.
MahaMeru Bali pre-press quality checklist includes :
- Text and image safety check
We check to make sure your text and images are within the safety lines so none of your design elements are cut off. No printing checklist is complete without this check! - Bleeds and cut lines check
We make sure backgrounds and edge elements are aligned wit the bleed and cut lines to ensure accurate cutting during the finishing process. - Size compatibility
We double check your artwork to ensure it’s in the size you select for your printed piece. - Resolution in 300 DPI
We confirm your artwork is rendered in 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch) resolution for clear, crisp printing. Lower resolutions will be grainy when printed. - Borders check Eliminate double crop marks
You do not need to use crop marks when printing with PsPrint. However, if you do, our prepress experts make sure your image is centered and cover the crop marks so they don’t show up on your final image. - Convert to Rich Black
We double check the solid black areas in your design and convert any 100% Black (K) into Rich Black: 50% Cyan (C), 40% Magenta (M), 40% Yellow (Y), and 100% Black (K). Black on its own will not result in a solid, saturated black color, but Rich Black is a mix of CMYK colors that produces a much darker, deeper black on the press than can be achieved by using black ink alone ( detail ) - Drop outs check
We review your artwork for faded or eliminated color and copy, also known as drop outs. - Watermark
We carefully inspect your piece for watermarks – translucent logos in paper typically created to prevent counterfeiting. - Check for proper orientation
Printing folded and multi-panel pieces can sometimes be confusing when it comes to proper layout, especially for brochures and printing multi-page book lets. We make sure your images are oriented in the correct direction – not upside-down or backwards. - Perforation and score safety check
If your printed piece calls for perforations or scores, we check for proper placement. - FPO file check
If your project calls for die-cuts or foil stamps, or if you need hole drilling, scoring, or a perforation, we make sure your “For Placement Only” file is present prior to printing. - Convert RGB to CMYK Color Format
Since RGB color (Red, Green, Blue) are only good for monitor, RGB color format can result in a unsatisfactory print, we check to ensure your colors are compliant for the press and convert to CMYK ( Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) or 4 (four) color format.
