Artwork for a black only or full colour Self Cover Booklet printed on silk, gloss, and uncoated paper
When preparing your artwork for a black only or full colour Self Cover Booklets printed on silk, uncoated or gloss paper it is important to add 3mm bleed all round the edge of the finished size. It is easy to set up bleed in desktop publishing programs such as Adobe InDesign, CorelDraw or Microsoft Publisher, but is much more difficult in Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Word. Another important artwork consideration is the need to keep any important information away from the edges of the pages of your full colour or black only Self Cover Booklet printed on uncoated, gloss or silk paper. This area without any important text is known as a Quiet Area. The Quiet Area should be at least 3mm wide and if possible 5mm wide. This improves the attractiveness of the design of your black only or full colour Self Cover Booklet printed on silk, gloss or uncoated paper. All artwork is always checked very carefully by our studio before your black only or full colour Self Cover Booklets are printed on silk, gloss or uncoated paper.
