Important Print Guidelines
The file's color mode should be in CMYK
- In Photoshop, you can set it to Image > Mode > CMYK Color.
- For InDesign, go to Window > Color.
- In Illustrator, go to File > Document Color Mode > CMYK Color.
The file should be in 300 dpi resolution. Otherwise, your images or enlarged elements will be printed blurred or pixelated.
Follow the bleed while designing your election campaign materials. The artwork's background color or image should go beyond the bleed. Do not leave the space beyond the bleed blank as it will appear white or cut out when printed.
