300 DPI Resolution

CMYK Graphix prints on offset printing presses using the latest in direct to plate technologies. To achieve the sharp, bright color and image reproduction that only an offset press can deliver, images of 300 dpi are required. Your images need to be saved at a resolution of 300 dpi in the final size that they will be used. Some people take images from the internet in preparing their print publication. These internet images are usually only 72dpi in order for the web pages to load quickly. Use of them will result in very poor print quality as type and images will appear blurry and jagged around the edges.

Convert any RGB images to CMYK

By doing your own conversion to CMYK from RGB, you'll maintain better control over your full color images. We use standard value settings in Adobe Photoshop to convert RGB files to CMYK. This may or may not result in the color you want and expected. It's also important to note that RGB color space does not correspond exactly to the CMYK color space. It's possible for you to see colors on your computer monitor (RGB color space) that cannot be reproduced by an offset printing press using the four color process inks (CMYK).
