Contact thiaprint today for all your design and layout needs! If you prefer to set up your own artwork, please check out the FAQ's below and do not hesitate to ask for help!
What file formats does thiaprint accept?
We recommend saving as a .PDF
You may also send the file in the following types: jpg, jpeg, psd, tif, tiff, eps and ai
We prefer that you send .PDF and .EPS files with outlined fonts. These files are easier to handle and will likely speed up your turn-around. Remember to add crop marks and flatten your files before uploading.

What color mode do my files need to be?
You should always start and finish your designs in CMYK color mode. If you send us an RGB file, there is a chance that a color shift may occur and you may not be satisfied with your job.
Can I set up borders on my full color print orders?
Yes, but if the border is too close to the cutline, it may be cut off-center slightly. We cut through many sheets at a time, so watch your borders to avoid an unwanted mistake.
How do I set up my files with proper rotation?
thiaprint requires your double sided Print Ready files with proper rotation. Files submitted are printed HEAD to HEAD as-is based off your files. Make sure to set up your files so that when we print them HEAD to HEAD the final product will read the way you would like. Also, front and back files need to be set up either both sides vertically or both sides horizontally.
How do I save to PDF?
When exporting from any program such as Indesign or Illustrator, use these settings to make sure your .PDF files export correctly.

Please allow .125" border for bleeds and do not place text any closer than .125" from the edge of the cut marks.
