1. What type of files can I send to God-Like Printing Company?
You may send .jpg, .jpeg, .psd, .tif, .tiff, .eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf, and .png
We prefer that you send .PDF and .EPS files with outlined fonts. These files are easier to handle and will likely speed up your turnaround. Remember to add crop marks and flatten your files before uploading.
2. What color mode should my files be?
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.
These colors are RGB
These are the same colors but in CMYK
You should always start and finish your designs in CMYK color mode.
3. What resolution should my file be?
Low resolution files may be printed as is or will be placed on hold until we receive new files, slowing your turnaround.
This is a 72 dpi low res image
This is the same image but at 300 dpi
We only accept 300 dpi files and no less.
4. How should I set up my bleed and crop marks?
Bleed must extend further than the cut line. Using our Templates can help visualize this. Please keep all text and anything you do not want cut at least .125" away from the cut line.
When sending an .eps or .pdf, make sure you include crop marks so we can cut the job correctly.

5. How should I set up my file for proper rotation?
Do not send your files rotated if both sides read the same way.
When one side reads different than the other, you should align the file how you want them printed before you send the files.
For files not properly set up, God-Like Printing Co. will use best judgment and will not be resposible for improper rotaion.
6. Should I send a proof or sample file?
When sending artwork, do not send extra files, like proofs or samples, because they might get printed. Only send the files you need printed. We are not responsible for these kind of files being printed. Unless requested by one of our employees, DO NOT send files that you do not want printed.
7. What is overprint, and how can it ruin my file?
Primarily used to intentionally overlap inks for a number of reasons, overprint can cause unexpected results. We suggest that you turn all overprint objects off before submitting your files. Unexpected results may occur if you have accidentally set certain objects to overprint. Always check artwork before submitting.
8. Can I submit multiple files in one document?
No. We are now specifically set up to process one side at a time, and this requires that each side of a job must be on a separate file. Not separating files will cause delays and you might have to send the files again. Remember to separate the pages of your .pdf files as well.
You may zip (compress) multiple files into one zip document for upload purposes.
9. How should I set up a Spot UV job?
When creating a Spot UV job, You must include a Spot UV template file along with the regular full color file. The Spot UV template file is used to show where the UV will be placed.
Use 100% K to indicate where you would like the UV. White will indicate no UV.
Remember "If it's white, you can write"
