File Specifications

Please scroll down to download one of our free templates.

Bleed Format

Please ensure your file has the following dimensions:

18.20'' x 24.20''

After printing we will trim off a 0.10'' bleed on each side. Any background elements or color should reach into this bleed area and last till the very edge of the file. Text and other important graphic elements should keep a safety distance to the inside.

Trim Format (Final Product Format)

Your product will be delivered with the following dimensions:

18'' x 24''

File Dimensions

Please first choose a format from the calculator to see the exact file dimensions.

Bleed 0.1'' (1/10'')

This margin is essential to compensate trimming tolerances. The bleed will usually be trimmed off completely. Please ensure that background images and any bleed objects, which are supposed to reach to the edge of your page, extend into this margin to avoid thin white edges after trimming.

Safety Area 0.08'' (1/12'')

Additionally, please ensure that text and other important graphic elements are positioned at least 0.08'' away from the bleed to the inside. In most cases it doesn't look aesthetically if text stucks too closed to the edge.

Resolution

We print with a 177lpi screen, which provides a resolution of 354 dpi. In order to obtain best results, your file should have a resolution of at least 300 dpi (dots per inch). Files for large formats, like for instance posters, may go below this threshold, however, in no case your resolution should be less than 150 dpi.

Color settings

CMYK is the standard color mode for full color offset printing. Thus, please use the CMYK color mode when creating your file. If, however, we receive files with any different color setting, our system will automatically convert them to CMYK. This may result in slight color deviations which will not be accepted as complaints since we cannot know the original color you had in mind. To avoid color issues, please use our color profile available further down this page.

Inking

The total of the percent values of the four color channels Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black must not exceed 300%. If it does, it will cause an above-average ink application and may not dry properly. As a consequence your printed products may stick together and tear on separation.
For black or gray color please only use the K channel (K = key = black). If your fonts are using three or more color channels, shadows may appear on the prints making the text difficult to read.
To obtain a deep saturated black of strokes and fillings, 40% Cyan and 100% Black are adequate (40/0/0/100). Alternatively you may also use the values 30/30/30/100.

Fonts

For offset printing, please always use Postscript fonts. In rare cases TrueType fonts may cause issues with many professional printing workflows. If TrueType fonts are unavoidable they should be converted to outlines, paths or curves (this function may have different names according to the used software).

File Formats

We prefer multipage PDF files, alternatively you may send us EPS, JPEG or TIFF files. Adobe Photoshop users should always save their files as JPEG or TIFF. If a Photoshop PDF is required, please use Acrobat Distiller to create the PDF (you may download our Acrobat JobOptions further down this page). Please never save a PDF directly from Photoshop.

Page Order

In your PDF file, the first page should be the front and the second page the back. Important for folded double sided products: The first page of your PDF must always include the front panel of your folded product (means the page which is supposed to be the front page after folding)

The use of posters is an effective way to get the message across to your audience. All sizes may work for these announcements depending on the space in which they are placed. A matte coated paper will be a great choice to enhance the readability of small text.

Promotions & Deals Posters

Promotion is not only about the offer or discount, but also about capturing the attention of your target audience with an attractive design and a direct message that sparks the desire to enter your store and take advantage of the special offers. Using a double-sided poster is a great option to double display your message. If it's a colorful design, use a glossy coated paper.

Improve? Not possible! Chilli has hit 100% on every single order of mine for years. Web site is great, online proofing is easy, multiple turnaround options, clear and competitive pricing (very competitive!), and best of all, professional support when you need it! I LOVE CHILLI!!!

I would recommend Chilli Printing to anyone that will listen. Absolutely did an amazing job with the posters I ordered and delivered them faster than anticipated! Best pricing I could find online anywhere.

We love chilli printing. Products arrive well packaged and beautiful!

The posters came earlier than expected. They came out perfect. Really impressed with the cost and quality of the posters.

I used ChilliPrinting for a large work related project and the team was very patient and helpful during the process. The folded posters turned out exactly how we wanted and delivery was very quick! Will be using them again in the future.

Unbelievably fast shipping. I ordered on Tuesday and I got the product delivered by the end of the week. Great service and quality...and price!

Great quality poster printing and fast shipping! Great deals, too!

I've been using Chilli for the last 7 years and could not be happier with their service and their finished products. Chris with Chilli solved three problems for me on my most recent order...would have been a mess if not for outstanding support! Chilli's website is fantastic...prices are competitive...quality is superior...turnaround options to fit every budget and fire drill!

Great seller. Can be trusted. Have ordered several times and each time no issues fast shipping. Thank You and will be back.

Quick beautiful professional quality printing! Will be back to print more books!

Chilli delivered exactly what they promised. Color was accurate, trim exact, density just right. All you can ask of a printer, whether local or online! I'll be back!

Customer support was good. They significantly helped with improving my art file for the posters. Phone support would be better than the online chat. Prices are good and the quality of the posters is great. It took about 2 weeks from when I placed the order to receiving the posters which is a pretty good turn around time. The new customer discount didn't apply which was disappointing..

Great company to work with. This was our 4th set of posters and we couldn't be happier. The process is super easy and fast with proofs sent within hours of submitting our design. They help with corrections to our artwork as well. We would give them more stars if we could. Expect a couple of more orders soon! Thanks again. Inland Ale Works Brewing Co

Posters always come out great and are delivered super quickly! Very happy with this service.

I had a very large digital file for a very large map I wanted to print, The order was processed quickly, the staff asked the right questions, and the print was exactly as I ordered.

High quality of product with fast to receive printing. And reasonably priced!

This is the 3rd time I’ve used Chiliprinting. Quality work and delivered within promised timeline.

the best printing comp thank you for your service

I *loved* the print quality check prior to checking out! I never would have known how high my resolution should be in order to get an appropriately sized print that looked fantastic without this system. Everything turned out beautifully, and I couldn't be happier! Will definitely order from this company again in the future.

Whatever I expected from a printer to do they did and exceeded.

Great quality, pricing and timing!

They delivered quality, value, and on time.

ChilliPrinting did a fantast job, in a short time for a very reasonable price. The quality of the posters I ordered is fantastic and they were very helpful in ensuring I had the correct size and high quality graphic. I will use them again.

Quick turnaround. Great printing. Great pricing!

I’ve used CP two years now and I couldn’t be happier. They’re communicative, helpful and prompt with printing and delivery.

My order was delayed printing. But, they did expedite the shipping and had great customer service. They still have my business.

excellent priced, quick printing services for large format bulk posters!

The quality, price, and speed were all top-notch. The only issue is that one of my boxes got mangled in transit (crushed and ripped open at one end). This damaged about 10-20 posters in the roll. Luckily Chili Printing includes some extras in each roll so I still had enough usable product in the end. So Chili Printing is awesome but the shipping service (UPS) needs to improve.

As usual, the order went smooth and the product is great!

Excellent quality and quick service!

3rd time using Chill Printing for posters and I have yet to have any semblance of criticism. Each time the orders have arrived head of schedule, the quality was impeccable and the pricing is great! 5 Stars

Great customer service and quality

Service was quick and the result was good. I recommend ChilliPrinting.

Fantastic customer service! There was a small hiccup with my initial order but it was quickly and easily fixed and I was able to send out my materials to my customers on time! Excellent work and support!

Very nice customer service. Very helpful. Quick service

Excellent service. I have no notes for improvement.

The website was easy to manage. Printing and shipping options were great. We were able to find one that fit our needs and got our prints for school play in time.

Stunning, beautiful prints every time. ChiliPrinting is my go-to for printing services.

Totally satisfied, I can't believe how great the resolution and clarity in the printing turned out.. Thank you!

I was very satisfied with the upload, proofing and production process. Fast service, low prices and high quality. Nothing to complain about there!

This is my 3rd time ordering calendars and I couldn't be happier with the service I receive. The turn around time is always so quick. Great quality

We ordered posters for a event that we are promoting. They came in a day early and were of good quality. I highly recommend!

The printing quality is excellent! The shipments arrive on time consistently

Order turnover was exceedingly fast! We were expecting our order on January 4th based on our production and shipping selections, and UPS was already notifying us of delivery on December 27th. Impressed at the speed despite the holiday season.

I would recommend Chilli Printing to my piers and colleagues.

Chilli Printing is top notch! Both the customer service, and the quality of the product is excellent! Thank you Chilli Printing!

This was our 4th order and the process could have not been better. The ordering process was easy and shipping was very fast. Keep up the good work. We will be ordering again soon.

As usual, you guys did a great job, and you even reprinted 10 for me as it seemed like we didn't get the full order. Thank you!

Quick service and fantastic work all for a great price. I’ve used them twice within 2 months and was impressed each time! Their customer service is quick to reply with any questions you have, too.

Outstanding customer service and quality products. Exceeded my expectations beyond anything I could have imagined. They’ve certainly earned my business.

The poster printing resolution is fantastic! Thank you!

Fantastic and speedy customer service. My address is difficult and with each order the team gets to it right away. And my order almost always arrives early!

Love the short run option on posters allowing quantity combos on several designs-the quality of the recent posters received was good and arrived very well packaged without any damage. I will use chillis again. I find the website easy to use. The communication was complete and the order shipped in a timely manner. Thank you for fine service and professional work.

User-friendly, affordable, fast turnaround time

My book turned out beautifully! I only wish that I had payed better attention and made it a hardcover book like it was meant to be.

I love using this place service is is very fast and the customer service team is very nice and helpful

Excellent quality, fast turnaround and great pricing.
