How to Create Print-Ready Design Files Using Adobe Illustrator
1. Open Adobe Illustrator, click on "Create New", input your desired finished size, and select the correct units. Set the bleed to 0.125" or 3mm. Choose CMYK color mode and set raster effects to "High (300dpi)".
2. In the newly created document, the white area represents the finished part, while the red lines indicate the bleed area. It is recommended to place guide lines at least 0.125 inches or 3mm away from the trim line to indicate a safe area.
3. When starting your design, make sure to use CMYK color. Ensure that all your images are in CMYK mode and have a resolution of 300 dpi.
4. Extend the background to the bleed area and ensure that important content and text are within the safe area.
5. Once your design is complete, click on "Save" and choose the file type as "Adobe PDF". In the popup window, select "High Quality Print" and check the option "Use Document Bleed Settings" under "Marks and Bleeds". In the "Output" options, choose "Don't Include Profile."
6. Open the saved PDF file and ensure that the size includes the bleed area.
7. Click on "File" - "Properties", check the fonts, and ensure all fonts have the "Embedded Subset" flag.
