What is CMYK?
In offset printing, the standard color mode used in CMYK. CMYK, or Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & Black represent the four process colours in this mode. When you are creating your files, be sure to check the color mode as programs like Photoshop by default use RBG color, not CMYK. CMYK may look more dull on a computer screen than RGB; more noticeable in large solid color areas.
Accepted File Formats
We require industry standard formats for all uploaded files. We keep quality in mind when we print every job. We accept the following file formats: TIF – JPG – PDF – EPS – PSD. We accept CorelDraw, Pagemaker & Quark or similar files by converting them to industry standard graphic formats like JPG, TIF or PDF.
Rich Black vs 100% Black
Large black areas or fonts bigger than 36 points should use Rich Black which stops areas appearing gray. Rich Black is created with 30% Cyan, 30% Magenta, 30% Yellow, 100% Black. This setup will keep black areas looking rich and bold. For best results with regular body text, do not use Rich Black.
What Paper to Choose?
Paper should be addressed first in your design work. With postcards, the best option is to choose a thicker cardstock instead of a thinner text weight. The difference between these 2 types of paper is thickness. Our text weight is based on pounds and our card stock is weighted by points. Want to feel the difference? Order a Free Sample Kit today.
What is Font Outlining?
We might not have the same fonts on our systems as your computer, so when saving your files in a vector based program (Illustrator, InDesign, Quark, CorelDraw) please outline your fonts. This will convert them to a vector image, will not effect the clarity and will allow us to see the same text as you see on your screen.
Coating Types
We have many coating options at Printing New York. Matte, UV, silk and spot UV. Choose the coating based on your application. For example, if you want to write on your cards with a pen, do not choose UV coating as a pen won’t write on it. In this case a matte or uncoated stock coating would suit. Choose UV coating for flyers or banners and our rich silk gives a touch of elegance; 16pt stock a more durable feeling.

Printing New York never disappoints. I purchased postcards to use as displays for our items, and they turned up beautifully. We appreciate their excellent client service. There was a minor hiccup with our postcard order at first, but it was quickly resolved (software issue). I strongly advise you to use them for your printing requirements!

I’m blown away by how simple the procedure was, how high-quality the postcards were, and how quickly we received them! It’s amazing that we were able to get them in one day, just days before Christmas!

I used these postcards to distribute themed recipes and will continue to do so at vendor gatherings. I like the 5×7 size because it’s not too big to get lost in the shuffle. I keep coming back because of the high quality of the print and delivery.

Our postcards came out even better than we had hoped. I enjoy how thick the pictures are and how brilliant they are. Thank you very much.

Quick turnaround on high-quality printed items. Also, the pricing is reasonable. However, I’d like to see additional delivery options. They, on the other hand, do an excellent job.
