Basic Design

Live area is 2.2" wide x 5.25" high. No bleed. Can be vertical or horizontal.

Technical Notes

Adobe InDesign CS6 documents are preferred. Supporting graphics should be EPS vector files or TIFF images. Include all fonts.

We can accept other file types (high resolution PDFs, Illustrator, or Photoshop), but everything must ultimately be placed into InDesign for printing.

Special Considerations

No heavy ink coverage. Receipt paper is very thin. All colored or knockout type should be 12 point or larger and not too thin.

No 4-color blacks. Black areas should be black plate only. RGB images that are converted to CMYK usually cause this problem.

No RGB images. Especially those with black or very dark areas. Everything is ultimately converted to CMYK and the colors will look different on press.

Receipts are gang-printed with other graphics on a large format web press. Adjustments may be necessary for: font conflicts, complex graphics, flattening, rasterization, etc.

Include spot colors in layouts and logos where applicable. PMS colors will be converted at press.
