Artwork tips for children's books
- Export press-ready PDFs (PDF/X-1a or high quality print). Embed all fonts.
- Set bleeds to 3 mm and keep text inside 10-15 mm safe margins.
- Use high-resolution images; avoid over-saturated RGB primaries that can clip.
- For full-bleed spreads, extend artwork across the spine and allow creep.
- Ask for a printed proof if color-critical.
