Additionally, for a $15 fee minimum, our art department can repair most problems with your artwork or uploads. Our designers can repair most common file problems such as missing bleed, resizing files, rotating artwork, formatting text for caution zone, typesetting business cards, making changes to press ready PDF, and fix other common artwork problems. We can also create press ready PDF files from most common software programs.
