5 Common Mistakes When Submitting Artwork for CD DVD Duplication / Replication

One of the major delays that we see in CD DVD duplication and replication projects is errors in artwork. We’ve compiled 5 common mistakes when submitting artwork for us to print.

1. Resolution too low or images are pixilated – This is a very common mistake. Artwork for printing must be 300dpi.

We see a lot of people taking a 72dpi web image then increasing the resolution to 300dpi using Photoshop. This will result in blurry images that will not print well.

2. Template still on artwork – Don’t forget to hide them template for sending your art file(s).

3. Not full bleed – If your artwork has a colored background or image(s) that continue all the way to the edge, we need full bleed. If your artwork does not continue to the bleed margin outlined on our template(s), you will likely end up with white strips along the edges.

4. Artwork not supplied in BurnSmart templates – For best results, use BurnSmart art templates.

5. Center hole cut out of CD DVD artwork – There should be no center hole cut out on your artwork.
