All final artwork should have a resolution of at least 300dpi. Most photos that are from the web are low resolution at 72dpi. Printed images always need to be at least 300dpi.
Please note that pixel-based images lose resolution when their size is increased.
Bleed: The extra .125" on each side of your artwork that bleeds off the edge of the piece and ensures your piece will not end up with white borders.
Trim: The final size the printed piece will be.
Safe: The .125" area from the final trim size. Do not place text or important imagery beyond the safe line to avoid it getting cut off when the finished piece is trimmed to final size.
