Frequently Asked Questions
What can we print?
We are a digital printing shop that can print just about anything that is paper-based. These include manuals, booklets, posters, business cards, postcards, invitations, etc. We can also print big such as tarpaulin, stickers, sintra boards, standees, wall murals, vehicle wraps, etc. We do not do any screen printing like the ones on shirts, mugs and bags. We do, however, print on canvass (similar material used for paintings) which makes for excellent photo artworks.
What is the minimum order?
The good thing about digital printers like InterMatrix (unlike offset printers/printing press) is that we have no minimum print orders. We will print according to your needs, be it one flyer or 500 brochures.
Digital Printing vs. Offset Printing, what’s the difference?
In digital printing, your electronic file is printed directly to the media by the machine. It’s just like you’re printing with your desktop printer at home. Offset printing, on the other hand, is a bit more complicated. The design image is first burned onto a plate, and is then transferred from the plate to a rubber sheet, and finally to the media.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR ARTWORK
Image Size
We strongly suggest that the artwork you send is at the actual size you want it printed. That means when we open the file, and it opens at 8 inches wide x 10 inches tall, we will know you want it printed at 8 x 10 inches.
Resolution
For best print results, it is highly recommended that the resolution of the file is at 300 dpi, especially for smaller artworks. For bigger print collaterals such as tarpaulin billboards, 100 dpi resolution will suffice.
File Format
PDF is the most recommended file format. JPG, PNG, TIFF and flattened PSD files are also acceptable.
Color
Files set in both RGB and CMYK are acceptable, but the latter (CMYK) will yield to colors close to what you see on the screen. RGB files, on the other hand, appear more vibrant onscreen, but the print output may not be the same. It’s safest to set the file in CMYK as digital printers work within the CMYK gamut.
Graphic Design Tips
For files that include mostly text (i.e. business cards, booklets, magazines, flyers, etc.), it is best to create it in InDesign. Then save as PDF.
For files that have graphics, drawings, logos (i.e. posters, cards, banners, stickers, etc.), the best program to use would be Illustrator. Photoshop, although not highly recommended, is acceptable too.
Save the files as either PDF, TIFF, PNG JPEG, AI or flattened PSD. For photographs (i.e. posters, canvas, lifesize standees), Photoshop is your best bet. Save the file as PDF, TIFF, PNG JPEG or flattened PSD.
