Building a better Document.
The better and higher resolution the images are the better and more professional looking project you will end up with. Most all web images are for viewing only, therefore they are 72 dpi, Looks good on a monitor but if you print that it will be pixeled and grainy.

Resolution: 300 Pixels/inch or higher.

Effective Resolution: Scaling effects resolution, bigger= lower, Smaller= Higher.

1. Determine the content of the Project, keeping in mind bleed for any image you want to go all the way to the trim and and type or important elements that might be in the safe margin area that might be cutoff due to cutting mechanics. see the diagram below for reference.

Bleed:Any Background, Color or image that extends to the trim edge should extend beyond the trim by 1/8th of an inch. (This will prevent any white lines appearing if cutting is slightly off. 

Safe Area: Any pictures or type should be kept away from the trim area by 1/8th of an inch, to keep from getting cut off. 

2. Save or export your project out as a PDF using "PDFX1A" settings. Make sure to include crop marks with an offset of .125 inch and bleed is set to .125 of an inch on all sides.
