Image Quality & Resolution
To ensure your printed materials are crisp and high-quality, all images must meet professional standards before export.
Resolution: All images should have a resolution of 300dpi or higher.
Quality: Low-resolution images may appear pixelated or blurry once printed.
Fonts & Typography
To prevent layout issues or missing characters, your fonts must be properly processed.
Embedding: Ensure all fonts used in your artwork are embedded within the PDF file.
Outlines: Alternatively, you can convert all text to outlines to ensure the design remains intact regardless of the printer's software.
Colour Mode & Accuracy
Screen colours (RGB) do not translate directly to ink. Correcting your document setup is vital for colour accuracy.
CMYK Setup: Your document colour mode must be set to CMYK.
Automatic Conversion: Any artwork submitted in RGB will be converted to CMYK automatically, which may result in a slight colour shift.
Bleed, Crop Marks, and Dimensions
Precise finishing requires specific markings and extra artwork area to avoid white borders after trimming.
Bleed: A 3mm bleed must be included within your exported artwork.
Crop Marks: Export your file with crop marks shown to indicate exactly where the artwork should be trimmed to its finished size.
Matching Specifications: Ensure your artwork matches the exact dimensions and orientation of your order.
Files that do not match these technical specifications will be rejected to avoid printing errors. Please double-check your PDF against this checklist before uploading.
