Get Print-Perfect Results: Essential Artwork Settings
Ensuring your artwork is print-ready guarantees high-quality results. Here’s a quick guide:
- File Format: Use print-friendly formats like PDF or high-resolution raster files (JPEG, TIFF).
- Color Mode: Set your artwork to CMYK for accurate color reproduction during printing.
- Resolution: Maintain a minimum of 300dpi (dots per inch) at the final print size for crisp visuals.
- Fonts: Embed all fonts or convert text to outlines to avoid font substitution issues.
- Bleed: If your design goes to the edge, add a bleed area (typically 3mm) to account for trimming variations.
- Safe Zone: Maintain a safe zone (around 3mm) for important text or logos to avoid them being cut off during trimming.
Double-check these settings before submitting your artwork for printing!
