TIPS
- Check if your files are print-ready
Checking whether the resolution is high enough, can easily be done in a PDF reader or image software. Open your file and set the image to at least 200%. What you see now is about the quality in which your file will be printed, since the human eye can see so close up on a print. If it doesn't look good enough > adjust your files (300dpi / dimensions to scale).
- Convert to vector when you can
Vector files provide some of the best printing results. Zoom in very close on your print file to see if the edges, especially the curves and fonts, are still razor-sharp, then that element is made in vector and things will be extra crisp. You can have both vector and image in the same file.
- Advanced File Check
If you are still unsure about the print-readiness of the file, we can review it for you - just add "advanced file check" to your order. Feel free to write if you have a question about anything.
