PRINTING SPECIFICATIONS

- Check if your files are print-ready
- 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.
