When you decide to have a project professionally printed, it is usually because you want it to look flawless. You want a finished product that looks professional. However, even the best printers cannot perform miracles, and if the original file and design are flawed, the product will appear low quality. Here are four pointers to keep in mind when for your commercial printing techniques.
Put these tips to use for all of your commercial printing needs.
Focus On Your Fonts
If you use the standard fonts on software programs, your printer will also need to have them. However, if you purchase specialty fonts, you must send the font files to the printer. Without them, the printer will open the file and display an undesired look.
Use High-Quality Images
Make sure any images you use in your project are high-resolution. Images should have a resolution of at least 300 dpi. The photos from a digital camera should be suitable for most projects. You can also use a photo editing program to modify images.
Reducing Bleeding Is A Priority
Printed sheets are more significant than your dimensions and must be cut down to fit. If you want images or design elements to flow, they must extend past the edge of your file. This is often referred to as bleed. Printers typically require a 1/8-inch bleed on all sides. This way, if the cuts are slightly off, there will be no unintended white borders within your product.
