Graphics and PhotographyUpdated 2 months ago

To ensure your final print is clean and high-resolution, use vector graphics wherever possible. Vectors are crisp and scale without quality loss — ideal for logos, icons, and text.

If your design includes photographs or raster imagery, image quality matters. Low-resolution files may appear blurry, pixelated, or uneven when printed.

Best practices for image-based designs:

  1. Use high-resolution images — minimum 300dpi

  2. Avoid images saved at screen resolution (72dpi or 150dpi)

  3. Don’t use heavily compressed JPEG files — opt for TIFF or PNG formats where possible

  4. Ensure photos are embedded in your file (not linked)

  5. Avoid stretching low-res images to fill large areas

If your artwork includes gradients, shadows or photographic textures, consider ordering a sample to test how it prints.

Not sure if your image is sharp enough? Send it through and we’ll check it before production.
