Use High Resolution Images

Ensure that the images you use have a resolution of at least 300 DPI.

Select CMYK Color Mode

In order to ensure high print quality, it is crucial that you set your document's color mode to CMYK.

Convert Fonts to Outlines

Change your artwork's fonts to curves to avoid compatibility issues and printing problems.

Save as PDF-X1a

Save your artwork as a PDF-X1a file for optimal compatibility.

Configure Grey Colors

Set up your grey colors only with black (K), and no C, M, or Y!

Configure Black Colors

Black can actually cause a lot of trouble during printing if not correctly used

Configure Fine Lines
