File Requirements and Print Quality Policy

To get the best results, please follow these file guidelines when ordering.

Preferred file types

Best (recommended):

·       PDF (best for documents/posters)

·       JPG / PNG (best for photos)

Accepted (may require extra setup):

·       DOC / DOCX (formatting can change)

·       Other formats may be refused or require an additional setup fee.

Resolution (image quality)

·       For the best results, use minimum 300 DPI at the final print size.

·       Low-resolution images may print blurry or pixelated, especially on posters.

Sizing and margins

·       Choose the correct paper size at checkout.

·       Make sure your file matches the selected size (example: 11x17 file for 11x17 print).

·       Keep important text/logos away from the edges (safe margin recommended).

Bleed and trimming (posters/cards)

If your design prints to the edge or will be trimmed:

·       Include bleed (extra background past the cut line), if possible.

·       If no bleed is provided, small white edges may appear after trimming.

Color differences

Colors can look different between screens and printed output. Differences caused by monitor/phone settings are normal and are not considered defects.

Multi-page documents

For multi-page printing, submit a single PDF in the correct order. If you upload multiple files, we will print them in the order received unless you leave clear instructions.

Customer responsibility

Customers are responsible for:

·       spelling and content

·       correct file size and layout

·       selecting the correct options (color/B&W, single/double-sided, paper type, lamination)

We are not responsible for print issues caused by the uploaded file or options selected at checkout.
