IMAGE SIZE

If your image isn’t created in the size it’s going to be printed, it will distort when we enlarge it. Resizing can also cause unintentional resolution changes.

Check our Guide to Standard Paper Sizes too before you start to get the correct dimensions for your page.

DPI

Images from a webpage are only about 75dpi. Print images need to be 300dpi. A good way to check if your image has enough dpi is to increase it to 300-400% and see if it distorts.

RESOLUTION

Images must be hi-res. Just because it looks okay on your computer monitor doesn’t always mean it will print out well. Because these hi-res images are large files, we’ve created an upload portal for our clients, so you don’t need to worry about how to email such a large file.

Call us if you’re not sure how to set up your file correctly. We’ve been in the business for over 20 years. We know printing, and we’re happy to help.

COLOUR MODEL

The image needs to be set to CMYK, which is the colour model a printing press uses - not RGB. A computer monitor uses RGB so what may look fine at your desk may not look great when it's printed.

INTERNET IMAGES

Not only can images obtained from the internet have copyright issues, when you’re using stock or free images you can run into problems if that image is also being used by another company.

You could end up with your wellness business using the same smiling face as someone advertising fast food so make sure you’re using a quality source.

IMAGE FORMAT

An image saved as a JPG will be compressed a little more every time it is saved. PNG and TIFF are more reliable and work better for quality images.
