Best Practices for Printing Clean, High-Quality Images
- Use High-Resolution Images – For the best print quality, upload images with at least 300 DPI or 1000 x 1000 pixels to avoid pixelation.
- Choose the Right File Format – Use PNG, JPEG, PDF, AI, EPS, or CDR formats. PNG files with transparent backgrounds work best for logos and graphics.
- Avoid Low-Quality or Compressed Images – Screenshots, small web images, or highly compressed files can appear blurry or pixelated when printed.
- Ensure Sharp Contrast – Use colors that stand out against the background for better visibility and clarity. Avoid placing similar shades next to each other.
- Outline Small Text – If your design includes fine details or small text, adding a slight outline can improve readability.
- Check for Transparency Issues – If using a transparent background, make sure there are no unwanted transparent areas that could affect the print.
- Keep Artwork Within the Safe Print Area – Make sure your design stays within the imprint box to avoid cropping or misalignment.
- Preview Before Finalizing – Zoom in and check details before submitting your design to ensure everything looks sharp and clear.
Our design team reviews all designs and will reach out if any adjustments are needed to ensure a flawless print! 😊
How to Check the DPI of Your Artwork Image
To ensure your artwork meets the 300 DPI (dots per inch) requirement for high-quality printing, follow these steps to check its DPI:
On Windows:
- Right-click the image file and select Properties.
- Go to the Details tab.
- Look for Horizontal Resolution and Vertical Resolution—this is your DPI.
On Mac:
- Right-click the image file and select Get Info.
- Under More Info check the Dimensions and Resolution (DPI).
Using Adobe Photoshop:
- Open the image in Photoshop.
- Click Image > Image Size.
- The Resolution field will show the DPI.
Online Tools:
- Upload your image to an online DPI checker tool (search for "DPI checker" online).
If your image is less than 300 DPI, try resizing it in Photoshop or a similar tool. Keep in mind that increasing the DPI of a low-quality image won’t improve its sharpness—you may need a higher-resolution original.
