Quick tips to print perfection

Which file types can I use? arrow
We like to be as flexible as possible, so you can upload your files as PDF, JPEG, TIFF and PNG. PDF's and JPEGs are the most accepted file type across all our products, so we recommend using those wherever possible.
What is bleed? arrow
Bleed is an area of print outside the document that must be added to your artwork before it’s sent off for print. By adding the all-important bleed (a minimum of 3mm on all edges), there’ll be no risk of white space left on your document and it'll be trimmed correctly without cutting into any design. Some products require a different amount of bleed, so be sure to check our downloadable templates to find out the correct amount.
What is safe area? arrow
The safe area is the space inside where your print will be trimmed. Keeping any important parts of your design away from this area will make sure that they aren’t accidentally trimmed off due to the natural movement while your print gets finished. Our downloadable templates will indicate the recommended amount of safe area for your print.
What’s the difference between RGB and CMYK? arrow
​​RGB is the colour gamut used to display images on a computer screen, and stands for Red, Green and Blue. CMYK is the colour gamut used for conventional printing, and stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Unless you’re printing Giclée Fine Art Prints or Photographic Prints, please set up your artwork in CMYK.
What are Versions? arrow
Our Versions service lets you print multiple designs using the same product specifications. For instance, if you have five different designs that share the same size, orientation, and paper stock, you can print them all at once using this service. By opting for Versions, you're increasing your overall quantity, which means you'll enjoy a lower cost per unit. To use Versions, simply select "yes" in the product builder when prompted with "Do you want to print more than one design?". When using Versions, the quantity you enter in the product builder applies to each design. For example, if you choose a quantity of 10 with 5 Versions, you'll receive a total of 50 prints.
What is personalisation? arrow
Personalisation is a simple, cost-effective way to tailor each of your individual prints. You can use personalisation for different text elements like names, addresses, and even personalised messages. However, if the text content on your design is the same for all prints, you don't need personalisation. There are two main options for personalising your print - you can either choose to add the personalised elements to your artwork yourself, or send us your artwork with a placeholder and a CSV containing a list of all the names/ personalised elements, and we’ll merge the two for you.
Why do I need to embed fonts? arrow
If you don’t embed fonts and your document is opened on another computer system that doesn’t have access to the original fonts, different fonts will be substituted instead. This could really affect the look of your finished print. Embedding fonts into your original design will stop them from changing.
Everything you need to know about resolution arrow
Remember to save your artwork out at a minimum of 300dpi resolution. This will ensure that when printed, your artwork quality is as crisp as possible.
Where can I find templates for shapes? arrow
If you've chosen a shape for your print (such as arch, wavy, circle or pebble where available), you'll find templates for these shapes on additional layers within the standard square or rectangular template. Download the template for the correct size, then delete the layers you don't need, leaving the layer for your chosen shape as a guide while creating your artwork. Delete all template layers before saving and uploading your artwork. This will prevent the template from being printed on top of your design.

What should I know before preparing artwork for print?

Here are the 7 key things you need to know before preparing your artwork to be printed with us:

1. We provide downloadable templates:
On most of our product pages, you can find free downloadable templates to help you set up your artwork for print. They’re available in AI, IDML and PDF formats to suit the design software you’re working in. Our downloadable templates include key information on creating artwork as well as instructions on how to save out your print-ready PDF. 

2. You need to include bleed:
Bleed is an area of print outside the document that must be added to your artwork before it’s sent off for print. By adding the all-important bleed (a minimum of 3mm on all edges), there’ll be no risk of white space left on your document and it'll be trimmed correctly without cutting into any design. Some products require a different amount of bleed, so be sure to check our downloadable templates to find out the correct amount. 

3. Keep in mind the safe area:
The safe area is the space inside where your print will be trimmed. Keeping any important parts of your design away from this area will make sure that they aren’t accidentally trimmed off due to the natural movement while your print gets finished. Our downloadable templates will indicate the recommended amount of safe area for your print. 

4. The difference between RGB and CMYK:
​​RGB is the colour gamut used to display images on a computer screen, and stands for Red, Green and Blue. CMYK is the colour gamut used for conventional printing, and stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Unless you’re printing Giclée Fine Art Prints or Photographic Prints, please set up your artwork in CMYK. 

5. Embed your fonts:
If you don’t embed fonts and your document is opened on another computer system that doesn’t have access to the original fonts, different fonts will be substituted instead. This could really affect the look of your finished print. Embedding fonts into your original design will stop them from changing. Find out how to embed your fonts here.

6. Check your image resolution:
For the best print results, all artwork files should be at least 300dpi (dots per inch) when saved at the actual size they will appear in your design. This ensures that your final printed project is sharp and clear, not blurry or pixelated.

7. How to export a PDF:
Exporting your design into a print-ready PDF is easy. We’ve created some handy video guides which will take you through the process which you can find here.

Find lots more artwork tips here, including if you’re printing any special finishes such as foiling. For products with multiple pages, such as Brochures or Booklets, explore our book printing guide here. 

What is a Professional File Check?

For a small fee, an expert member of our technical team will manually review your artwork before it goes to print so you can press 'go' with complete confidence. 


If you've ordered multiple products, you can choose to add a Professional File Check to individual jobs or your entire order. We'll check your file for common print setup issues and, where possible, fix them before production. If we find anything that needs your attention, we'll contact you and place your order on hold until you've updated and re-uploaded your artwork. 

We'll check things like: 
  • Image resolution for print quality 
  • Bleed and safe areas 
  • Page count and page order on folded products
  • Corrupt, blank or password-protected files 
  • Templates left on artwork 
  • Folds, cut lines, drill holes and binding areas (where applicable) 
  • Foil alignment and minimum line widths (where applicable) 
  • Personalisation files and version quantities (where applicable) 

A Professional File Check doesn't include: 
  • Spelling, grammar or proofreading 
  • Design, layout or text sizing advice 
  • Colour accuracy or colour mode checks (RGB/CMYK) 
  • QR code testing 
  • Calendar date checks 
  • Post-print quality inspection beyond our standard production processes 
See a full list of what's included here. 

Adding a Professional File Check won't delay your estimated delivery date, unless we need you to amend and re-upload your artwork after we've reviewed it.

To upgrade to a Professional File Check, simply select the option when you upload your artwork. We'll take care of the rest and let you know if we spot anything that needs your attention before your job goes to print.

What is the exact size of an A2 Poster?

The dimensions of an A2 Poster are 420mm x 594mm or 16.5 inches x 23.4 inches. It is equivalent to two standard A3 sheets side-by-side or four A4 sheets. 


It’s large enough to be easily read and noticed from across a small room. If you want a larger display Poster, consider our A1 or A0 sizes.

What size frame would be required for an A2 Poster?

To frame an A2 Poster, you will need a frame that measures 420mm x 594mm or 16.5 inches x 23.4 inches. Always consider any borders within the frame as this may impact how much of the print you are able to see and you may require a larger size.

Can you print A2 Posters double-sided?

Our A2 Posters come with the option for double-sided printing. This feature is perfect if you're looking to make the most out of your Poster space, whether it’s for a vibrant design on one side and important information on the other, or simply to have double the impact with one poster.

What is the best paper for my A2 Poster?

Choosing the right paper can make a big difference in the quality and impact of your Poster. The best option depends on your specific needs - whether you want something glossy for vibrant colours or matte for easier readability. 


The materials available to print your A2 Posters are: 
  • Silk Paper: A smooth, coated finish that enhances colour and detail, giving your Posters a vibrant, professional look. We recommend adding lamination to Silk stock because it adds a protective layer for extra durability. 
  • Uncoated Paper: A natural, non-coated finish with a soft texture, ideal for a more understated look and easy-to-read text. 

To find out more, explore the pros and cons of each type in our detailed guide.

What size font is recommended for A2 Posters?

For A2 Posters, use 14-16 point font for body text and 36-48 point for headlines. These Posters work best when viewers can get relatively close, making them ideal for indoor displays, restaurant Menus, or small event promotions.

Are A2 Posters suitable for outdoor use?

Our Posters are suitable for indoor use only. However, if you're looking for outdoor printing explore our Outdoor Posters which feature a range of weatherproof materials.

Can you make A2 Posters on Canva?

Yes, you can absolutely make A2 Posters on Canva! 


Here's how to get started: 
1. Click Create a design, then select Custom size. 
2. Select your units then add in the correct dimensions 
3. Design your Poster using Canva's templates, images, and text tools. 
4 When you're done, add 3mm bleed, save in CMYK colour mode and download it as a print-ready PDF for the best quality. 

A quick tip: set your measurements before you start designing, so everything is sized correctly from the get-go. For more information and support visit our Canva page.

How will my A2 Poster be packaged?

Your A2 Poster is carefully rolled, placed inside a durable tube with secure endcaps, and then packed into a protective long rectangular postal box to prevent any creases or bends. If you are placing a bulk order, your Posters will be wrapped in protective bubble wrap and packed flat inside large, double-walled cardboard.

Paper

The kind of paper or material you choose for your print will determine how your colours look. For example, uncoated stocks create a slightly more muted finish than a coated paper or material, which are best for bright colours. Don't forget to consider weight as well. Weight of paper and most materials is measured in GSM (Grams per Square Meter). The higher the number you choose, the thicker it is.
