            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.

            Got a question? We might have answered it here. If not, feel free to get in touch with The Team, we’re here to help!

            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.

            How do I print with Canva?

            Printing with Canva is quick and easy with Printed.com. Select your product, create your artwork in Canva, and export it as a print-ready PDF. Once uploaded to Printed.com, we handle the rest! 

            For help with accurate sizing, bleed and export settings, please visit our Canva Support page for step-by-step guides and video tutorials. Plus, you can explore our library of free pre-formatted Canva templates to get started.

            Which laminations can I add?

            For a high-shine finish, add Gloss Lamination to your board. It enhances colour and gives your printed design a smooth, polished finish. 


            As part of our efforts to print more sustainably, we no longer offer Matt Lamination on selected board substrates. These materials already have a naturally matt finish, with a durable surface coating that provides the protection they need without an additional laminate. 

            Looking for a combination you can’t find? Get in touch with our Bespoke Team who can bring your vision to life.

            Can I print double-sided on my Foam Board?

            Yes, you can! Our Foam Boards are perfect for double-sided printing, ensuring your designs look sharp and vibrant on both sides. This is especially handy for projects like retail displays or creative exhibitions that need visibility from multiple angles.

            What are Versions?

            Our Versions service allows you to print more than one design with the same product specification. For example, if you have five different Foam Board designs all on the same size, orientation and substrate, you can use Versions to print them all in one go. Using Versions means that you're printing a higher quantity and therefore will benefit from a lower unit cost. 


            To use Versions just choose "yes" in the product builder when asked "Do you want to print more than one design?". If you're using Versions, the quantity you choose in the product builder is per Version. For example, choosing a quantity of 2 and 5 Versions means you'll receive 10 Foam Boards in total.

            What is the difference between Foamcore and Foamex?

            Foamcore and Foamex are both versatile materials, but they serve different needs. Foamcore is lightweight, cost-effective, and ideal for short-term indoor projects, while Foamex is durable, weather-resistant, and perfect for handling heavier use and outdoor conditions. Both can be customised and laminated for added strength and vibrancy, making them adaptable to various applications.

            Foamcore is a lightweight and versatile material that’s perfect for temporary indoor signage, such as event displays, retail setups, or presentations. It features a soft foam interior sandwiched between two sheets of card, giving it a smooth surface that’s easy to print on. However, due to its softer structure, Available in 3mm and 5mm thicknesses, Foamcore is best suited for short-term use, as it isn’t designed to handle prolonged exposure to wear and tear. 

            Foamex, on the other hand, is made from rigid PVC, offering a much more durable and weather-resistant option. Its sturdiness makes it ideal for both temporary and permanent displays, whether indoors or outdoors. Available in 3mm, 5mm, and 10mm thicknesses, Foamex is highly versatile and can be used for anything from exhibition boards to outdoor advertising, thanks to its ability to withstand the elements. 

            Both materials excel in their respective roles, offering practical and creative solutions for various signage and display needs.
