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.

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.

How to make your own Calendar printable?

Creating a printable Calendar is a breeze with our custom Calendar printing service. Here's how you can get started; create your Calendar using professional design software, options include Canva or an Adobe programme of your choice, personalise it with special dates and events, upload your favourite pictures or photos, and review your design. Finally, to ensure a high quality finish we recommend your design is uploaded in a PDF format at 300dpi resolution with the colour mode set to CMYK.

How to make your own Calendar with photos?

Creating your own photo Calendar might be easier than you expected. The first step would be to start by creating your design, which can be made simple, by choosing a template that many design platforms offer (just make sure it's the right size and includes 3mm bleed) or use our free templates. Next upload your photos in the layout you prefer, for the best results, use high-resolution photos. This will ensure your Calendar looks sharp and professional. A photo Calendar can be a perfect gift or place to showcase your favourite memories!

What is the difference between leaves and pages?

A "page" refers to one side of a sheet of paper, so when you open a Thumb Cut Calendar, you're looking at two pages (top and bottom). A "leaf," on the other hand, is a single sheet of paper in the Calendar, which has two pages (front and back). Therefore, if you have 100 pages, you actually have 50 leaves.

Will the back page of my Calendar be flipped before binding?

To make sure your back page faces the correct way when you receive it, these are the guidelines we follow before binding your single-sided personalised Calendar:

  • If last page contains months, back cover will not be flipped. 
  • If last page doesn’t contain months or shows a preview of all months (i.e., is clearly a back cover), back cover will be flipped. 
  • If your Calendar is double-sided, the back cover will not be flipped. 

What's the difference between our Calendar types?

Single Page Wall Calendars:


Single Page Wall Calendars typically feature both your design and the monthly Calendar grid on a single sheet per month. They’re compact, space-saving, and perfect for those who prefer a clean, uncluttered layout with a clear monthly overview. 

These Calendars include a drill hole at the top, just below the wire binding, making them easy to hang on a wall. 

Double Page Wall Calendars:

Double Page Wall Calendars typically display your design on the top page and the Calendar grid on the bottom page when opened. This format gives more room for large, impactful visuals and a spacious grid - ideal for jotting down notes, reminders, or appointments. 

The hole is placed at the bottom edge when the Calendar is closed, so that when opened, it sits at the top (opposite the wire binding), allowing the Calendar to hang open cleanly. 

Thumb Cut Calendars:  

Thumb Cut Calendars are practical and easy to use. Instead of a traditional drill hole, these Calendars feature a thumb cut wire binding - the same format as Single Page Wall Calendars displaying a single sheet per month, but with a central metal hook integrated into the wire for hanging. 

This hook design is sturdier than a standard drill hole and makes the Calendar easier to flip without wear and tear. 

Desk Calendars: 

Desk Calendars are made to sit upright on your desk or shelf using a built-in stand. Always within reach, they’re perfect for keeping daily plans visible or quickly jotting down reminders - ideal for both workspaces and home offices. 

(Note: Desk Calendars are not designed to be hung and therefore do not include a drill hole or hanging mechanism.)
