Files ready now

Use upload-first products or the quote form when artwork is already prepared and you want faster review.

Need a file check

If bleed, sizing, colour, or resolution still feel uncertain, send the file anyway and ask PrintMe to review it before print.

Need design help

If the artwork is incomplete, outdated, or not printable yet, use the quote path so design support can be scoped first.

Preferred file formats

Print-ready PDF is the safest choice. JPG, PNG, TIFF, EPS, AI, PSD, and ZIP packages can also be reviewed when a project needs source files or linked assets.

Colour setup

CMYK is recommended for predictable print colour. RGB files can still be reviewed, but some colours may shift when converted for production.

Bleed and trimming

Include bleed when background colour, photos, or artwork extend to the edge. Keep important text inside the safe area so it is not affected by trimming.

Image resolution

Use 300 DPI for most cards, flyers, brochures, documents, and posters. Large-format signs and banners may use lower effective DPI depending on viewing distance.

Fonts and links

Outline or embed fonts where possible. If you are sending editable source files, package linked images and fonts in a ZIP file.

Review before submission

Check the final size, spelling, quantity, sides, finish, deadline, and pickup or delivery preference before uploading.

Before you upload

Avoid the common print delays

File is built at the final print size

Images are high enough resolution for the product

Colours are set for print or ready for our team to review

Bleed is included when artwork reaches the edge

Important text and logos stay inside the safe margin

Fonts are outlined, embedded, or packaged with source files

Final file has been checked for spelling, dates, and contact details

Not sure if your file is ready? Upload what you have. A review before production can prevent sizing, bleed, colour, and font issues.

Artwork workflow

What PrintMe checks after upload

1. File uploaded

Your artwork has been attached to a quote, order, product request, or account.

2. Awaiting review

PrintMe checks file size, format, bleed, resolution, and production details before printing.

3. Proof or changes

If something needs attention, our team can request a revised file or provide a proof for approval.

4. Approved for print

Once details are confirmed, the file can move into production for pickup or delivery.

If the file is not ready yet, that does not stop the job. PrintMe can still guide the safest next step through quote review or design help first.
