Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats does Printulu Artwork Doctor accept?

Printulu Artwork Doctor accepts PDF, AI, JPG/JPEG, PNG, and TIFF files. PDF is recommended for print-ready artwork.

What is bleed and why is it important?

Bleed is the area beyond the trim edge of your design. It ensures that when your piece is cut, there are no white edges. We recommend 3mm bleed on all sides.

What DPI should my artwork be?

For professional printing, artwork should be at least 300 DPI (dots per inch). Lower resolution may result in pixelated or blurry prints.

Should I use RGB or CMYK color mode?

CMYK is recommended for print as it matches the four-color printing process. RGB is for screens and may result in color shifts when printed.

What are safe margins?

Safe margins (typically 5mm from the trim edge) ensure that important text and elements aren't cut off during the printing process.
