How to Prepare Images for Print on Demand

When targeting US-based print providers, understanding the technical specifications is not optional—it is a strict requirement for high-quality results.

1. Resolution (DPI)

Always ensure your artwork is set to at least 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch) at the actual print size before submitting it to the printer.

2. Color Profiles

While screens use RGB, commercial printers use CMYK. Convert your files to the standard US Web Coated (SWOP) v2 profile to prevent unexpected color shifts.
