How can I evaluate print quality before a large order?
- Request a Press Check:
Visit the print facility and inspect the press sheets during printing.
- Order a Sample Print:
Obtain a small-scale sample of the printed product before placing a large order.
- Check the Artwork File:
Review the digital artwork file to ensure it meets the resolution and color requirements.
- Use a Proofing System:
Utilize color-accurate proofing systems (e.g., digital or inkjet) to simulate the final print quality.
- Calibrate Your Monitor:
Ensure that your monitor is calibrated to accurately display the colors of the artwork before approving them.
- Specify Print Specifications:
Clearly define the desired paper type, ink type, and finishing options to ensure the best possible result.
- Communicate with the Printer:
Openly discuss your quality expectations with the printer to ensure alignment and avoid any misunderstandings.
