Overview

Work through this checklist before you send artwork to a commercial printer. It follows the job from confirming the printer's specifications through document setup, images, colour, type, bleed, export and delivery, so files come back right the first time.

Printing specifications vary by printer, paper and finishing, so the guide is written to be used alongside the printer's own spec sheet, which always wins over generic settings.
