Question

What file format do I need to make custom prints?

Answer

PDF is the preferred format for most custom prints because it locks fonts, colors, and layout exactly as you designed them. Other common formats work too when set up correctly.

FormatNotes
PDFBest choice, preserves everything, embed your fonts
AI / EPSVector art, outline the fonts before saving
PSD / TIFFHigh-resolution raster, flatten before export
JPEG / PNGAcceptable at 300 DPI

Whatever the format, build at a minimum of 300 DPI so the result stays sharp and crisp.
