Question

What file format should I use for wood printing?

Answer

Printing on real wood works best from a clean, high-resolution file. Because the grain adds its own texture, sharp artwork and strong contrast keep your design legible.

SettingRecommended
File typePDF, AI, or PSD
Resolution300 DPI minimum
Color modeCMYK
Bleed0.125 inch on all sides

Starting from the product template with pre-set dimensions and bleed guides keeps your layout aligned to the exact cut size.
