What file specifications do I need for clear text and image printing?

Clear, sharp printing comes down to a few file basics: build the file at its true final size, use high-resolution images, and keep text at a legible size. Files that are blurry or pixelated on screen will usually print that way too.

• Correct size: set the file to the final print size, not oversized to be shrunk down.
• Resolution: use images at 300 DPI or higher.
• Legible text: keep type large enough to read cleanly at final size.
• Proof check: review the proof for any blur or pixelation.

If images or text look soft in the proof, contact the team before approving, since that usually points to a file issue worth fixing before production.
