Question
What happens if my image files are in RGB and low resolution?
Answer
Images that are both RGB and low resolution are the two things most likely to make a print look soft or off-color. RGB colors shift when converted for print, and low resolution leaves edges and text fuzzy.
For sharp, accurate results:
- Use CMYK color mode so colors reproduce as expected
- Build images at 300 DPI or higher at final size
- Avoid enlarging small web images, which lowers effective resolution
If a file comes in as RGB or low resolution, it gets flagged during file review and a proof is posted showing the corrections for you to approve before printing.
