Question

What file formats should I use when submitting files for printing?

Answer

Print files should come from a design program built for production, not a presentation tool. A print-ready PDF is the reliable choice, while formats meant for slideshows can cause problems.

  • Recommended: PDF, or other professional design formats such as InDesign.
  • Avoid: PowerPoint (PPTX), which is built for on-screen presentations and may not print correctly.
  • Need help: if you are not sure how to create a print-ready file, contact 4OVER4 support to talk through options.

Starting from the right format keeps colors, fonts, and layout intact on press.
