Question

What design issues commonly prevent files from being approved for printing?

Answer

A few common file problems can stop a proof from being generated or block approval. Most involve artwork that runs off the print area or does not match the ordered quantity.

  • Content extends beyond the intended print area and gets cut off.
  • Borders or design elements are not clearly inside the print area versus the white margin.
  • The number of design sets does not match the quantity ordered.
  • Missing bleed or low-resolution images.

When one of these comes up, the team explains what to adjust so you can resubmit a corrected file.
