Essential Guidelines for Flex Printing Files

  • To ensure your flex prints turn out perfectly, follow these tried-and-true best practices:

  • Resolution: Use high-resolution images (300 DPI or higher) to prevent pixelation and blurriness.

  • File Format: Save your files in a print-ready format such as PDF, EPS, or AI.

  • Color Mode: Set your file to CMYK for accurate color printing.

  • Bleed: Add a 1/8 inch bleed to avoid white borders after trimming.

  • ·Fonts: Always embed your fonts or convert them to outlines to avoid unexpected font substitutions.
