Why doesn’t the Word file you printed look like the one from my office printer?
The Word file receives fonts and set up from your computer but doesn’t transport this information to our computer. That’s why we require a high resolution PDF for best results.
What is a PDF and how do I create one?
It stands for Portable Document Format
– a file format that compiles a complete description of a fixed layout, flat document including fonts, text, graphics and other information required to display it. In any Microsoft application, in your ‘Save As’ panel select ‘Save as PDF’.
What resolution do you require for photographs, pictures and images?
For an image to print properly, it will need
to be a high resolution file. The standard size is 300dpi at 100% of the physical size you require the image to appear in your printed material.
Can you print images from the internet for me?
There are several issues with images taken directly from the internet. First, these images are mainly 72dpi – this is less than a third
of the necessary print size and will therefore pixilate when you try to print them. There are also copyright issues, as most images from the internet are the property of the owner
of the site – yes, this is policed and the fines are heavy.
However, images sourced from an online stock photography library can be used in artwork files, as long as you have obtained the appropriate copyright approvals and they are purchased at the correct resolution. There are many reputable resources on the internet that can provide images for a reasonable cost.
How do I send large files to you? Our Send File tool can handle large files – it is also secure, quick and an easy way to send your files to your Snap Centre.
What is the maximum size file I can send to you via email? It does vary among Snap Centres, but most have a limit of 4MB.
Do you have an FTP site? Yes, you can use our Send File tool on our website to submit files to your Snap Centre.
