FAQ

How should I send my files and in what file format?

We can print from a high resolution PDF, TIFF, JPG. It's also helpful to send your native files along with the print file in a package that includes the images and fonts you used to create it. You can send them by clicking on the "SEND FILES" button, or email them to info@quickcolorsolutions.com.

How can I ensure that my project will print well?

Make sure all images are at least 300 dpi, outline your type and make all drawings vector art. If your project bleeds, be sure to include .125" of bleed on all sides of the document. To ensure none of your type will get cut off, it's helpful to set a margin of .125" for type. Sending along your native file with your high resolution print file helps us fix issues in your files and ensures the best quality possible. We're only a phone call away to help you with any questions you have. 336.698.0951
