What are the 60 point checks included on the File Check service?

On our File Check service, we put your artwork file through vigorous checks to ensure that it meets our high standards for the best possible print result.

In addition to the automated 40-point checks all files undergo upon upload, our skilled Pre-Press team conducts an additional 20-point inspection

Our Pre-Press team will analyse your file for any graphical issues that may cause an undesired print result, meaning you can rest assured that your artwork will be printed as expected.
