Tips for printing a QR code
- Your QR code should be a minimum of 20mm x 20mm in size.
- Try not to use a bitmat graphic for a QR code, this can lower the quality making it more difficult to scan.
- Use vector-based QR codes for a sharper print image.
- Make sure the URL link is correct and editable. Remember, once you have printed your QR code and the URL link changes, you may need to buy a new print again.
