Images CMYK or RGB? And What Resolution?

my_artwork_has_low_resolution_images__how_do_I_fix_this.jpgImages used in artwork files for small format print should be high resolution, the standard for which is 300dpi (dots per inch). The lower the dpi of your images, the worse they’ll look when printed, so please bear this in mind when sourcing and manipulating images for your job. Any images above 450dpi will be downsampled to 300dpi in our workflow. For large format print we recommend a resolution of 150 dpi.

 

Images saved directly from websites are likely to be between 72 and 96dpi, and are therefore unsuitable for print.

 

We highly recommend using CMYK images as RGB images will be converted to CMYK in our workflow, and this may result in a small colour shift.

 

When sourcing images, always use professional images as low-quality images will only downgrade your designs.
