What's Included In Your File Check Artwork Service?
File Check - Don't stress, we got you.
Double-check before you print! Our File Check option is ideal if you've poured your creativity into your artwork but want extra peace of mind before it goes to print. During File Check, we carefully review your file to ensure it meets our high printing standards.
Our expert Pre-Press team uses a mix of automated tools and hands-on checks to review over 60 technical details, making sure your file is 100% print-ready.
If everything looks good, we’ll move straight to printing. If we spot an issue, we’ll email you with a clear explanation and tips on how to fix it.
Please note: while we’re thorough with technical checks, we don’t review your file for spelling, grammar, or copy errors.
For a full breakdown of the 60-point checks we perform, please see here.
We will accept a Print Ready PDF, as well as Print Ready EPS, TIF or JPG files.
