Design Tips for Optimal Printing:

  • For vibrant and colorful posters, canvas prints, apparel, mugs, acrylic, and metallic products, use sRGB image files.

  • When designing brochures, business stationery, or other small-format digital prints, opt for CMYK image files to ensure accurate color reproduction.
