Almost all print shops accept materials in the PDF and TIFF formats. Preparing Your Materials for a Printing Company File Formats Supported by Printing Companiesīefore you carry / upload your business card design to a printing company, find out their file format preference. Consider this when designing your card-avoid using too bright colors, because the colors on paper may not always match those you see on the screen. However, printers and other polygraphic equipment use another set of color components: Cyan (blue), Magenta (red), Yellow and Black (this scheme is called “CMYK”). The monitor mixes these three colors to produce other colors. When you design your card, the colors you see on the screen are made up of the following three color components: red, green and blue (such color scheme is known as RGB).
If you still decided to use a low-resolution image, resize it in Swift Publisher to make it smaller-the print output quality will increase. If the image looks acceptable, it will look fine when printed. To check whether your image has enough resolution, zoom in on your document until 600%. So your image must be at a resolution of at least 300 dpi. A picture that looks all right on the screen, may have jagged edges and appear fuzzy when printed.
For images, resolution is crucial for good quality of the printed picture. You may want to use photos and images obtained from a digital camera, scanner or from the Internet.
