Printing Guide

Last updated: June 2026

Getting a crisp, true-to-color print of your digital design is easy once you know a few basics. Here's how to get the best results, whether you're printing at home or at a print shop.

1. Check the file resolution

All our designs are exported at 300 DPI (dots per inch), which is the standard for sharp, professional-quality prints. Avoid resizing the file much larger than its original dimensions — this can make it look blurry.

2. Choose the right paper

3. Printing at home

4. Printing at a print shop

Most local print shops or online services (Walgreens, Staples, Vistaprint, local printers) can print straight from the PDF or PNG file. Just mention the exact paper size and finish (matte/glossy) you'd like.

5. Color accuracy tip

Screen colors and printed colors can differ slightly because monitors use RGB while printers use CMYK. Colors may look a touch warmer or cooler in print — this is normal and not a fault with the file.
