Set the final trim, then export.
Make sure the document is built for the intended finished trim, not only the screen layout. If a project needs bleed, spine allowance, folds or a die-line, ask for the relevant production template before exporting the final artwork.
Prepare images and text for production.
- Use source images that remain clear at the intended printed size; the Image Resolution for Print Guide gives a practical way to inspect them.
- Check small text, fine lines and reversed-out type at the final scale.
- Embed or outline fonts only when your project instructions call for it.
- Keep linked graphics, versions and approvals organised until the proof is approved.
Export a reviewable PDF.
PDF/X settings, colour profiles, crop marks and bleed should follow the project template rather than a blanket rule. If your artwork is still in progress, share a PDF proof and tell us what is likely to change. If an automated report is part of the handover, use the Automated Print Preflight Guide to keep its technical findings separate from the content decisions a person must still approve.
Keep sensitive artwork out of the first enquiry.
The quote form accepts a project description and, if helpful, a secure link. If the project progresses, we will confirm a private file-handover route for the artwork.
