GENERAL FAQs
-
You can print from home or a local office supply place (Office Max, Fed Ex, Walgreens etc.).

Keep in mind that computer screens use RGB color mode, making colors appear brighter due to backlighting, while printers use CMYK color mode, often resulting in more subdued prints. Neon colors seen on screen may not be as vivid when printed.
The type of paper affects color intensity too; matte paper leads to less vibrant prints as it absorbs ink, whereas glossy paper enhances color vibrancy through reflection. For more vivid printed colors, color management is key.
Here's how to manage colors:
- Open your design.
- Navigate to File > Print.
- Select PRINT SETTINGS.
- In the MORE OPTIONS tab, under COLOR CORRECTION, choose COLOR CONTROLS.
- Switch the color mode to ADOBE RGB.
- Adjust Gamma to 2.2 for standard brightness, or to 1.8 for higher brightness.
- Fine-tune using the color wheel until the desired result is achieved.

1. **Use a Computer for Printing or Sending the File**:
- If you're printing directly, make sure your computer is connected to a high-quality printer that can handle the file's resolution.
- If you're sending the file to a print service, use your computer to do so. Phones may alter the size or quality of the file.
2. **Download and Upload the File for Sending**:
- Rather than forwarding the file directly via email, which could potentially alter its format or quality, first download the file to your computer.
- After downloading, create a new email and upload the file as an attachment. This helps maintain the original quality and format.
3. **Consider File Format and Resolution**:
- Ensure the file is in a suitable format (like PDF, JPEG, or PNG) for printing. Different printers and services have different requirements.
- Check the resolution of the file. For high-quality prints, a higher resolution is preferable.
4. **Check with Your Printing Service**:
- If you're using a professional printing service, it might be helpful to check with them about their preferred file format and resolution to ensure optimal print quality.
By following these steps, you should be able to maintain the quality of your file for printing.
