Frequently asked questions
Is 300 DPI sufficient for large-format printing?+
For large format viewed at distance, 150 DPI is often sufficient. Use 300 DPI for small-format high-detail items like business cards and flyers.
Should I use PNG or TIFF for professional print production?+
TIFF is the traditional print production standard. PNG is equivalent in quality and increasingly accepted. Check your print provider's specifications.
Will colour profiles (ICC) carry over from the PDF to the PNG?+
The PNG will reflect the rendered colours as seen on screen. ICC profile embedding in PNG is not standard — for colour-managed workflows, use the original PDF.
