Common questions
Is the checker really free?
Yes. No sign-up, and your file never leaves your computer.
How much bleed do I need?
Most printers ask for 3 mm of bleed on every side, so colour runs past the trim edge.
What resolution is best for print?
300 DPI at the printed size for items viewed up close. Banners and signs viewed from a distance can be 100–150 DPI.
