How do I manage my print files?
You can view and manage all your print files in File Library.
Upload files
You can click the “Upload" button to upload a single file or batch files. Once uploaded, these files will appear in the "My Files” section.
Manage files
If you mouse over an uploaded file, you will see a checkbox appears in the top left corner of the image. Choose a file by ticking the box, then you can move it to another folder, download it to your computer, or delete it. You can also rename the file by clicking on the original name under the image.
Create a new folder
On the “File Library” page, click the "New Folder" button to create a new folder. The new folder can be found in the "My Folder" section.
Manage folders
When you hover your cursor over a folder, two small icons will pop up in the top right corner, meaning you can either rename the folder or delete it.
Upload files to a particular folder
Open a folder, click on “Upload", and add files to this folder.
Which color profile should I use for my files?
Understand the difference between RGB and CMYK
RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue. It is used when images are displayed on electronic screens(computers, digital cameras, and so on).
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. It is the color scheme used for printing physical items.
Naturally, there is a small color change when RGB colors are converted into CMYK colors.
How to prevent unwanted surprises
Before printing, your print file will be converted into CMYK color mode, which could result in a slight difference between what you see on your screen and the actual printed product.
If your print file was created in RGB color mode, we recommend you use a design app such as Photoshop to convert it into CMYK color mode and preview the difference.
What are the print file requirements?
The image you upload should meet the following requirements:
1. The size of each image should not exceed 50M;
2. The file formats supported are PNG and JPG; if an image has transparent pixels, PNG format is highly recommended;
3. The image DPI(dots per inch) should be at least 75, preferably over 150.
If the DPI is not high enough, the design may turn out to be pixelated. Higher DPI ensures that details can be printed out perfectly.
Although 150 DPI is sufficient in most cases, it won't hurt to make it even higher if the image contains intricate details. For the best print quality, you can start with 300 DPI.
When creating a file, you also need to consider the image size. The chart below shows the maximum sizes of different print areas.
The good news is you don't have to worry about print failure, as we will reach out to you in advance if your print file doesn't work or may cause undesirable print results. You'll be able to adjust the file until it's ready for print. However, if you do not reply within 48 hours, we will assume that you agree to proceed with production without any adjustment.
