• What is the ideal resolution for my pictures to get the best quality?• You say that the image resolution must the screen's double used during printing. You print your work with a frequency of 250 LPI, should we provide images at 500 PPP?• Why do I have to convert my images in CMYK before sending my documents to print?• Is my proofs are printed on the same paper that will be use in the final print?• Is it better to send a PDF or native documents for printing?• What is bleed?Q: What is the ideal resolution for my pictures to get the best quality?A: The ideal resolution 300 PPI (pixels per inch) format final. You can still use images beyond 225 PPP without impairing quality. The usual rule to calculate the ideal resolution is as follows: screen x 2 = PPP. (Example: 150 LPI x 2 = 300 PPP)Q: You say that the image resolution must be the screen's double used during printing. You print your work with a screen of 250 LPI, should we provide images at 500 PPP?A: No, the screen technology we use allows us to maximize the image resolution and provide a high quality screen to 250 LPI with images of 300 dpi.Q: Why do I always convert my images in CMYK before sendind my documents to print?A: We have the tools to manage the conversion of images from RGB to CMYK.
