1. Free File Checks to Make Sure Your Print Comes Out Exactly as Intended
    Sending artwork to print shouldn’t feel like a risk.

    But for many businesses it does, wrong sizes, low-quality images, colours not matching expectations…
    and by the time it’s noticed, it’s already printed.

    That’s why every job we receive goes through a series of file checks before it reaches production.

    At Prontaprint, we combine industry-leading pre-flight software with over 50 years of hands-on print experience, so your artwork is set up correctly and ready to produce the result you’re expecting.

  1. Software & Experience = Better Results

  1. We use advanced preflight software to scan for technical issues quickly and accurately.

    But software only goes so far.

    Our team brings decades of real-world print experience, meaning we don’t just rely on automated checks, we apply human judgement to make sure your artwork will actually work in practice.

  1. What We Check Before Anything Goes to Print

    We don’t just press print and hope for the best.
    Every file is reviewed to catch issues early and avoid costly mistakes.

  1. Document size and setup

    We check that your artwork is set to the correct dimensions, including bleed and trim areas, so nothing important gets cut off.

  2. Bleed and safe zones

    We make sure your design extends correctly beyond the trim edge, and that key content sits safely within margins.

  3. Image resolution

    Low-resolution images can appear blurry or pixelated when printed. We check all images are suitable for print quality.

  4. Colour setup (RGB vs CMYK)

    We ensure your file is set up correctly for print, avoiding unexpected colour shifts during production.

  5. Fonts and text

    We check that fonts are embedded or outlined properly to prevent substitutions or layout changes.

  6. File integrity and compatibility

    We review your file to ensure it can be processed correctly by our systems, avoiding errors during production.

  7. Overall print readiness

    Beyond technical checks, we apply practical print knowledge, spotting anything that might not work as intended once printed.
