Question
What should I do if my file looks pixelated in the online proof?
Answer
A pixelated look in the online proof does not mean your final print will be pixelated. The online proof is a low-resolution preview meant to show trim edges and confirm that nothing is missing or cut off.
- The proof is not a quality gauge. It checks layout, placement, and orientation.
- Your final piece prints from the high-resolution files you supplied, not from the preview.
- To be safe, set your images to 300 DPI at the intended print size.
As long as your source files are high resolution, the printed result will look far sharper than the online proof.
