Print Guide

Choosing the Right Paper
• Glossy Paper: Ideal for vibrant photographs and graphics. It has a shiny finish that makes colors pop but can be prone to fingerprints.

• Matte Paper: Best for text-heavy documents or prints that will be handled frequently. It offers a non-reflective surface and is less likely to attract dust and fingerprints.

• Lustre Paper: A good middle-ground with a slight gloss. It's often used for professional photo prints.

• Fine Art Paper: Offers a textured surface, typically used for high-quality art prints. It absorbs ink differently, giving a more luxurious feel to the print.

Preparing Your Document
• Ensure your document's resolution is at least 300 DPI for high-quality prints.

• Use CMYK color mode for prints that will be produced on a press and RGB for home or office printers.

• Check the margins and layout to ensure all elements are within the printable area.

Printer Settings
• Select the correct paper type in your printer settings to match the paper you're using.

• Choose the highest quality setting available for the best results.

• If your printer supports it, use color management profiles for more accurate color reproduction.

Printing Process
1.
Load the paper correctly into your printer tray, aligning it with the guides.
2.
Print a test page on regular paper to check for layout and color accuracy.
3.
Once satisfied, print your document on the chosen paper.
4.
Allow the print to dry completely before handling to avoid smudging.

Post-Printing
• If necessary, trim the paper to size using a sharp blade or paper cutter for a clean edge.

• Store prints in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Remember, the key to successful printing is to match the paper type with the content of your print and to adjust your printer settings accordingly. For more detailed instructions tailored to your specific printer model or paper type, refer to the manufacturer's guidelines or the resources provided by the paper brand. Happy printing! ️
