Most Graphic Designer can do design, but most of them didn't have Desktop Artist (DTP Artist) knowledge. Sometimes artwork they design become blur, not clear after print even though the resolution is already high. Some printing shop might refuse to print the designer's artwork (since the printing shop don't want to take risk printing blur artwork). Most printing shop will only accept to print it only if the designer agree to take risk printing the blur artwork. In this article, we will help graphic designer to overcome this problem by revealing some tips on how to Quality Check (QC) your own artwork before print.
Using Adobe Photoshop
Step 1 : Open file as usual. Step 2 : Click 'View > 100%' or 'ctrl+1'. This is the actual resolution of the item that will come out after print. If the file resolution is 150dpi, the maximum (100%) resolution will appear after print is what you see after click 'ctrl+1'. Below are the difference when click 'ctrl+1' for 150dpi and 300 dpi.
Adobe Illustrator
Step 1 : Open file as usual. Step 2 : Click 'View > Actual Size' or 'ctrl+1'. Result are same with photoshop. But to change file resolution in AI is more complicated than photoshop. Better use photoshop to play with the resolution difference.
Normally if the design are made fully by Adobe Illustrator, it will be no problem since file from AI is a vector file. But the problem will arise if you insert an image from Google. Not all picture from Google are in high resolution. By using this technique, you can see which image is suitable for your artwork dimension. You can also make sure that each image in your artwork are clear for printing.
