Online Printing Service requires no prior experience and helps a novice to quickly get started and get the required output naturally and intuitively. Convenience and the array of service options the online providers offer, make it a trusted and reliable choice. However, there are some simple guidelines to keep in mind while opting for online service, for an appealing result, excellent quality, and give an overall hassle-free experience.

Colour Accuracy is essential to get the desired result from the online printing services and to deliver an excellent quality vivid picture. The process colours CMYK is responsible for better image enhancement. CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. The image on your PC screen is RGB. RGB stands for Red, Green and Blue. Converting all graphic design files from RGB to CMYK is a must for best possible colour mixing and produce excellent quality. If possible, the customer can do the conversions otherwise the provider can help with it. Next, for professional online printing, there are several options available for paper types and the thickness of the paper. Basically, coated paper, adds an extra non-colourink coverage over the printed product to give extra protection. The additional coating makes it a little expensive, and products like business cards, postcards catalogues, and business brochures use this kind of coated paper. They come in waterproof, matte and gloss finish paper. When compared to coated paper, the uncoated type is widely used as its less expensive and it is best suited for printing bulk orders. Products like books, flyers, newspapers use uncoated paper type. The thickness of the paper measures in points. E.g., 14 pt. is considered a thick cover (Imprenta Online).

Once the colour, paper type and its thickness are decided, then select the paper size for printing. The standard measurement for paper sizes is in inches. However, it’s a good idea to check with your online printing service what is their preferred measuring unit. Also, as a rule of thumb, a higher resolution image not less than 300 dots per inch and fonts size not less than 7pt gives a better readable product. Once printing job is over, there are also several post printing design options that are available especially if you are printing a booklet or a catalogue like drilling holes, die-cutting or perforation. 

Be informed about the various techniques available while printing online and discuss your requirements with the service provider to rule out any miscommunication.
