Why File Checking Matters

Even small mistakes in your print files can lead to poor colour reproduction, blurry images, missing fonts, incorrect sizing, or unwanted cropping. Our file checking process helps prevent:

  • Resolution issues causing pixelation or blurriness
  • Incorrect colour modes (RGB vs. CMYK) leading to colour shifts
  • Missing fonts or linked images
  • Improper bleed or trim marks
  • Low-quality PDFs or unsupported file formats
By ensuring your files are print-ready, we help guarantee your final product looks exactly as you envisioned.

What We Check For

Our team inspects your files for:

  • File format and compatibility (PDF, AI, EPS, JPG, TIFF)
  • Colour profiles and mode conversion to CMYK
  • Image resolution and quality (minimum 300dpi recommended)
  • Fonts (embedded or converted to outlines)
  • Bleed, trim, and safe zone settings
  • Page size and orientation
  • File layers and transparency handling
  • Overall layout and alignment
We’ll provide clear feedback and guidance if anything needs adjusting, or we can help fix issues for you.

Who Needs File Checking?

  • Graphic designers preparing client materials
  • Businesses managing their own print assets

  • Final Prints were Perfect!
    Replica Print’s file checking saved me from a potentially costly mistake. I uploaded my brochure PDF, and they spotted missing fonts and low-res images I hadn’t noticed. They helped me fix everything quickly, and the final prints were perfect.
