Connect the file to a specific print use
A digital artwork can look sharp on a phone and still be unsuitable for a large print. Record the agreed dimensions, orientation, and output assumptions. Ask the buyer or print provider for requirements when the intended use is unclear.
For a raster image, pixel dimensions divided by the intended print dimensions in inches gives pixels per inch. That calculation describes the file at a size; it does not guarantee a particular printer, paper, or viewing result.
A fictional print note
Order: DEMO-529 File: 529-wall-art-portrait-R1.jpg Pixel dimensions: 3600 × 4800 Illustrative print size: 12 × 16 inches Calculated resolution at that size: 300 pixels per inch Aspect ratio: 3:4 Orientation: Portrait Before ordering: Check the printer preview for unintended cropping Questions: Contact the studio if a different size or crop is needed
The example is a planning calculation, not a print test or a universal quality threshold. Confirm specifications with the actual print provider.
Review the delivered artwork
- Check personalization spelling against the approved order details.
- Verify actual pixel dimensions and aspect ratio.
- Inspect edges, margins, and any intended bleed requirements.
- Confirm the file opens and contains the final revision.
- Ensure the instruction sheet names the included file exactly.
- Exclude low-resolution previews from the final print package.
If the buyer requests a different aspect ratio, a crop may remove content. Do not tell them to stretch the image or assume every frame size is interchangeable. Route the request to the artist for an appropriate export.
Keep delivery and printing expectations separate
QuickAttach can deliver the prepared artwork package; it does not verify print settings or control a third-party printer. Do not promise identical color across every screen and print process.
If the artwork and print note belong to one item, use a supported package arrangement such as a tested ZIP. Check the upload limit before attaching a large file, and test any external destination with the intended customer access.
The delivery message should tell the buyer to read the print note before ordering. If they report a crop or quality problem, ask for the selected print size and the file revision first. That gives the artist a concrete starting point without guessing which export the buyer used.
