Print Resources

When it comes to printing, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, you should choose CMYK over RGB for your graphics. Our printing process uses primarily CMYK, while RGB uses a combination of just three colors: red, green, and blue. If your file is in RGB, it must be translated into a CMYK file for us to print it.

Additionally, it's important to ensure that your files are at a final resolution size of 300dpi (dots per inch). Lower resolution sizes or stretched small files can result in jagged edges and fuzzy or pixilated images. Resolution and size are different but proportional. If you are not sure of the final size, it's best to scan the image larger with more resolution, as you can always reduce the size and resolution of the file.

When scanning an image, it's important to calculate the size and dpi correctly. For example, if you have a 3" x 5" photo and want to enlarge it to 6" x 8", you will need to enlarge the photo by 2 times or 200%. You will then need to scan the photo at 600 dpi at least and 200% enlargement.

It's important to note that images from the internet or websites are usually 72 dpi GIF, JPEG, or PNG files and may not provide a good quality image for printing. These images would appear fuzzy and dull if printed by K&K Printing. However, images from a digital camera will usually be good for printing, provided the dpi and size are appropriate.
