• The importance of resolution settings

  In order to speed up file upload without affecting printing quality, it is recommended to set the resolution of embedded image files to 300dpi or 350dpi. Choosing a file resolution that is too high will not only not improve the quality of the printed matter, but will unnecessarily increase the file size, resulting in a waste of archiving and uploading time.
