File Preparation
What file formats can I submit?
You can upload your files in the following formats: JPG, PDF, EPS, TIFF, PS (PostScript). Make sure that your PDF file is saved directly from a graphic program in the PDF/X-standard (PDF/X3 or PDF/X1a) format. In order to avoid issues with layers and transparencies in the printing process, it is advised to use the âcompatibility 1.3â setting while saving your artwork. If you are submitting your files in TIFF format, please make sure you reduce the layers to only one layer. In order to prevent problems with variations in color or print image, please donât use the preseparated DCS EPS data.
Do my files need to be print-ready?
Yes â all the accepted files must be print-ready. If you are looking for more information about how to prepare your files and for templates check out our templates page.
Why do I need an additional bleed?
To make sure that there are no white areas on your printed product, all the submitted files must have a 2 mm bleed on each side. This means that your design (both images and graphics) should be always 2mm larger than the actual print format. Failing to do so may result in small deviations which lead to white margins. To make sure that the fonts and crucial design elements are visible, please place them at least 3mm from the final format (not including the bleed) and donât use frames as boundaries in the layout.
Additionally:
- If you are submitting your print data in an open format the bleed should be 4mm on each side (eg. A4 size including a bleed should be 301Ă214 mm)
- If you are submitting files for presentation folders, banners, monthly calendars, packaging or any other advertising technology products please prepare the file with a 3mm bleed on each side
- Envelopes must be submitted with a 1 mm bleed.
- Textile stretcher frames require 15 mm bleed.
If you require more information, please refer to our artwork instructions.
Where can I find advice about creating my print file?
Check out our artwork instructions for more tips about creating your print file.
Is my artwork going to be checked before print?
Yes, at Wild Posters all the artworks are checked and verified to make sure they are fit for print.
How are my artworks checked by Wild Posters?
All the artworks are checked by our team before printing. If we encounter any problems with the files we will contact you and advise changes in the format. Please note that the conversions of both color mode and size will be made automatically without previous information.
During the artwork analysis, we check:
- whether the files are submitted in one of the accepted formats (PDF, JPG, TIFF, EPS or PS)
- if the number of pages is correct
- if the provided file is in greyscale (only if you ordered a one colored print)
- if the file is the correct size (if not, we will scale your artwork to the desired size, however this might result in the decrease of resolution. Also no additional bleeding will be added in the process)
- if perforations lines have been indicated
- if the appropriate fonts are embedded within the file
Whatâs the best color mode for the artwork?
Itâs best to prepare your files in the CMYK color mode, otherwise we automatically convert it from the RGB mode which may result in color shift. To ensure you are fully satisfied with the print itâs recommended to send in the CMYK color mode files.
What resolution should my file be?
To ensure high quality of the print we accept 300 dpi files and higher.
Do I need to send proofs or sample files?
Please do not send any extra files such as proofs or samples unless you are requested by one. We only need the final printing files.
Can I submit front and back artwork in one file?
No. Please make sure that you send front and back artwork in separate files. Each side is printed separately in our process so not separating files can cause delays.
How do I prepare my spot UV files?
In order to create a Spot UV job you must attach a Spot UV template file as well as the regular full color file. The Spot UV template should show all the places where the UV will be placed with 100% K. White areas indicate parts of the design without the UV.

Is it possible to cancel my order?
At Wild Posters we guarantee top quality print with short turnarounds. The moment you submit your artwork, the files are sent in to preflight and placed onto plating, where the printing process begins. This is why placed orders cannot be cancelled and the sales are final. If you have not uploaded the files, you can cancel the order â be sure you call us and talk to one of our professional print staff as we do not accept emails for changing or cancelling orders.
