A useful weekend video for the community.
In this video, I go through how to work with pre made graphics supplied by clients and prepare them properly before printing.
I explain how you can upscale low-quality artwork, make simple edits using free tools, and improve graphics without needing expensive software or advanced design skills.
I also cover one of the most common problems with client-supplied images: background colours that look white on screen but are actually slightly grey, cream, or off-white. These can sometimes print as an unwanted box around the design, so it is important to check the background before sending the file to the printer.
This is a simple but important part of the workflow and can help you avoid poor-quality results, wasted ink, and unnecessary reprints.
A good watch for anyone who regularly receives artwork from clients or wants to feel more confident preparing graphics for wall printing.
