What Does 300 DPI Mean for Printing?
300 DPI is a common target for sharp small-format print images at final size. The key phrase is “at final size”: enlarging a small image reduces its effective resolution.

Bleed is extra artwork outside the final cut size. A common requirement is 3mm on each side so background colours and images still reach the edge after normal trimming variation.
Postal direct mail and door-to-door distribution can both put printed material into residential or business environments, but the preparation, cost structure and operational control are different.
89 × 54mm and 90 × 54mm are common name-card sizes. The one-millimetre difference is less important than preparing artwork to the exact chosen size with bleed and safe margins.
Same-day printing compresses checking, production and handling into the shortest possible window. Next-day printing still prioritises the job but gives the production team more scheduling flexibility.
A QR code can fail in print even when it worked on screen if it is too small, low contrast, distorted or crowded. Test the final exported artwork at the intended printed size.
Saddle stitching gathers folded sheets and staples them through the centre fold. Because each folded sheet creates four pages, booklet page counts are commonly planned in multiples of four.
Property marketing print should make the agent identity, registered mobile number and response action easy to find. Check licence details, QR destinations and contact information before every production run.
A print-ready PDF should already be the correct final size, include required bleed, keep important content inside safe margins and contain the final approved text and images.
Roll-up artwork must match the specific hardware. The printed graphic extends into the base cassette, so the visible area is not always the same as the total printed height.
