Print-Ready Files Without Photoshop: Bleed, Trim, and DPI Handled for You

WrapStudio auto-generates production-ready files at up to 600 DPI with proper bleed, trim marks, and sRGB color profiles. No Photoshop required.

An artist exports their piece from Procreate at 72 DPI. They send it to a print lab. The lab rejects it - they need 300 DPI minimum with 3mm bleed on all sides. The artist spends two hours figuring out how to set up bleed areas in Photoshop.

This happens every day. Most artists and photographers are visual people, not prepress specialists.

What "print-ready" actually means

  • DPI (dots per inch): Print labs typically require 300 DPI minimum. Fine art prints go up to 600 DPI. A file that looks sharp on screen at 72 DPI prints blurry.
  • Bleed: Extra image area beyond the trim edge, usually 3mm to 6mm. This ensures no white edges appear after cutting.
  • Trim marks: Lines that indicate where the paper gets cut. Without them, the cutter operator is guessing.
  • Color profile: sRGB for most commercial printing. Files in Adobe RGB or Display P3 can shift colors when printed.

After
