A final artwork refers to the print-ready preparation of a design—that is, the final file sent to the printer. This process involves embedding fonts, incorporating images at sufficient resolution (at least 300 dpi), converting colors to CMYK, and adding bleed margins (usually 3 mm). A flawed final artwork can lead to printing problems such as cropped edges, incorrect colors, or blurry text. In case of doubt, a professionally prepared final artwork can save you from costly rework.
