Why a Web Preview Is Not a Print Original

Use the original artwork for production rather than a compressed, watermarked image saved from a product page.

Updated

A long black mountain-and-forest silhouette is framed by tall pines, with a line of birds crossing the open sky above the ridge.

What to know

Public previews are prepared for browsing and may be reduced, compressed or watermarked. They are not interchangeable with the private print source. When ordering a catalog design, use its product controls; when uploading your own work, choose your original export instead of a saved website thumbnail.

Check your plan

  • Keep web images out of the print-source folder.
  • Use the catalog product for its fixed artwork.
  • Upload your own full-quality file for a custom design.

A practical example

A preview watermark should not be edited out and uploaded as a new original. The catalog order uses the associated production artwork.

The cover is an artwork example from the catalog. Use the measurements and file checks above to evaluate your own project, rather than treating the image as a scale reference.

Explore the options

Browse outdoor and travel car stickers or prepare your own custom sticker. Product pages let you compare the artwork, size, material and pack quantity. You can submit an order request without payment; final details require confirmation.
