- Artwork Checklist
This guide outlines the essential steps for preparing a business card design file for optimal printing results, assuming utilization of Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator is favored over Photoshop for two primary reasons: its vector-based functionality, resulting in EPS files commonly preferred by professional printers, and its compatibility with PDF, a widely accepted format among online printing platforms.

To initiate, it's recommended to either utilize the provided Adobe Illustrator business card template or craft one independently. When employing the provided template, ensure deletion of the "guides" layer to prevent unintended print markings. Establishing precise specifications for margins, trim, bleed area, and safe zones is crucial to circumvent potential printing complications.
