- And more!

Tips & Tricks
- Check character length and reduce font size to accommodate text
- Send us the font used in the variable data printing area to ensure your order gets to press quickly
- Send separate files:
- An image file showing where you’d like the variable data
- An image file without the text
- Use a spreadsheet template for your personalization data
- Please provide data files in the recommended format for online printing or let us do your file prep for you (with additional fees).
- Smartpress also offers a Versions feature on many products, which lets you print various designs with the same size, stock and finish.
- You can use both Versions and VDP on many of the same products to save you time and energy, while staying on-budget.
