Follow these simple steps to design and prepare your Photo Tile for print:
- Choose Photo Tile shape
You may opt for the circle, square or hexagon shape. While preparing your print pdf file, pay attention that a die-cutting line called “cutcontour” has to be provided as a separate layer with the spot colour in order to produce the desired shape of your Photo Tile. - Choose Photo Tile size
Check available sizes before sending your Photo Tile for global print with Cloudprinter.com. - Create Photo Tile design
Make sure your information is within the limits; colors, background images and the layout of your Photo Tile design extend to the limits as well, so that there are no white edges after cutting. This way, you won't lose any data while you design your Photo Tile. Pay attention that a circle shape will be printed on the square sheet of PVC foamboard and then the angles will be cut off, so do not place any important elements in these areas. The same refers to a hexagon Photo Tile as it is printed on the rectangle sheet of PVC foamboard. - Prepare Photo Tile file for printing
