If your file contains very small text, it is important to verify that it meets the minimum printable sizes indicated in the instructions for the product you purchased. If the text does not meet our requirements, it may not be legible on the finished product.
The minimum text sizes vary depending on the product, as each material and printing technology has different characteristics and outcomes. For example:, for rigid media the printable limits are specified in the instructions:
As you can see, both a minimum font size and a minimum stroke thickness are specified. It is important to pay close attention to this second requirement as well, especially if the font you have chosen has very thin strokes.
In the example below, text smaller than 10 pt is not visible on the printed product.
In the example below, strokes smaller than 0.5 pt are not clearly visible on the printed product.
Always refer to the instructions for the product you purchased and ensure that all the text in your file meets the minimum size requirements for printing.
