We want to make sure you get all the tips and information you need to create the best possible printed pieces. Here are the best places to go for tips and tools:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Designing for Print<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tog.ink\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DesignForPrint2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3356 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/tog.ink\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DesignForPrint2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tog.ink\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DesignForPrint2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tog.ink\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DesignForPrint2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tog.ink\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DesignForPrint2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We recently added the <a href=\"https:\/\/tog.ink\/custserv_content.jsp?pageName=designing-for-print\">Designing for Print page<\/a> as a response to some questions we&#8217;ve gotten from customers. They needed a little more information on various topics. So we broke this page out into some of the main topics we address with customers on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Artwork Specifications<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tog.ink\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/CustomQuote.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3347 aligncenter\" title=\"Shop TOG.ink\" src=\"https:\/\/tog.ink\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/CustomQuote.jpg\" alt=\"Person shopping on TOG.ink.\" width=\"454\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tog.ink\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/CustomQuote.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tog.ink\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/CustomQuote-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tog.ink\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/CustomQuote-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/tog.ink\/custserv_content.jsp?pageName=artwork_specifications\">Art Specs page<\/a> was our first content page where we listed out the specifications you need to know for saving your files. We found the information listed wasn&#8217;t quite enough and designers really needed a little more guidance and context. That&#8217;s why we recently added Designing for Print. However, you will find a downloadable Art Specs grid and a few helpful tips on this page as well.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">FAQs<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We have lots of frequently asked questions you should check out. Some are answered in the Designing for Print and Artwork Specifications pages but the <a href=\"https:\/\/tog.ink\/custserv_content.jsp?pageName=help_faqs\">FAQs page<\/a> has a lot more questions with quick answers. Get the guidance you need and move on to your next project!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Digital Tools<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The website footer pages mentioned above are also digital tools but what we&#8217;re highlighting here are downloadable tools you can keep on your desktop. We are continuously improving and expanding upon these tools.
