Print-Ready Exports overview

Chamevo generates print-ready files from every customer order. When a customer completes checkout, Chamevo creates one file per product — ready for your printer, fulfillment partner, or cloud storage.
This article explains what print-ready files are, how they are generated, and how they reach your production workflow.
What print-ready files include
Each print-ready file contains the customer's complete design at production quality:
- All text elements rendered in their original fonts
- All images at the configured DPI
- Bleed zones and crop marks (when configured)
- One file per product in the order — an order with 5 products generates 5 files
Supported output formats
Configure the output format in Chamevo > Settings > Export.
| Format | Best for |
|---|---|
| Professional print production. Vector text, embedded fonts, crop marks | |
| JPEG | Raster output at configurable DPI. Good for photo products |
| PNG | Raster output with transparency support |
| Archive with PDF and fonts used | PDF plus all font files. Useful when your printer requires original font files |
| Archive with PDF and custom images | PDF plus all customer-uploaded images at original resolution |
PDF is the default and recommended format for most print workflows.
