Does Valenna Check My Artwork Before Printing?

No. Nobody reviews or proofreads your file before it is printed. Valenna prints exactly what you upload, so check the file yourself before you order.

๐Ÿค– Why files are not checked

Valenna runs an automated print workflow. When an order is processed, your file is split automatically and sent to different machines depending on the material combination you selected, for example the cover, the interior pages and black-and-white or colour printing. In most cases nobody at the workshop knows what a file contains until the printed pages are collated and cut.

โš ๏ธ Warning: spelling, page order, missing or extra blank pages, the wrong page size, and important text too close to the edge are all printed as supplied. Mistakes in the file are not noticed or corrected.

โœ… What to check before you upload

  1. The file is at the exact finished size of the product. Custom notebooks and planners take no extra bleed; see do I need bleed on my custom notebook or planner?
  2. Important text, logos and tables are inside the safe zone. For notebooks that is at least 10 mm from every edge, so they are not cut or punched through.
  3. Pages are in the exact order they must print, with blank pages included where needed. See check page order, blank pages and orientation.
  4. Spelling, names and dates are correct.
  5. Fonts are embedded or converted to outlines, and images are sharp at print size.

The print-ready PDF checklist lists everything in one place. Open the exported PDF and look through every page before you upload.

๐Ÿงช How to have your design tested before a large order

Because we do not review files, the safest way to check a design is to order one printed copy first. A single item can be ordered because custom notebooks have no minimum order quantity. See ordering a sample or proof and when to request a digital proof or physical sample.

If you are unsure whether your file meets a product's requirements, raise a support ticket before ordering. We do not offer design, layout or editing services, but support can explain the product rules. See design and artwork-editing services.

โ“ What if I find a mistake after ordering?

Contact us immediately with your order number and the corrected file. A file can only be replaced if the order has not moved too far into production. See what happens if I notice an artwork mistake after checkout.
