You hit send to print… and immediately question your life choices.
Did you embed the fonts? Set the bleed? Why does that image suddenly look like Minecraft?

This is where Preflight and packaging save you from embarrassment.

In this video, you’ll learn how to properly check and prepare your Affinity Layout files before sending them to print. We’ll fix the common disasters, clean up errors fast, and package everything so your printer gets exactly what they need.

We’ll cover:

✅ How to use Preflight to catch missing fonts, low-res images, RGB issues and overset text
✅ How to convert RGB to CMYK using Document Setup and ICC profiles
✅ How to fix overset text and identify hidden content
✅ How to use Resource Manager to relink, embed, or optimize images
✅ How to properly “Save as Package” and send a complete print-ready folder
✅ What to include when sending files to your print provider

This is for designers who want to stop guessing before print and start working like professionals. No more back-and-forth emails. No more expensive reprints. No more last-minute panic before deadline.

Preflight and packaging aren’t optional. They’re part of real production workflow. If you want printers to take you seriously, this is the baseline.
