If the file isn&#x27;t in your creativehub account, we can&#x27;t print the order.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, the files you upload should be high resolution \u2014 ideally 300DPI and sized to your largest required print size.<\/p>\n<h4>How the files you upload for your artwork are used<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Creating print products<\/strong> \u2014 when you set up a print product in the SELL app (choosing paper, frame, edition size, and so on), you provide the artwork image that will be printed on those products.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automatic order fulfilment<\/strong> \u2014 once your products are published and orders come in, theprintspace uses your uploaded artwork file to compose and print each order at one of its facilities (UK, Germany, or US), then ships it to your customer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cloud storage and reuse<\/strong> \u2014 your files are stored securely in the cloud, so you can reuse them across multiple products and drops without uploading repeatedly. You can pull them from your <strong>media library<\/strong> instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quality control<\/strong> \u2014 creativehub checks your file meets the print specs (format, resolution, colour space, and so on) to ensure the final print quality matches your artwork.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>What happens next<\/h4>\n<p>Once you apply the sales settings to your files, our system generates a unique SKU code for each product or variant created. Learn more about how SKU codes work.<\/p>\n<p>In short, your uploaded file is the master your prints are made from. Without it, there&#x27;s nothing to print or sell.<\/p>\n<h4>Related articles<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/knowledge-base\/what-file-formats-should-i-upload-to-creativehub-to-create-print-products\/\">What file formats should I upload to creativehub to create print products?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/knowledge-base\/what-dpi-should-my-drop-ship-files-have\/\">What PPI do my files need to be to set up print products?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/knowledge-base\/do-i-have-to-upload-a-different-file-for-each-product-variant\/\">Do I have to upload a different file for each size variant of my drop ship products?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprintspace.co.uk\/help\/knowledge-base\/where-can-i-see-all-the-print-products-in-my-creativehub-account\/\">Where can I see the list of products I have created in my creativehub account?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn why you upload files for your artwork to creativehub: your high-resolution print file is the master we use to print and fulfil every order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"ht-kb-category":[131,32],"ht-kb-tag":[533,272,534,508,446,511,445,444],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Why do I need to upload my artworks on creativehub?
