Common issues and solutions in Roxen printing
While Roxen is designed to simplify the print production process, you may encounter some common issues. Here are a few and their solutions:
Image resolution
Low-resolution images can affect print quality. Ensure that all images imported into Roxen are of high resolution. Use image editing tools to enhance resolution if necessary.
Font compatibility
Some fonts may not render correctly in the final print output. Stick to widely supported fonts or embed fonts directly into your layout to avoid compatibility issues.
