Why Our Test Print File Gives You Peace of Mind
Imagine discovering a spelling mistake or a dull patch of colour after your vehicle wrap is already on the road. Not fun. That’s why every professional wrap job at Frank Ricci Design starts with a practical, easy‑to‑read Test Print File (TPF).
What exactly is the TPF?
Think of it as a “mini dress rehearsal” for your design. We print a downsized version (about 150 cm × 65 cm – less than 1 m²) that shows:
- Close‑up snapshots of your artwork, so tiny flaws don’t slip through.
- A small outline of your vehicle, so you see how everything lines up.
- Colour bars, so the print technician can lock in perfect tones before the real roll runs.
Why should you care?
Zero nasty surprises. If something looks off here, we fix it long before your wrap hits the street.
Faster installs. Clear alignment guides mean the installer isn’t guessing where elements belong.
Easy sign‑off. Clients, designers, and print techs all sign one sheet—no email chains, no confusion.
Reliable reprints. Need a spare panel months later? The TPF is the colour‑matched recipe on file.
Built into our top packages
Our TPF service comes free with every Extreme and Exclusive custom graphic. If you choose a ready‑made Open Edition design, you can add the TPF for a small fee—handy when you want the same pro‑level safety check.
