Uploaded Document Is Blurry

Getting Started

When uploading your PDF to LetterStream, you might notice that the document preview looks slightly blurry or less clear. Don’t worry—this is intentional and does not reflect the final print quality.

Why the Preview Appears Blurry

During the job creation process, LetterStream provides a sample preview image of your document when drawing address boxes. This image is intentionally shown in lower resolution to make the loading process faster and more efficient.

The purpose of this preview is to help you position the address boxes accurately—it is not a representation of the final printed quality.

What You Can Expect in the Final Print

The image quality of the preview does not impact how your letter is printed. We use high-quality printing equipment, and the documents you upload are printed using the full resolution of your PDF—not the compressed preview image.

How to Check the Final Quality

Once your job is created, you will be able to review the proofs before finalizing your order. These proofs are a much more accurate reflection of how your documents will look when printed.

We highly recommend reviewing the proofs to ensure you are happy with:

  • Address placement
  • Document clarity
  • Overall formatting
