1. Choose the magnet product
Decide on the shape, finished size, backing, and assembly method. Confirm that the press, cutter, and components are designed to work together.
Design, build sheets, print, sell, and manage production from one connected platform.
2. Prepare the customer image
Use the highest-quality image available. Crop around the important subject and leave enough room near the edges for the product's visible area.
Printed photos often appear darker than a bright screen, so a modest brightness adjustment may improve the finished result.
3. Build and print the sheet
Select the correct product layout, place the images, and use the intended paper size. Print without unintended Fit or Scale-to-Page settings.
Run a calibration test before producing a large order.
4. Cut, assemble, and inspect
Cut each design cleanly, assemble the magnet using the equipment instructions, and inspect the crop, color, edges, and backing.
Package the finished product so the surface stays protected.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of printer is used for photo magnets?
Many makers use an inkjet photo printer, but the best choice depends on the paper, ink, desired finish, and production volume.
Why do printed photos look darker?
Screens emit light while paper reflects it. Increasing image brightness slightly before printing may produce a closer visual match.
How do I size the image correctly?
Use a layout created for the exact product and verify that the printer is outputting at the expected scale.
