QR codes and barcodes

  1. Click QR or Barcode in the tool rail.
  2. Enter the content — a web address, a part number, whatever the code needs to carry.
  3. Size and position it like any other object.
  4. Print a test and scan it before committing a run.

Worth knowing. Always scan a printed test. A code that scans on screen can still fail at small sizes or on textured media.

Images and logos

  1. Click Image and choose the file.
  2. Use Lock proportions when resizing so a logo is never stretched.
  3. Use Background image if the artwork should fill the whole sign.
