Aim for at least 300 dpi at the size the cabochon will be and avoid dark, blurry, or heavily cropped images. Contrast is important: light text on a dark background (or vice versa) gives significantly clearer results than tone-on-tone colors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How durable are custom-designed cabochons in everyday use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Durability depends on both the \u003cstrong\u003ematerial\u003c\/strong\u003e (glass, resin, acrylic) and how you use the jewelry. Glass often gives the most \"luxurious\" feel and a nice shine, while resin and acrylic are lighter and less sensitive to impacts. Regardless of the material, you should avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume, and cleaning agents. If you remove jewelry when showering, washing dishes, and exercising, they will stay beautiful much longer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I order just a few cabochons with my own design, or are large volumes required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: A big advantage of Hilmaspyssel is that you can order \u003cstrong\u003esmall quantities\u003c\/strong\u003e.

If the error is discovered after printing has started, it is normally considered your own responsibility, but if something has gone clearly wrong in production (e.g., crooked print, wrong size, or obvious color errors compared to the agreed original), reputable stores like Hilmaspyssel usually help with reprints or solutions according to their terms and conditions.
