Editorial policy

The guides and reference material on PrintReadyKit aim to be accurate, useful and original. This page explains how that content is produced and what standards it is held to.

Original writing

Every page on the site is written specifically for this site. We do not republish articles from other websites, scrape competitors’ content or syndicate generic boilerplate. When a page is updated, the changes go through the same review as the original draft.

Sourcing

Dimensions for standard paper, envelope and card sizes are taken from public technical standards (ISO 216 for the A-series, ANSI/ASME Y14.1 for US sizes, national postal standards for envelopes) and from generic conventions used across the printing industry. Where a figure is widely published and uncontroversial, we use it without specific attribution; where a figure is unusual or disputed, the source is named on the page.

AI assistance

Drafts of some explanatory passages may be produced with the assistance of AI writing tools. Every published page is read, edited and fact-checked by a human before it goes live. AI-generated draft text is not published verbatim.

Corrections

Mistakes happen. When a factual error is reported and confirmed, the page is corrected as quickly as possible. If the correction is material — for example, a wrong dimension in a standard size — a note will be added near the bottom of the page describing what changed and when.

No paid placement

Tools, sizes and presets are not promoted in exchange for payment, and no recommendation on this site has been bought. Which envelope the finder suggests, which spacing the graph paper defaults to, which tool a guide sends you to — none of it is for sale.

Display advertising may be used to fund the running of the site. Where it appears it is kept visually distinct from editorial content, never placed inside the dimension tables, the tool controls or a result, and never formatted to resemble a recommendation. If an advertisement ever sits beside a tool, it is an advertisement and will look like one.

Reporting a problem

Use the contact page to report a factual error, a broken tool or a suggestion. Reports that include the page URL and a short description of what is wrong are the fastest to act on.
