LINKMINT / LEARN
A practical guide to printing QR codes
Prepare a static QR code and test the finished print.
Choose a destination you can maintain
For a menu or information page, use a web address that you control and expect to keep. LinkMint stores that address directly in the QR code. You can update the content at that address later, but you cannot change the encoded address inside an already printed code.
PNG or SVG?
PNG works well in documents and social images. Choose a larger download width if your design will use a larger image. SVG stays sharp when resized in compatible design software and is useful for print layouts. Do not stretch the code into a rectangle or crop its white border.
Keep it easy to scan
Use dark modules against a light background. Keep the white margin around the whole code clear of text and decoration. Long text creates a denser pattern, so a short destination URL is often easier to fit into a small design. Higher error correction can help with damage but does not make every small or obscured code readable.
Test the actual output
- Scan the downloaded file and check the full destination.
- Print a sample at the intended size and on the intended material.
- Try more than one phone in realistic lighting and at the expected distance.
- For menus or signs, check the destination again after publishing updates.
There is no single print size that guarantees every phone will scan. Pattern density, viewing distance, surface glare and print quality all matter. LinkMint does not provide scan analytics or dynamic redirects.
