Editorial policy
This page explains how the content on PIXAROX is produced, so you can judge it: who writes it, how it is tested, how often it is reviewed and how mistakes are fixed.
Who writes
The guides are written by the PIXAROX team — the people who build and use the tool, who 3D-print, and who scan codes with real phones every day. We do not commission outside writers by volume, and we do not publish text nobody has tested.
How a guide is produced
- It starts with a real problem: a user question, a code that would not scan, a plate that warped.
- We reproduce it: we print, scan and measure. If a claim cannot be checked, it is not published.
- We write what we verified: every tip should be actionable today with a normal printer and a normal phone.
- Final review: we re-read for unverified claims and either correct or remove them.
How we test
- Codes are scanned on both Android and iOS, not just one reference phone.
- Printing advice is based on files generated with this tool and printed on real machines.
- Size, relief and margin figures follow the QR standard (ISO/IEC 18004), not invented numbers.
- Material comparisons describe expected behaviour in normal use, not proprietary lab results.
Dates and updates
Every guide shows its last-updated date. We revise content when something relevant changes — a file format, a printing recommendation, a new feature — or when a reader reports a mistake. Policy pages are kept deliberately short so they are easy to review.
Corrections
Found an error? Write to fotomasco.2022@gmail.com or use the contact page. Once confirmed, we fix the text, update the date and, for substantive changes, note it on the page itself.
What we do not accept
- Sponsored content inside the guides, or paid links disguised as recommendations.
- Bulk-generated text that was never verified in practice.
- Deceptive advertising: ad slots are labelled «ADVERTISEMENT» and never imitate the site content.
Independence from advertising
PIXAROX is funded by third-party advertising. Ads do not influence what we publish, the order of our guides or our recommendations. If a guide criticises a material, a format or a practice, we do not change the text for an advertiser.
