You can provide files to us on

CD-Rom (640Mb-700Mb media)
DVD-Rom
Email Files (up to approx. 15Mb)

PC Format is required. If working on a Macintosh please save all files in either EPS or TIFF format, and convert ALL fonts to outlines adding the dot extension to the file name. Eg. Myartwork.eps

Work all files in CMYK mode. Please realise that we can only match to the process equivalent of Pantone colours. Please do not supply us 72 DPI Internet files, or work saved in RGB mode. 

Please convert all text to paths or supply all fonts required for the job.

Supply all relevant files with your job such as links, or placed files.

 

Set up layout files in the correct proportion. Please work at a scale of 1mm = 10mm at approx. 300-350 DPI, particularly for larger files. Small to medium size files can be saved at 25 – 50% and a higher DPI.

If supplying a PDF file please supply this at 400DPI, CMYK set-up to the correct scale and as we can not alter these files easily please allow a 50mm – 100mm (depending on size of print) bleed on the background colour only.

If you require your image to have bleed, then please indicate this on your artwork clearly. We recommend using approx 10mm on each side. This should be set-up extending out from the original file size.

Scan from the best artwork possible. (Scans from printed material such as newspapers, business cards, magazines etc are not recommended.)

Supply logos as editable Illustrator or Freehand EPS files where possible.

Please supply a printout of the files you sent us (colour if possible). Please note due to the inconsistent nature of the colour inkjet or laser prints we do not consider them to be an accurate colour guide. If you require us to match particular colours, then please provide us with PMS Pantone colours that we can match to.

For further information or assistance please don’t hesitate to contact us.
