Print ready artwork
Is preferably
- a .pdf file
- in CMYK
- has a 3mm bleed
- has a 5mm safe margin
- at least 300dpi
PDF File
We prefer Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Files, with fully embedded fonts, or all fonts converted to paths. Please use the "High Quality Print" settings in your software package when creating the .pdf Other common software we can work with include Microsoft Word, Publisher, Excel, Photoshop, Illustrator, and many more. Please note! If you do not supply us an adobe .pdf there may be unexpected changes in the finished print - for this reason we always send you a proof to approve before we go to print.
CMYK
Artwork should be supplied as Full Colour, Cyan Magenta Yellow and Blac(k) files, rather than RGB as colour differences can occur when converting from screen to print colours.
Bleed
Your artwork should have an extra border around the edge, your design may "bleed off" into this area if it is intended to print right up-to the edge of the cut final sized page. More detailed information on bleed is available.
300dpi
Computer screen "bitmap" or "raster" images are usually 72 or 96 Dots Per Inch, when these are printed they tend to be very small, or "pixelated", for print images a much higher detail, or resolution, image is required, usually 300 Dots Per Inch (dpi) or even higher.
If your file is a Vector format file, then resolution is not an issue.
