If your artwork is too big to send via email, use the link below to send us files direct.
Artwork has bleed where required?
All images are suitable resolution?
All images are embeded or supplied as separate files?
All fonts are outlined or supplied?
We accept PDFs with job options set for commercial printing, created from Acrobat Distiller.
Settings include; default resolution, compression settings and font embedding.
Where possible ensure a 300dpi PDFx1a ‘print’ or ‘press ready’ PDF is outputted.
Please include a 3mm bleed all round, crop marks and supply as single pages.
Please ensure you choose high resolution. Compression settings for colour and greyscale should be down sampled to 300dpi with “auto compression” set on high. Bitmapped (monochrome: i.e. line art) images should be set at 600dpi.
Font embedding should be set to “embed all fonts.”
One of the most important elements in artwork for printing! Please ensure there is 3mm bleed all round the PDF.
i.e. save the PDF with 6mm added to each measurement
(for A4 usually 210mm x 297mm, save as 216mm x 303mm). Crop marks may be included if you wish. If your artwork is supplied without bleed we may not always be able to add it on for you and you may have to amend and re-supply the artwork.
Please ensure that all embedded images are CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) files. RGB images may look good on screen but final output to print is always in CMYK.
Please be aware that files converted from RGB to CMYK may alter the colour significantly!
If you are looking to supply artwork and have concerns about supplying files that will not work, contact us and ask to speak to the studio, who would rather explain a few things and get banging artwork.
We absolutely can help with artwork. We offer design and artwork from our creative studio, whether you need your artwork re-doing for print (essential and sometimes challenging) OR you are looking for a fresh design (much more exciting for the creative team) our studio rate is very competitive and cost effective in the long run when you are trying to do it yourself and need that little bit of expertise and experience.
Our team is standing by to make sure you are getting the support you need with your job.
