Our print Service

The quality of your printed job depends heavily on the file supplied. We recommend you use a professional graphics package to create your artwork. The Adobe CS suite, Quark, Corel etc.

Our preferred file format is PDF, if you are creating your files from Quark please export as PDF, ensuring all fonts and graphics are correctly embedded.

If you prefer working with EPS files please ensure all text is converted to Paths or Outlines before uploading to your order. Alternatively convert your EPS file to PDF and upload.

We accept all standard image formats such as TIFF, JPEG and PSD. Please ensure such files are created and saved at 300DPI. TIFF or JPEG formats are not recommended for fine text or line work. A package such as Adobe Illustrator using postscript font data ensures a far crisper text and line output.

Document Layout

Most of our products follow standard 'A' paper sizes. Please supply everything in a 'one up' basis. i.e. provide one business card on a 90 x 50 or 85 x 55 page or one A4 leaflet on a 210 x 297 page.

Bleed

Images, background colours and fills which are intended to extend to the edge of the page should be extended 3mm beyond the page to give a bleed. Text, boxes and other areas you need on your finished job should sit 5mm in from the edges of the page.
Files supplied without the correct 3mm bleed will be returned for correction.

Colour

Please ensure your artwork is CREATED within a CMYK working space. Creating artwork as RGB and then converting to CMYK can create issues with the print process and delay the delivery or progress within the print system. If you are unsure about creating a CMYK print file simply drop us a line and we?ll be happy to discuss your options.

We offer a proofing service if you or your clients requires re-assurance. At checkout please purchase a proof and we?ll despatch within 24hrs.

We have a comprehensive FAQS section detailing all aspects of the print and design process, simply browse by topic.
