Artwork

We accept artwork in the following formats:- pdf, eps, ai, Jpeg, cdr. Please call to find out which version of illustrator and corel we are currently running (at the time of writing CS4 and X5)

All text must be converted to vectors, referred to as 'convert to curves, outlines or paths' depending on which programme you are using

Artwork can be supplied at 25% (just divide the finished height and length by 4 to give you the size to work at)

Artwork should be a minimum of 300dpi (600dpi at 25%)

Please do not put bleeds, crop marks, target marks or colour bars on the artwork as we will have to remove them prior to print and there may be a charge for doing so.

We cannot accept artwork from Microsoft programmes - word, excel, powerpoint etc as these formats affect file resolution. We can however re-create designs supplied in these formats but there may be a charge.

When designing a banner do not have anything important, which usually means text, within 40mm of the edge as this is where the eyelets will be placed.

Please supply artwork in CMYK not RGB.

Banner artwork only: please make black 20,20,20,100 in the CMYK set.

If a colour match is critical please advise us when you place your order. Unless you mention anything at the time of order we will print from your artwork as supplied without any 'tweaking' and will not be held liable if the result is slightly different to the one you were expecting.

We are not responsible for proof-reading supplied artwork. If we spot any errors or omissions we will point them out but anything printed from incorrect artwork will have to be paid for in full.

We are aware of an issue with image masks in pdf's created in indesign. Please produce a laser print from your file before you send it to us and check for problems.

Unless you request otherwise we will produce a test print from supplied artwork at a charge of £5. If you decline the test print we will not be liable for any issues that arise with the finished job.
