Best files types to supply for your design

PDF (High resolution)

JPG (CMYK, 300dpi if possible)
PSD (Adobe Photoshop)
AI (Adobe Illustrator)

For the best results supply your artwork at full size if possible. If this makes the file size too large you can reduce the size by 50% and we will enlarge it for print.

Images

All images should be supplied in CMYK colour format and a minimum of 100dpi when at full print size. If they are part of a pdf file they should be embedded.

Fonts

All fonts should be converted to curves.

Your supplied artwork is too large to upload or email

If this is the case you have these options:-

1: Upload to Dropbox or Google drive and share the file with us.
2: Visit www.wetransfer.com where you can send files up to 2gb for FREE.

Colour format

All supplied artwork should be set in the CMYK colour format. This means that each colour, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black correspond to the inks used by our printing machines. When converting from RGB to CMYK the colours may alter, especially the brighter colours. This is because RGB (Red, Green, Blue) exists on electronic screens where as CMYK represents the four colours of ink that make up most colours in printing.

Pantone or spot colours

Please convert all pantone colours and spot colours to their CMYK equivalent values.

Black printing

All black colour in your design should be set to – CMYK: C=75 M=68 Y=67 K=90. This will make a true black. Setting your black to  C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100 will only produce a very dark grey, see the image below.

Print bleeds and crop marks

We do not need artwork supplied with bleeds or crop marks, just your artwork at the correct size or a percentage smaller for us to resize.

My artwork is unsuitable for print

If you can only supply low resolution images, Microsoft word files, images saved from your web site etc, we may still be able recreate your design from them.
