Supplying Artwork
Within the bounds of the printing process, what you create is what you get back, so if the artwork is not perfect - the printed product can’t be either. If you have not created artwork for print before, please talk us as early as possible during the process - we have years of experience and are here to help!
Press Ready Files
Ideally, the file you provide us for printing should be a high resolution PDF with bleed and trim marks. Raster elements should be 300-350dpi, colour space should be CMYK, each job should be a single PDF file, each page/side should be single page within that PDF (no spreads).
Bleed
We recommend 3mm of external bleed on all files. Bleed is an element of the artwork that extends past the trim edges. So if you want a card to be cut as 90mm x 55mm your artwork will be 96mm x 61mm so that we have a buffer when trimming and you won't end up with white edges.
Internal Buffer
The space from the trim edges to any important elements in the artwork. We recommend 3mm of internal buffer on all files (booklets need a bit more: 6mm up to 30pp, 10mm for 32pp-50pp, and 12mm for over 50pp) – that means keeping all your important information (ie. text, logos, etc) inside this area.
PDF Files
Ideally all files should be supplied as PDF. If your job is single sided you simply supply a one page PDF. If your job has 2 pages (a front and a back), then we prefer a two page PDF file. If you have a job with multiple kinds, then supply a one or two page PDF for each kind.
CMYK
Colour space should be set as CMYK not RGB as RGB artwork will be converted to CMYK and this could effect your colours. No spot colours unless the job has been specifically quoted that way.
Fonts
Your fonts should be embedded (full or subset). That is standard in most PDFs, but if for some reason you are supplying the ``native`` files (ie. InDesign, Illustrator, etc) then you need to include the fonts you have used so we can make any changes and create the PDF for you.
High Resolution
The raster elements (pixel-based images) you use should be high resolution for the best quality print. When creating in apps like Photoshop please set the resolution to 300-350dpi before starting your new design.
Full Colour Black
Full colour blacks (eg. 100% C, M, Y & K) use HEAPS of ink so they take AGES to dry before we can cut them! If you want a really deep black use 100% K with 30% C and 20% M.
Trim Marks
If you provide trim marks on your supplied artwork we know exactly where you want it cut. Most modern design software has the ability to include bleed as part of the document setup.
Monitors
Understand that colours look differently on computer monitors than they do when printed. A hard copy from our calibrated proofing system is the only real way of seeing how the colours will look.
We Can Help
We are willing to have a look at any file you have! Send it in and we will let you know how ``press ready`` it is. If it needs work, we will let you know how much will be involved in converting or fixing it for you.
