Font Information

All text should be converted to paths, curves or outlines. This is the recommended method. The text will become an object and can no longer be edited. If you need to send the fonts along with your artwork, make sure that all printer and screen fonts are included. Please zip or stuff your fonts.

Process Colours & Pantone

Make sure all colours are converted to RGB. Extra charges will apply forcolour conversion.

Spot Colours

For spot colour printing use Pantone colours only — Do not use process colours. Make sure that the colour information, such as pantone numbers, is clearly marked in the file. We will not match the Pantone colour but we will get as close as we can with the processes available.

Support Files

Please include all support files used in your artwork, i.e. all images and fonts. If you have brand guidelines please include those.

Saving Files

Do not save artwork at a lower resolution to create a smaller file. Once a file is saved in a low resolution we cannot do anything to change the artwork to a higher resolution. Low resolution files will result in choppy type and fuzzy pictures.

Fax Proofs

If requested we will be pleased to fax a proof of your artwork for approval before processing. Please specify on your order.
