Colour Matching
Due to variables involved in the printing processes, inaccuracies caused by inconsistent viewing conditions, colour perception and many other variables, matching PMS colours, supplied samples or full colour proofs is not guaranteed and a reasonable variation between these and the completed job is to be expected. When a variation of this kind occurs, it will be considered acceptable performance.
Colours
if your artwork contains lots of different colours (including shades of colours) use CMYK colours.
Borders
We recommend not using borders less than 3 mm wide on the trim edges.
Trim Marks
All print ready artworks must have trim marks.
Vector Graphic Files
Vector-based images can be scaled by any amount without degrading quality. Usually supplied in EPS, PDF, AI or CDR formats.
Black
avoid four colour blacks in vector files - but do add 30 to 50% Cyan to 100% Black for a deep black.
Layout
Use separate (single) files for each side of each job (eg. 2 sides = 2PDFs: 1up front and 1up back).
Bleed
5 mm external bleed - anything that touches a trim edge must be extended 5 mm past it. 3 mm internal bleed or type area - we recommend you keep all important information al least 3 mm in from the trim.
Resolution
For high-quality printing, color and greyscale images must be 300 dpi (maximum 350 dpi) and placed at 100% of their actual size to avoid loss of clarity. Monochrome bitmaps require a higher resolution of 1200 dpi. Essentially, you should size your images exactly as they will appear on the page before importing them to ensure they remain sharp and professional.
Email with attachment must be less than 5Mb. Larger files should be sent on CD or contact us for help.
If there are only 3 or less colours use Pantone Spot colours (Pantone CVC if possible). The same file should be supplied as an additional.
