ARTWORK REQUIREMENTS

Artwork….. This is actually the single most important part of all of our printing processes, because no matter how talented our printers are, the end result is only ever going to be as good as your artwork, it is important to have the correct art files when starting a print job.

To enable us to provide you with the best print possible and to save you on any additional re-drawing or artwork costs, the below specifications are required when sending through your art files:

– Adobe Illustrator CS5 (No Clipping Masks)

– Corel Draw CS5

– Vector Line Art

– Text converted to curves/outlines

Screen Printing

Artwork that is saved as .png / .jpg / .tiff / .gif are unsuitable as they are unable to provide us with the flexibility and quality we require to produce film work.

Direct to Garment Digital Printing, Digital Transfers and Digital Wide Format Printing

There is more flexibility with regards to the art files that we can use, while Corel & Illustrator files are still highly preferred, we can produce quality finishes using .jpg and Photoshop .psd files as long as the file is of high quality.

As part of our service we supply all of our customers with detailed layouts for approval and will not proceed with any printing until you are completely satisfied with your proof and have either replied via email or signed fax with authority for us to proceed. 

We also offer an in-house art department that can help with your art requirements. If you are unsure about the quality of your artwork, would like to confirm how many colours are part of the print, require re-drawing or full creation of your logo.
