Templates
Please check to see that your pictures will fit the appropriate template for both size and shape.
Images taken using a Digital Camera
For best results use a digital camera with a minimum of 5 mega pixels and set the picture resolution/quality to its highest or its largest setting. Low resolution/small images may print poorly. Please also name and make clear which of the files to use and where.
Applications
Acrobat PDF is the prefered file format for reciept of print ready artwork. All fonts must be embedded in the document and the resolution high enough for print quality output. Any file editing on PDFs will be charged extra.
We use the following professional graphic applications: Photoshop CS3, Illustrator CS3, IndesignCS3, Acrobat 8 and QuarkXpress 7.
Image quality
Bitmapped images such as photos & some logos should have a minimum resolution of 300 pixels per inch (PPI) at the size they are to be reproduced. A resolution less than this and any required enlargements may make the images look jagged and poor quality.
Digital Print Colours
Digitally produced print uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black to reproduce all printable colours. If a spot colour is specified, a CMYK equivalent conversion will be printed, which may differ slightly. Any tints used should be no less than 5% of solid otherwise they may not appear on the final print.
Fonts
Any required fonts must be supplied with artwork. Alternatively if text does not need to be edited it can be converted to outlines or curves.
Files can be supplied to us by email (if up to 5Mb in size) or burned to CD.
If possible, provide us with a good quality print-out of your data so that we can ensure that what you send us matches your requirements.
