File Preparation
- Please follow the guide on the right side
to reduce potential problems, avoid additional
costs and speed up production and delivery.
Scanning resolution is usually twice the output line screen. A resolution
of 600 DPI or close is ideal when scanning colour and grey scale materials.
B/W art should be scanned no higher than 600 DPI.
Text should be at 600 DPI. Always scan at 100% final size of your document.
2. COLOUR MODES
No RGB images. RGB is used for viewing images on a monitor. Please convert
to and save all your images in CMYK mode. Your images will not output
properly if your files are not set up in CMYK.
3. BLEEDS
A bleed occurs when the ink prints to the very edge of the paper. For bleeds,
you must extend your artwork beyond the border page by a minimum of 2mm.
4. PROOFREADING
Please spell-check your document and review all other information carefully
before submitting your files to us to ensure accuracy.
5. IMAGE FILES
Please submit all image and graphic files used in your document.
Include the original copies of each graphic file.
All files must not contain linked files.
6. FONTS
Please submit your files with all the necessary fonts included - both screen
and printer fonts used in your document. Without the printer fonts
we can not create a proof or plates for your print job.
The alternative easy way is to outline the fonts or convert your fonts to curve.
7. PRINT GUIDE
Please send us a mock up or dummy of your job to serve as a guide.
8. CONTACT INFORMATION
All files and medium sent to us should have the client's complete name
and contact information.
