OUR FILE TIPS AND INFORMATION FOR YOU

Supported File Formats

Adobe PDF (preferred) / Adobe Indesign / Illustrator / Photoshop / Microsoft Publisher / Word* / Powerpoint* / Excel* (*Has certain limitations. Files can be only full color, or black and white and have no capability for pantone colors)

EPS and Illustrator Files

When providing artwork as an EPS, to prevent missing font issues make sure all text in the document is converted to outlines (Text to Outlines).

Colour Output

All full colour work should be supplied as CMYK (CYAN, MAGENTA, YELLOW, & BLACK), so please remember to covert all RGB images/colours used to CMYK, and covert any spot or pantone colours to process. Single & spot colour work should be supplied in the colour required. If your work uses spot Pantone Colours, ensure that these are all named correctly as either coated or uncoated. Try not to mix the two together.

Images

When Supplying images for print, please remember to save your photographs or other pixel-based images at a resolution of just 300 dpi (dots per inch) – anything less may print with a pixilated ‘jaggy’ look. There is also no need to increase the dpi, as this will not improve the quality of image, but will only increase the size of the file.

Images copied from the Internet (copyright permitting) are not suitable for high quality printing as the resolution is only 72dpi

Please check carefully the resolution of your images – just because they look good on screen doesn’t mean that they will print correctly!

Please save your images in CMYK in one of the following formats: .tiff, .jpg, .psd, .ai, .pdf
