Artwork Guidelines

Your artwork should be supplied as a jpeg, tiff, pdf, psd or eps files, without crops or bleed, at least 120 dpi at full size.

I don’t have any graphics software what should I do?

Our design studio offers a full creation service. Just provide us with a written brief or sketch containing: what text would you like on the banner, your web address, a copy of your company logo/s and any photographs you would like us to incorporate into your design. We will then provide an artwork.

Scale

Files can be supplied at reduced size but ensure the resolution is at least 120 dpi when enlarged to full size ie. 240 dpi @ 50%. The files should be presented in CMYK colour mode. No crops or bleeds are required.

Supported Artwork Formats

JPG files should be saved, where possible with the minimum compression ratio applied, thus ensuring a larger file size ,but retaining maximum quality of the artwork for press.

PDF and EPS files should be supplied with all images in place, in CMYK colour mode, at a resolution of no less that 120 dpi. All fonts should be outlined/embedded in the file, ensuring no external font data is required when opening the file.

PSD files should be supplied with any text layers rasterized, ensuring no external font data is required to open the file.

TIFF Software Adobe Photoshop We accept Photoshop .tif or high quality .jpeg files. Please flatten all font layers.

Microsoft Word

We will accept rough layouts and text in Word for the studio to recreate the artwork in an appropriate graphics application. We do not accept print quality artwork from Word as it gives very poor print results, embedded pictures and logos usually give exceptionally poor print quality.
