A colour swatch or PMS colour must be supplied and we will match colours as closely as possible. (Due to the colour and nature of materials, 100% match is not always possible). Metallic print of thread for embroidery may cost extra, dishwasher safe prints on glass and ceramics incur extra costs. Although every effort is make to ensure consistency of fabric colours, dye lots vary from time to time.

SCANS & IMAGES

• Any Scans should be four colour process (CMYK) in high resolution format (300DPI). If the scan is any lower resolution, it will be pixelated, any higher & it will be unnecessarily increase files (exception is line work such as single colour logos or type should be scanned at 1200DPI).
• Scans should be scaled to correct final job size at time of scanning, instead of being scaled up or down in the imposition program.
• Line work such as single colour logos or type should be scanned at 1200DPI , and be in black & white & should contain no half tone.
• As some programs embed images & type, please do not send these files as we cannot edit them if required in our printing set up.
