  • All fonts should be converted to curves/outlines.
  • All files used for layout, (EPS, JPEG,TIFF) to be included in high resolution form (300DPI) & images should not be embedded in the document.
  • Please supply images up to required size exactly.
  • Any background or image that butts against the edge of the print area should include 5mm bleed.
  •  Show spot colours as PMS (Pantone Coated) colours.
  • Images downloaded off the internet are not suitable, they must be recreated.

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.

FYI

As there are so many products & decoration options available, there maybe other specifications and/or limitations for your product. We will contact you if the art supplied is not suitable. Logo degradation (low resolution pixelation) is a common problem and can leave a negative impression of your company and/or it’s products. If you have been supplied with a poor quality logo file don’t worry. It can be fixed quickly and professionally with very little cost.
