Artwork Specifications
Tips for supply of artwork:
- When supplying artwork in PDF format please set the relevant bleed requirement
- When there is a Keyline in use, please set as a special colour to overprint so it doesn't embed
- Please outline fonts before distilling the PDF
- PDFs are not editable
- Make the document size the same size as trim size, in other words don't randomly float the artwork within a document
- When supplying artwork in its native format it is always better to supply with outlined fonts (however this restricts any typographical edits that may be required)
- If it is likely that changes to artwork may be needed, always supply editable artwork, i.e.. Live text, layered Photoshop documents, fonts etc
- When emailing files always compress prior to sending to avoid corruption
- Any white out text should be set to knockout, not overprint
- Please supply laser and / or mock up of final artwork to show finished piece

In house procedure on receipt of artwork:
Artwork is ripped and made ready for print, we will either revert with hard copy proofs (by request at additional cost) or soft copy proofs.
The RIP device that drives our litho plate setter and Direct To Screen system also drives our proofing which ensures integrity between hard copy proof / plate / screen and printed job. We also make our soft copy (prinergy PDFs) from the same system, again ensuring integrity.
