Ensure the Artwork Size is Correct. Your artwork size should correspond to the product you purchased. If your order is A4 size for example, make sure the canvas of your artwork is A4 size to avoid further complications.
Bleed
Apply Bleed to Your Artwork Bleed is extra content that prints beyond the trim edge of the page. As such, provide extra 3mm of your artwork on all sides.
Safe Margin
A safe margin ( Safe Zone ) of 3mm from the edge. Avoid putting important information too close to the edge as it may be cut off during printing
File Type
A PDF file is strongly recommened for printing. Failure to do so might cause unwanted pixulation
We can also print from eps , ai , jpeg , png , tif. If you do not have a pdf
Fonts
Text size should be 5pt or 1.78mm at minimum as any smaller will not be readable. The font and colour plays a part in the visibility as well, thin and light colored fonts should be used carefully as there is a chance they may not appear visible when printed.
Resolution ( Image Quality )
Your photo should be at least 300 dpi in resolution, otherwise the picture printed may appear blurry.
Colour Mode CMKY
We strongly recommened using CMYK Colours in your artwork. If a file with RGB Colours are supplied our rip software will apply an industry standard profile RGB to CMYK conversion meaning that colours may not print as expected.
Embed Image Links
You can embed your images before saving your file. This will prevent images from “disappearing” when sending your artwork file to print.
Boarders
Borders and frames are not recommended as there are cutting inaccuracies when printing. As a result, the border or frame can appear uneven regardless of how accurate you set your frame in the middle of the artwork.
Transparencys & Effects
If your artwork contains transparency, these need to undergo a process called flattening. Flattening divides transparent artwork into vector-based areas and rasterized areas. Failing to do so may leave clear boxes around images or through text for example when a png image has been put on top of vector lettering, This effects not look as intended.
