USING BLACK CORRECTLY - if using black as a fill colour in a CMYK design and you want to reproduce a strong dense black please make sure the black in your file is made up of 30% Cyan, 30% Magenta, 30% Yellow and 100% K (Black).

TEXT - Any text must be at least 3mm away from the edges of the trim size and if using black for small text please ensure it is made up of 100% K (black) only and set to Overprint. Pease convert all text to outlines (aka paths, curves) where possible. Minimum suggested point size is 6 point for readability.

DIE CUTTING - if die cutting is involved please supply your required cut line as a 0.25mm Magenta stroke set to Overprint and on a separate layer. Please include 3mm bleed outside the cut line.

SPOT UV / FOILS -  if you require either of these options please select a spot colour and name it UV or FOIL and assign it to relevant artwork, always set to Overprint.

ARTWORK FOR BOOKLETS / BROCHURES - please supply as a PDF file with 3mm bleed and as single pages in reading order.

OVERPRINT ISSUES - Please supply all artwork set to overprint rather than knockout unless instructed otherwise. We will usually set all trapping in house. 

If you are unable to meet these requirements you may incur an artwork charge. This is charged at £25:00 p/hr. Please feel free to call or email for advice no matter how basic, we are here to help.
