ARTWORK GUIDELINES
PRINT SIZE - It is critical that you supply your artwork at the actual size you'd like it printed and at a high enough resolution for us to accurately reproduce your work.
BORDERS - Consider what borders you would like in mm for the top, bottom, left & right of your print. Allow enough space for numbering, signing and framing. Its often best to consult a professional framer for advice - we recommend www.theframers.net
WATERMARKS - Some papers are watermarked. If you would like to retain these consider where they should lie on your finished print. We can send you templates for specific papers.
DECKLED EDGES - Some papers are supplied with 2 or 4 deckled edges. In most cases our printers can retain these for you. Obviously we can't change the paper size so its crucial you scale your artwork to give the borders you'd like.
COLOUR REFERENCES - Beware of relying on the colours on your monitor, colours can vary dramatically from monitor to monitor. Monitors reproduce colour in RGB your job will usually be printed in Pantone spot colours. Pantone colours on screen are significantly different from those in a Pantone Swatch book. If accurate reproduction is important to you we would encourage you to pick your colours from a Pantone Swatch book or to supply a hard copy printed proof that we can match to. We appreciate Pantone swatch books are expensive and not always easily accessible, some clients supply paint swatches from thier local DIY store.
If you are unable to meet these artwork 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.
