More than 70% of work we undertake is for DIY'ers, and some people like to be more involved than others, but it does carry inherent risks. Still, done properly it allows you to have control and experiment until you find something that works for you and if you work with us, we'll make sure your file will give you the best possible outcome. Below we outline some key areas that will help you get off to a good start or to correct with existing artwork. Unfortunately online programs are great for basic artwork but won't carry the same level of power for file and art manipulations you get from programs such as Illustrator™, Corel™, Photoshop™, and InDesign™.
Image Resolution
Typically, print shops will say "we require a minimum 300dpi for images", but what does that mean?
Consider the two images above, both are 300dpi and both pass many online testing software that may evaluate your file prior to production. Clearly, one is not the same as the other and it leads to unwanted results. We check all artwork prior to production by eye, giving you the confidence that errors will be identified before you receive your printed product.
Crop Marks And Bleed
There are several steps that take place before and after your job has been printed. Trimming will remove excess material and ensure your product doesn’t have unwanted white borders, and its finished size matches your order.
Bleed is deliberate printing to the area that will be trimmed out. The trim/crop marks indicate to production where you want your file trimmed. Having no bleed, insufficient bleed, or improperly set trim marks will result in your job being trimmed inaccurately. Our pre-press desk will check your file carefully prior to print.
Colour Models
Digital and offset printers use the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) colour model. Too often we see files that have been found or generated on the web. Web files use the RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) model, which creates stunning colours but won’t print the same way.
In the above example, the blue on the left is RGB and looks great on all screens. But, converted and printed in CMYK, you can expect the image on the right. If your file contains any RGB, we will tell you, and we will provide you with a file converted to CMYK so you can make an informed decision.
Linework & Colour Percentages
How thick should I make my lines, and is using percentages of colours possible?
Whilst using percentages can give you some great contrasts, a colour percentage, i.e., 50% black, means the machine will put down fewer dots per square inch (DPI), which leads your brain to see it as grey. But, too low a percentage will look washed out. The real danger in linework, for example, is when a line that works well at 0.1mm using 100% black will appear washed out using 50% black. The same is true for many colours.
Whether you are a seasoned designer or competent in graphic design software, your file will still be reviewed prior to production at no cost to you so you get exactly what you need. For reference, the following is a guide for press-ready/print-ready artwork.
Specifications
- If you are presenting double-sided artwork, the file must be two separate .pdf files (i.e., side 1 / side 2).
- If you elect for our RIP to interpret your non-CMYK colours, you understand these can sometimes vary greatly from printer to printer.
- All files under A1 should have at least 3mm bleeds, and five is preferred. Files larger than A1 should have a 10mm bleed.
- Your files must be presented as a .pdf and:
- All text to Curves/lines.
- All images 300dpi.
- .psd files must be flattened.
- Please ensure small text is not in CMYK as slight movements may blur your print.
- Linework: Unlike offset, very thin lines may not work well on products such as Mesh Banners. Please speak to us directly if unsure.
- Registration marks are not required.
- All artwork must be 1up. Multiple designs should be presented separately for our press to impose in-house.
- All print merge files must be 1up. We will impose your files and, if you elect, a soft proof can be provided.
- Magazine covers, front and back should be in spreads with inner pages presented in singles. For perfect binding, please check with us for gutter sizes which may vary depending on stock.
