Artwork Requirements for Printing
Artwork File Formats That We Accept:
- PDF Files (.pdf) - must flatten layer & convert to curves (see below)
- EPS Files (.eps) - must flatten layer & convert to curves (see below)
- High Quality TIFF Files (.tiff)
- Adobe Illustrator (.ai) - must flatten layer & convert to curves (see below)
- Adobe Photoshop (.psd) - must flatten layer (see below)
- Adobe InDesign (.indd) - must flatten layer & convert to curves (see below)
File Format Requirements:
- All files: must be in CMYK mode
- All files: must contain at least 5mm bleed & 3mm margin
- Any images / photos must be in 300dpi (anything lower will result in a lower quality print)
How to Convert to Curves in Native Format:
- Please unlock & flatten all layers before continuing the next step
- Adobe PDF files: all fonts must be converted to curves (vector) in their native format
- Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign & EPS files: flatten all layers, select all, convert to "Create Outlines" mode
- Adobe Photoshop files: all layers flattened
- QuarkXPress & Corel Draw files: convert files to EPS format, open in Adobe Illustrator, flatten all layers, select all, convert to "Create Outlines" mode
Common Mistakes:
- Files are in RGB mode: will result in a slight colour distortion (yellow in CMYK mode is different from yellow in RGB mode).
- Fonts in Adobe PDF or Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign or EPS files are not converted to curves (vector). In Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign, "Select All", then "Create Outlines" then PDF the file. Why curves? Because we may not have the fonts that you are using, therefore the program will substitute the font with something else.
- Layers in Adobe Photoshop are not flatten. Why flatten? Because we may not have the fonts that you are using, therefore the program will substitute the font with something else.
- 5mm bleed not provided: will result in white border between the artwork & the edge of the paper.
- 3mm safety margin not provided: will result any artwork near the edge of the paper improperly trimmed.
Printing in Spot Colours:
Spot colour jobs must be designed properly in the program that you use, by using Pantone naming system (PMS) (please refer to Pantone Colour Formula Guide).
In Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, or Adobe Photoshop, go to Swatches and select the following:
- Pantone Solid Uncoated - for paper stock without coating (for bond paper).
- Pantone Solid Coated - for paper stock with coating (for paper with gloss / matt coating).
