We are can accept artwork in most commonly used, digital formats.

Our system is set-up to operate in a PC or Apple Mac (OS9 and OSX) environment.

Preferred software is Quark Xpress (versions 4 through 6) or Adobe Acrobat PDFs.

We also run Adobe Creative Suite with the latest versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.

We can also accept files formatted for PC.

Please contact us with any specific software supply questions.

Image Formats

Colour / Greyscale and Bitmap images

Please supply images as TIFF or Photoshop EPS at a minimum resolution of 300dpi and at 100% of printed size.

JPEG files should only be used if absolutely necessary, e.g. To save on file size.

Bitmap TIFFs should ideally be sent at 1200dpi.

Please do not include any ICC profiles in your saved images.

Vector EPS files

Illustrator or Freehand EPS files should be ‘Saved as’ EPS, not exported.

Remember to supply any linked bitmap image files that are present in files.

PDFs

Our workflow system is designed specifically to deal with PDF files.

Please ensure they are CMYK or Greyscale, that the artwork is centred on the artboard and that all fonts are embedded and subset.

Also ensure that the PDF is generated at the highest possible quality.
