Submitting Artwork

Artwork Submission:

Our clients are welcome to submit their own artwork however the following requirements must be met with regards to format and picture quality to guarantee good results:

• Image Formats: EPS, PDF, Tiff and Jpeg
• Resolution: 300dpi
• Colour: CMYK only
• Program formats: Corel, Photoshop, PDF, Illustrator, Publisher, Serif PagePlus

Pleas convert all fonts to curves when submitting a Corel file.

Third Party Applications:

A lot of work is required to re-purpose low quality artwork and material supplied in Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and even Excel, keep this in mind when supplying material. Help us make your planning easier.

CMYK:
Definition: To reproduce full-color images, a typical printing press uses 4 colours of ink. The four inks are placed on the paper in layers of dots that combine to create the illusion of many more colours. CMYK refers to the 4 ink colours used by the printing press. C is cyan (blue), M is magenta (red), Y is yellow, and K is black, the key plate or keyline colour.
A mistake often made when submitting artwork for 4-color printing is not converting the images to the CMYK colour space. This is needed so that the file can be separated into the four colours (see example) so that a separate printing plate can be made for each of the colours.
