artwork information

We understand that templates are not always suitable for every piece of print. Nevertheless, you could supply your own artwork (preferred). This way you can spend as much time as you like creating the perfect look that is best for your chosen project.
We can produce your artwork for you in our studio. You will be requested to send us a detailed draft layout of how you would like your job to look indicating text, layout, colours, photographs and graphics. All photographs must be supplied either as original photos or as high resolution digital images.
Alternatively you could employ the services of a freelance designer to produce some ideas for your project and then when you have your new artwork ready simply have it sent to us for printing. The advantage of having a professional produce the artwork for you is they will know exactly how to create the correct documents for printing, saving valuable time and headaches.

That's no reason why you shouldn't be able to take advantage of the short run full colour low cost printing with us.

•If we have produced the artwork in our studio then a proof will be supplied for you to carefully check. It is always best to check your proof at least three or four times and if possible have someone else check it also. This is the stage that any errors need to be spotted before it is too late! The proof is for checking all of your details and layout, the colours will not be accurate as this is only intended as a guide of how your job will look..
•Note: If any problems or mistakes are found with the proof that are due to errors on our part, a second proof will be supplied free of charge.
