• Files should be saved as 400dpi PDFs in sRGB color space. Each colour should be submitted in a seperate PDF in black ink with the colour clearly labeled in the file name. The maximum file size is 2 megabytes (per page). Files should be submitted with the page size set to the final paper size with at least a half inch border on all sizes. Please inquire about any page imposition needs (extra). A colour JPG or PDF proof is appreciated. We can also work from InDesign CS5 packages with all colours on their own layers.

• Artwork Tips

• -- Avoid large areas of solid colour. The result will be uneven at best.
• -- When adjusting images, open up mid-tones to ensure proper contrast.
• -- When multiple colours are need, leaving an area at the centre edge of the sheet free from tone on at least one colour layer will result in cleaner final prints.
• -- Four colour printing is possible. Please contact us for details and pricing.
