1. Supported File Formats and Artwork
Artwork supplied by customer must be in print ready format with high resolution images and / or vector outlines, otherwise an additional artwork set-up charge may apply.
We only accept following artwork formats: .ai, .eps, .cdr, .pdf
Note many file formats eg. Microsoft Word (.doc), Exel (.xls), Powerpoint (.pptm) and other various office suite packages can be saved as .pdf files and this will prevent any change in layout other than scale when these files are being printed. Many images from these formats will not be of very high resolution and cannot be guaranteed to be print friendly.
Note while our digital equipment supports the Pantone reference system we cannot guarantee 100% matches on all Pantone colours due to the wide range of substrates, laminates, inks and printing profiles in use, however we will try to match the colours as close to original reference colours supplied as possible.
