Full Bleed Artwork Sizes
Don't want white borders?, we will need a minimum of 3-5mm bleed

Resolution
Recommended 150dpi - 300dpi, Any lower resolution may result in pixelation
Colours
CMYK Colours - Use CMYK colour so your colours don't look different once printed.
Different Paper types will produce different colour finishes and we cannot guarantee exact colour matching because of the below examples:
Example 1 Uncoated paper will have a different white to Coated paper
Example 2 Brand 1 paper will have a different colour to Brand 2 paper
Example 3 Brand 1 printer will have a different colour to Brand 2 printer
Most Computer & Laptop monitors display colours in RGB not CMYK. Every monitor uses different colour modes (Colour Tones, Contrast Levels, Brightness Levels) so this means what is displayed on your monitor may not be printed on paper.
Embedded Fonts
Embed your fonts so they don't change or look different once printed.
We take no responsibility for Fonts/Logos/Text/Images that haven't been embedded or finalised on your Artwork File Correctly. A refund will not be processed for this Artwork Error. It's upto the customer to ensure their Artwork is correct.
Print Sizes
All Poster & Booklet Prints except Plan Prints are printed to "Fit" the "Page Size" selected (Not stretched but kept to ratio). All Plan Prints are printed as Actual Size under the Plan Print Section.
This also means your printing will have a white border on your booklet, posters and plan prints.
We also cannot guarantee exact image centering down to the millimetre as with all commercial printers, paper can move during the print process.
Printing Responsibility
It is the customers responsibility to ensure all artwork/designs/files are correct
Any printing that is done incorrectly due to the artwork/design/files not being correct is the customers responsibility.
We do not check your artwork/design/files as the printing process is automatic
The customer needs to make sure their artwork/design/files are correct specifications.
