Hints and Tips

Artwork – Technical Information

Process Colour - All artwork supplied must be based on CMYK. It is essential that black text is generated using only black.
Printing Resolutions - When supplying images for print, please ensure that they have a resolution of at least 300dpi when placed at 100% size
Supplying Files - For best results send files in PDF format. We cannot be responsible for any text that is corrupted or 'drops out' ALL Fonts should be embedded.
Paper Sizes and Bleeds - When supplying files, please allow a 3mm bleed. When positioning text, please allow 5mm from the edge of the finished document to allow for cutting.
Colour Reproduction - For digital print jobs IED will not supply a proof unless specifically requested. For Lithographic printed jobs we will provide you with a colour proof copy on request, but this is not an exact colour match. We can provide a 'spot' colour service if required.

Responsibility - We do not accept responsibility for any inaccuracies in artwork. Whilst every effort will be made to inform you of any apparent errors, we will reproduce the artwork you provide without further proof-reading on our part.
