Q. What is the best format for supplying my artwork?
File Format - Single page PDF
Colourspace - CMYK
Bleed - 3mm
Resolution - 300dpi
Fonts - Fully embedded or converted to outlines. Fonts that are embedded subsets or converted to outlines are not editable. Please consider this if you think you may want us to amend it down the line.
Crop marks - Always, yes please.
Note - Unless you tell us otherwise, all colourspaces will be automatically converted to CMYK using the latest available tables. This may cause a shift in colour and an undesirable result from what you intended. Please be sure, especially with corporate colours, that the file is set up for quality CMYK printing.
