ARTWORK SPECIFICATIONS
Printing orders in which YOU, the client, are supplying the artwork, require complete, " Press Ready" electronic artwork set up in accordance with our specifications.
Artwork which does not meet our specifications may be returned for correction, or we will provide a quotation for fixing any problems.
Adelphi Printing accepts files from the following applications:
- Adobe Acrobat (.pdf)
- Adobe Illustrator (.ai, .eps)
- Adobe InDesign (.indd)
- Adobe Photoshop (.psd, .jpg, .tif, .eps)
If you do not have one of these formats, most industry standard programs allow you to save in PRESS QUALITY PDF format, which is also acceptable. If you're familiar with using PDF job options, then you can use the attached PDF job obtains file to produce your PDF file (click here to view file.)
TO ENSURE YOU GET THE BEST QUALITY PRINT JOB WE RECOMMEND YOU FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE RULES:
Add BLEED: Please make sure that 3mm bleed is placed on your artwork on all sides. Artwork to be 1-up on a single page document. No spreads please.
Add TRIM MARKS: Trim marks tell us the exact size of your job and ensure that no vital information is accidently trimmed off.
CLEAR MARGIN: PLEASE ENSURE all text is placed at least 3mm INSIDE the trim to allow for slight variations in trimming
Convert TEXT to OUTLINES: Where possible convert your text to paths, curves or outlines.
IMAGES: Please ensure that all images supplied are 300dpi at their final printed size.
Please Note: DO NOT 'upsize' low resolution images to 300dpi as this may result in a poor quality finished result.
Convert your images to CMYK: If you are printing a job in FULL COLOUR make sure all images are CMYK (not RGB).
Please Note: SCREEN COLOURS ARE NEVER ACCURATE - please check your Pantone or CMYK specifications. Certain Pantone colours are outside the printable colour range of CMYK devices. If you require specific Pantone Spot colours, please ensure you request a quote for Pantone Spot Colours.
Supply all ATTACHED files: Please remember to supply us with all the relevant files for output (eg. fonts and graphics) otherwise this may incur a delayed delivery. This is is particularly relevant if supply Adobe Illustrator/Indesign native files.
