Some digital guidelines

How do you know the image you are sending us is going to reproduce as you imagine. How do you get the best quality out of the images you send. We will still always recommend scanning your flexible artwork whenever possible as the results we get from our in house scanning is still the best way to ensure the highest quality. However this is not always possible nor practical - so how do you get the best images out from your digital scans or photographs. First set your camera or scanner to the highest quality setting. We want your device to capture the most information possible - to give us the biggest file size possible. On your digital camera this means you will not be able to capture nearly as many pictures on your card but for printing we really do need these bigger file sizes to print the best quality. Always aim to get 300dpi at the size you want your image to be printed. We prefer either tiff files or jpg files. You can then send us your jpeg file via email or upload your tiff file to our FTP site as it will be too large to send via email.

Alternatively we are happy to receive images and files on Zip, CD, or DVD.

The next step to ensuring you get the printed result you expect is to have a colour proof prior to printing. It is always a good idea to have a colour proof of a digitally supplied image as all print machines print slightly differently and colour will vary. We have a special offer running at the moment and for the month of March, your colour and text proofs are free!
