As a general rule your corporate details
are transferred to the product by screen-process printing
or tampo printing and these processes are ideally suited to
producing line colours. This caters for the vast majority
of orders as we can obtain very accurate colour matches in
close registration. Unfortunately, the processes cannot meet
the standards of our quality control department if used for
printing full colour (Four colour process) and for this reason
we do not undertake such work. However, new printing processes
are constantly emerging and our policy on this is always under
review. You are advised to ask if you have a requirement for
this type of printing.
For line colour printing we accept artwork
on a variety of media as follows:
Digital Media
 Your
artwork can be supplied in digital form for the PC or Mac
using the following media:
 3.5"

Digital files can be created in a variety
of formats but only a small number of these are capable of
producing acceptable quality for Screen or Tampo printing.
The following is a list of acceptable formats.
 EPS
Files created in Adobe Illustrator. This is the most universally
acceptable file format for line printing. For multi-colour
work, please ensure that each colour is on its own layer,
as this will enable us to colour separate your artwork and
make modifications if required. Additionally, each layer must
be clearly labelled with its colour reference and all fonts
must be converted to outlines before saving. Unfortunately,
we cannot accept tints.
 TIFF
Files are acceptable for single colour work only. The image
must be in black & white and not colour. The files should
be sufficiently large to ensure that sharp edge definition
can be printed. You should be able to check this by printing
your image on a laser printer at 200%.
 JPEG
Files are acceptable for single colour work only. The image
must be in black & white and not colour. Files should
be sufficiently large to ensure that sharp edge definition
can be printed. You should be able to check this by printing
your image on a laser printer at 200%. Please be careful when
saving JPEG files as they are designed to compress on copying.
This has an adverse affect on quality.
Please remember to check all digital files
for Viruses before sending them and clearly mark any disks
with your company name and e-mail address.
