ARTWORK SPECIFICATION FOR DIGITALLY PRINTED BANNERS
For digital printing the artwork must be of high resolution, no less than 300dpi at ¼ size.
We can only use files that can be opened on a PC. Files from MAC computers will not open unless they are converted to a PC file. MAC files can be converted to a PDF file.
Files sent from a PC should be sent using Photoshop, Illustrator 10 and saved as: EPS, Tiff or AI. (Please ensure that a PDF file is included with any of these file formats so that our Sales team can open on a sales PC.)
All fonts within the files should be converted to curves.
When artwork for banners is being produced remember:
- 1. For hemmed and eyeleted banners add an extra 40mm all round or bleed to the print size if you don’t want white hems.
- 2. For pole pocketed banners the formula is 4 x diameter of round pole + 15mm for stitching. If banners are to be double-sided remember to check your artwork for how hem or pocket turn over is going to affect the graphic on the other side.
- 3. Make any pictures or text at least 50mm inside finished size of banner to allow for the stitching.
- 4. To get the best colour results the artwork must be saved as CMYK rather than RGB.
YOUR ARTWORK MUST BE PRINT READY OTHERWISE ARTWORK CHARGES OF UP TO £60 PER HOUR MAY BE INCURRED – BUT ONLY WITH YOUR AUTHORISATION.
This specification does not cover artwork for flags – please contact us for details.
