We can produce your artwork for you in our studio. The first 30 minutes is included in the cost of your printing job anything after this will be charged at £15 per hour or part thereof.

If for any reason you choose not to go ahead with your printing, artwork will be charged at £25 for the first 30 minutes, and £20 per 30 minutes or part thereof thereafter.

You will be requested to send us a detailed draft layout of how you would like your job to look indicating text, layout, colours, photographs and graphics. All photographs must be supplied either as original photos or as high resolution digital images.

Alternatively you could employ the services of a freelance designer to produce some ideas for your project and then when you have your new artwork ready simply have it sent to us for printing. The advantage of having a professional produce the artwork for you is they will know exactly how to create the correct documents for printing, saving valuable time and headaches.

If you decide to supply your own artwork you will need to supply a hard copy proof so we can make sure your job matches the artwork file we receive.
From the the artwork files you send we will produce a proof copy which will be sent to you via email or fax so you can have one last check before your job goes to print.

If we have produced the artwork in our studio then a proof will be supplied for you to carefully check. It is always best to check your proof atleast three or four times and if possible have someone else check it also. This is the stage that any errors need to be spotted before it is too late! The proof is for checking all of your details and layout, the colours will not be accuarate as this is only intended as a guide of how your job will look. The first proof is free, extra proofs will be charged at £10 per proof.

Note: If any problems or mistakes are found with the proof that are due to errors on our part, a second proof will be supplied free of charge.
All changes and corrections made by you the author, after we have sent you the first proof are chargeable at £25 per hour (min charge £10)
