Guidelines for
producing your artwork
•If possible
supply your own artwork (preferred). This way you can spend
as much time as you like creating the perfect look that is best
for your chosen project.
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. |
