Artwork Guidelines:

We do not charge for artwork or proofs if professional artwork is supplied to the specifications detailed below. However if you would like us to produce artwork, we are happy to do this. When you place your order online we will give you an option to add and artwork charge. The charge is a very cost effective flat fee dependant on the products that you are buying.

Acceptable formats of artwork.

We accept high resolution PDF’s or high resolution JPEG’s (if supplied as CMYK minimum 350dpi or if Greyscale 1200dpi).

Special considerations of NCR

We only accept high resolution PDF artwork for NCR products, these should be set up as follows: Fonts: Type 1 Postscript (we cannot process TTF/OpenType fonts). Minimum resolutions as detailed above.

Two colour plus work

Before producing PDF’s of two colour plus work, please ensure that all colours are spot colour and no CMYK mixes are used. More details

Individual plates

All text and graphics are converted to 350dpi pure black plates (including greyscale areas). Please be careful as some PDF software will convert black to CMYK.

Drilling and perforations

Please allow between 8-10mm text free area around edges.
If you are requesting NCR Books or Pads with perforations please allow at least 25mm free of print on the side of the perforation. If you are requesting drilled holes please allow 35mm free space from artwork on the edge of that side. More details

Bleed

We accept artwork with bleed of 3mm on all sides excepting the allowances for drilling and perforations detailed above. Also, on NCR Sets please do not bleed off on the glued edge as problems with glueing can occur. More details

Sequential numbering.

Please indicate location of numbering as 000000 in red on your artwork PDF. However please do not include the number. Allow space of 10mm depth and 10mm per two numbers for the width (ie 4 digits - 20mm, 6 digits - 30mm etc). More details
