Artwork: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:01, 29 January 2011

Artwork is a collection of data for anything that will get printed during manufacturing.

These are the basic guidelines when creating artwork:

If you know how to do this, artwork should be a distilled .pdf
Use CMYK color model (do not use RGB)
You need to use templates we give you!
Make at least 3mm bleed on the edges
Keep guiding line in a separate layer as fifth color (C,M,Y,K) or another color (PMS)
Do NOT use transparency (blend it in)
Any vector graphics should remain vector
Fonts smaller than 5pts can't be guaranteed to be printed readable
Images should be 300dpi
Do not place written text too close to edges
Send us image with final result (.jpeg, .png, .tiff)
Send us the source files (.psd, .xcf), if you have them
Send us the all font files used, if you have them
