Artwork

Our Artwork services
We can produce your advert artwork for you. You should supply a rough layout sketch, with colours specified, along with any logos or special matter required. Digital files are preferred, but we may be able to work from samples of existing printed matter.

Advert Sizes
Each title carries a template size; these are the advert dimensions. If you supply your own artwork, we can resize it to fit different template sizes.

Colours
We print calendars using 4 single spot-colours: black, red 032, reflex blue and green 347. Otherwise, we print to your Pantone instructions(special colours may be simulated through the CMYK process). Prices on request.
Diaries, depending on the material, will be foil-blocked in gold or silver, or blind embossed.

Creating Your Own Artwork
We can produce from these professional grade artworking applications: QuarkXpress, Freehand, Illustrator, PageMaker or InDesign. Please use the generic file format. If no editing is required, convert to paths or outlines otherwise supply all fonts.
Alternatively, you may supply files as editable eps or pdf (1.3) with fonts embedded. Ensure all pdf preferences are set for press optimisation (we can supply on request).
When supplying your artwork, please specify the application used and create artwork to the actual template size of the advert area.

Logos & Four-Colour Process
Logos should be supplied in the generic file format of the application, or as editable eps or pdf files. Only supply raster images such as tiff or jpeg if they are for reproduction in a single colour or four-colour process. Duotones or tritones need to use spot colours specified on your order. Please do not send RGB files.
If you have an image or complex logo we will need a colour-accurate proof such as an Iris or Matchprint. We will produce your artwork from these for your approval. Prices on request.

Sending Your Artwork
Always send hard copy with discs or a low resolution composite with e-mails or ISDN. Any text not converted to paths or outlines must have fonts supplied.
We can accept CD, Zip, Jazz and floppy discs. Files can also be transmitted by e-mail or ISDN. Please speak to your sales contact for details.

Proofing
A full proofing service will enable you to check your advert details before we manufacture your goods (where straight repeats are concerned and a signed proof from the previous year is supplied, we will nor proof unless specified).
