File Types 

 Pdf's are preffered but we are also happy to accept the following formats -
 Illustrator  - eps, ai,
 Photoshop - jpeg, tiff and psd (1200 dpi BITMAP),

When supplying files please ensure all fonts are turned to outlines (illustrator) or curves (corel draw).

Tints and and screens don't reproduce successfully. Please ensure artwork is 100% BLACK and white fill, care should be taken when selecting line widths, "hair lines" do not reproduce well and tend to break in the etching process, we recommend a minimum of two points line width.

When creating documents in Illustrator please ensure document colour mode is set to CMYK

All files should be supplied as you want them to look i.e  black on white and forward reading.

Please ensure film is negative, with emulsion side down.

Paper copy must be played out on a laser printer, copy from inkjet printers is not suitable, we also request it is black and white and suggest it is as crisp as possible.

All artwork will be reproduced at the size supplied, unless stated otherwise
We can reduce or enlarge artwork free of charge.

WORD FILES
A special note about word - word does not embed fonts if you are using an unusual font, please supply the font and fax a visual. If this is not possible please post artwork.
If we don't have the font you are using, Word will show it in another font, if we don't have a visual we wont know this is incorrect.

Where possible we suggest using open office to create files and export as a pdf. This is a free program and a great, easy to use alternative to word.
