ARTWORK GUIDELINES - PLEASE READ
At Digiprint Express we accept most common forms of finished file types. Please read our guidelines below to enable us to produce the best possible job for you.

Formats
We can accept most graphic design programme format. These include PDF, Illustrator, Quark, Freehand, In-Design, Photoshop, Tiff's & Jpeg's.

PDF - PREFERRED FORMAT
Please ensure that the resolution is set a minimum of 300dpi when you output your file and that all colours are CMYK.

Illustrator / Freehand
Please ensure that all fonts are converted to outlines and that all colours are CMYK.

Photoshop / Tiff / Jpeg
Please ensure that this is at a minimum of 300dpi and all colours are CMYK.

Bleed and Trim
Please ensure that you include 3mm bleed on your job. We also recommend that you allow 5mm all round from the trim edge for text and graphics. This will stop any 'white strips' from appearing on your job when it is cut down to size.

Do I Need Bleed?
Bleed is the term for colours, lines backgrounds etc that are meant to go all the way to the edge of a product. For example if you want your business cards with a solid red background you will need to 'add' 3mm bleed onto the finished job. If you don't then the 'red background' will result in white strips on the edges.

IMPORTANT
Our prices are shown for 'print ready' artwork supplied. If our designers have to adjust your file then we will contact you and advise you if any additional artwork charges are to be added. We will not undergo any artwork changes without discussing this with you and receiving an authorisation to do so.
