Artwork When it comes to supplying your artwork, we are able to accept the following file types:
Microsoft Office Files, Publisher, Word, Excel & Powerpoint. Please note that fonts that are not on our system will automatically change without knowledge. Therefore we recommend that only standard fonts are used when designing within these file types. Bleed of 2mm must be allowed on all trimmed edges of the artwork.
We also require a minimum 5mm margin to contain all text and images which do not bleed off the finished size. Artwork will only be processed on receipt of written, fax or email confirmation of the full order and receipt of payment. We will ALWAYS send your artwork back to you for approval before progressing to print stage. Once artwork has been approved the printing process will start and any desired changes will be charged accordingly. Any artwork which we change for you will incur a minimum 1 hour design charge (£15). Once you have placed your order, please email all relevant files (below 20mb) through to us at artwork@gpprint.co.uk. Although we can accept up to 20mb please be aware that your email account will have a file size limit (check with your email service provider) Please note in the subject space the online order number. If your files are 20mb or larger, please place them on a CD or memory stick and send by post. Alternatively, you can use one of the many 'upload' websites available. You can then send us the relevant link to your files. CDs and memory sticks will not be returned unless specifically requested at time of order. Preferably please supply CMYK files at 300 dpi. A lower dpi means a lower resolution, which will in turn mean blurry images. Files supplied as RGB must be converted to CMYK in order to print them. The process of conversion always changes the colours used - sometimes slightly, sometimes significantly. Please note. The image you see on screen does not necessarily represent the final printed result. We cannot be held responsible for any artwork copyright infringements on artwork supplied by customers. The customer must have permission to use all images, text and logos that are supplied to us. When approving the artwork, prior to printing, the customer acknowledges that copyright responsibility is held with themselves, and not GP Print. Have you got an idea in your head, but do not have the means to create a print ready document? Let our design department create exactly what you are after or leave the create bit to us. Typical design charge is £15 per/hour. We will give you an estimate design time before you ask us to progress. The more information and imagery you supply the smaller the design charge e.g. A word document containing all the text you require with a scanned sketch of layout will help reduce cost. Most design work takes 1-2 hours. Call or email your requests. Please note that artwork charges must be paid for prior to print commencing. Please check your proofs carefully, clearly acknowledging any corrections or amendments. It is the responsibility of the customer to check that the artwork is grammatically, numerically and stylistically correct before passing any copy to the designer. If there are no alterations to be made, please reply with confirmation of the approved artwork. Once approved the printing stages will start, any alterations identified after this time will be subject to additional fees. |
