File supply

Need A Print perform basic checks on each print file. We check resolution, size, bleed and safe margin. Any other parts of the file we do not check and it is up to the customer to ensure their artwork is supplied as per our guidelines. We do not check content of a file. Where a file is flattened we cannot check the resolution of each photograph and/or object, we check the overall resolution in this case. Files supplied in RGB will be automatically converted to CMYK Fogra 39. We cannot be held responsible for colour shifts during the conversion, we advise all customers to design in a CMYK workspace. PDF's are the preferred file method, where a file is supplied that is not PDF or in a format that supports CMYK we cannot be held responsible for colour changes. Artwork files must be supplied to us in a print-ready PDF (font embedded) format, in CMYK with a minimum 300dpi resolution. 

Artwork files to be supplied as per the size of product selected. We will not adjust an artwork file or change any artwork file to suit an order submitted

Folds

When paper or card is folded a small amount of cracking can occur along the spine especially if heavier stock is used and this is normal.

If a solid cover is used along the spine the cracking may appear more pronounced. It is better to use a lighter colour along the spine to prevent any cracking being amplified

We are not liable for any cracking on a folded item
