Technically speaking...

Preferred files and programmes:

  • Our working platform is on Macintosh. Files of preference are:
    Adobe Illustrator, Freehand 11, Adobe In-Design, ArtPro, Adobe Photoshop, Quark Express.
  • PDF - (high res where applicable)

    Resolution
  • Resolution is a critical part of our every day workings.
  • Poor quality images do not reproduce well and cannot be up-sampled. Therfore we require supplied art files to be at high resolution (300 dpi at same size is the rule-of-thumb) and as tiff's.
  • Jpeg by nature is compression based and subject to quality loss. At times, jpeg (*.jpg) files are acceptable provided that the resolution is good.
  • PSD (photoshop layered files) are often required in order to allow for production. Particularly clipping and trapping of print-ready files .
  • Print ready and high resolution pdf's are aslo used.
  • Sherpas, Iris proofs and Chromalins to be supplied where necessary
  • We can accept up to a 5 mb, via e-mail
  • File transfer protocol (FTP) files can be accessed subject to authorisation and supplied passwords etc
