All units with the exception of the Alfresco require a bleed added to the bottom of your visible design.(See BOTTOM BLEED column above). Simply extend the background at the the bottom of the visible area by the specified amount. The extra bleed area is attached to the roller mechanism inside the cassette. Also, position any text or logos at least 150mm above (37.5mm 1/4 size) the base of the visible graphic area.

Artwork can be produced with software such as QuarkXpress 7.2 (Mac) or Adobe Illustrator CS3 (Mac)/ CS1 (PC).

Do not produce your artwork on screen at full size. Set your document size at 1/4 size as specified in the 1/4 SIZE column

Scanned photographic images are preferred as CMYK EPS (or TIFF) files and NOT colour separated. Let us know what size the final image will appear and we will advise the most suitable file size for your cropped image scan (printing is done at 600dpi). As a rough guide a full size photograph completely covering a typical banner would be approximately 120MB (uncompressed file).

Ensure that ALL fonts and imported files in your design are supplied. Text may also be vectorised (converted to curves) as an alternative to supplying fonts.

Ensure that there is no "text linking" or similar connections between items.

Do not include crop marks on your design.

Supply a hard copy colour proof to assist repro (laser colour if possible) and provide all PANTONE reference numbers.

Convert ALL required colours to CMYK (try to minimise the use of black when matching colours) and NOT colour separated.

Should you need any advice with the creation of your disk file please email us or call 0116 2554640. Any editing required to files supplied for reproduction may incur extra cost. Changes and costs would be discussed beforehand.
