SUPPLYING ARTWORK

Our preferred file formats are as follows: PDF, EPS and JPEG.

Photoshop
All artwork should be saved as JPEG (maximum quality). Minimum resolution 150dpi - if not sure please call to check.

Corel Draw
Save as a high-quality PDF or EPS file. Convert all fonts to outlines.

Illustrator
Files should be saved as a high-quality PDF or EPS at output size. It is best to place a clear, non-printing box, to the page area and send to back. If necessary artwork may be scaled down, ideally to half size (mention this when submitting). Convert all fonts to outlines.

Quark Express
In completing your artwork either save as a high-quality PDF, or go to File and select 'Collect for output’ and send all collected fonts and data (Mac format only). If necessary artwork may be scaled down, ideally to half/quarter size (mention this when submitting). Files must be version 6.1 or earlier.

Other Applications
We can accept files created in some other applications - please telephone to discuss.

Please make sure that all supplied artwork is print ready and has been checked for errors. If logos or images are present please make sure they are of the correct resolution/quality for the final output size. SCL regret that we cannot accept responsibility for any problems brought about by these issues.
