artwork supply & software

Please read and follow these guidelines where ever possible so we can endevour to print your work to the highest possible standard and in the shortest possible time.

Depending on the type of software used different guidelines will apply, and also they may differ depending on whether printing in colour or B&W.

The main guideline that applies to all digital printing is to:

• QuarkXpress
• Photoshop
• Illustrator
• Freehand
• PageMaker
• CorelDraw
• MS Word
