WHAT IS 'ARTWORK PERFECTION SERVICE'?

We understand that providing the perfect artwork can be tricky so we have provided a service that can help you out. When purchasing this service along side a film positive we will check your artwork for you. Here is what we will check;

• Artwork size. Let us know the exact size you need the want your image and will will make sure it is printed accordingly.
• Artwork colour. Your artwork should be set to 100% black and white. We will make sure you do not have any unwanted halftone colours.
• Resolution. We will make sure your artwork is not blurry. If you have not provided a vector artwork, we may suggest exposing a vector version of your artwork instead of the original. In most circumstances we will provide the new vector for you.

This service is priced at £25 per design however if the image is particularly tricky we may need to spend more time perfecting your artwork. This would be at a pre-agreed cost.
Once we have checked your artwork, we will provide a digital mock up for you to approve before dispatching.

Please note: While we aim to complete all orders within a couple of days, this service may take a little longer depending on the complexity of your designs.
