FILE SET-UP GUIDE
Artwork should be supplied at the correct, or intended print size. If you want the print to be 150x100cm, then the file should be supplied as such.
• Vector is best or Image files at 150dpi to 300dpi resolution at
scale of print.
• EPS, TIFF, PDF or JPEG files in either RGB or CMYK colour profile
accepted.
• The quality of our printing is determined by the quality of the

Before submitting the artwork for printing or testing please ensure that you are submitting the final artwork; only then can we guarantee a consistent result from the strike-off to the final print.
Artwork colours can differ significantly from what is viewed on a computer/device screen to what translates onto printed fabrics.
We advise for any large orders whereby a specific colour is required, that a sample be printed for approval prior to the commencement of the order.
