The easiest and fastest way to send us your files is through PDF technology. Not only are the files complete (with no missing fonts or links) but they hold true colour management, trapping and open pre-press information. The files are so small in size that it is a breeze to send them over the internet via our ftp and e-mail services - without any loss of quality or data.
We require Artwork trim sizes to be as listed with a 2mm bleed and 4mm on booklets.
