Guidelines
As a general rule your corporate details are transferred to the product by screen-process printing or tampo printing and these processes are ideally suited to producing line colours. This caters for the vast majority of orders as we can obtain very accurate colour matches in close registration. Unfortunately, the processes cannot meet the standards of our quality control department if used for printing full colour (Four colour process) and for this reason we do not undertake such work. However, new printing processes are constantly emerging and our policy on this is always under review. You are advised to ask if you have a requirement for this type of printing.

Other File Formats
Digital files can be created in a variety of formats but only a small number of these are capable of producing acceptable quality for Screen or Tampo printing.
TIFF Files are acceptable for single colour work only. The image must be in black & white and not colour. The files should be sufficiently large to ensure that sharp edge definition can be printed. You should be able to check this by printing your image on a laser printer at 200%.
JPEG Files are acceptable for single colour work only. The image must be in black & white and not colour. Files should be sufficiently large to ensure that sharp edge definition can be printed. You should be able to check this by printing your image on a laser printer at 200%. Please be careful when saving JPEG files as they are designed to compress on copying. This has an adverse affect on quality.
Please remember to check all digital files for Viruses before sending them and clearly mark any disks with your company name and e-mail address.. if you have any problems or need advice consult our FAQ section or contact our Studio. We have an extensive library of fonts and a team of graphic artists on hand to help.
