Artwork Costs
|
 |
 |
These are based on straightforward re-setting of the job. For instance: you may have designed your own business card, letterhead, compliment slips etc. in Word, Publisher, Excel, etc. We cannot produce directly from these file formats due to a couple of reasons.
Graphics/logos embedded in these files are low-res (this keeps the file sizes down) @ 72dpi. For best quality print we require 300dpi, which is why we ask for the graphic/logo to be supplied separately in its native hi-res state.
Most people who are not familier with print production normally supply their artwork as 1-up, (a single card on a sheet). We need to plan cards at least 4-up (or more, depending on quantity required). This 4-up layout then needs accurate crop/trim marks placed in position. Compliment slips need planning 3-up with the appropriate crop marks.
This usually entails us having to export the Word / Publisher document as a pdf, which is then imported into Adobe Illustrator for fixing the colours/bleeds/crop marks etc. Fonts often don't convert well on transfer. It's usually quicker for us to reset the job from scratch which is why we do sometimes need to make a small charge.
If you are providing print-ready artwork then please ignore the following artwork costs. Just take the print prices (found on the relevant page) and add VAT. Delivery is normally free to one UK address.

IMPORTANT:
If you are providing print-ready artwork then these costs can be ignored. In many cases if we are required to do the artwork, and find it very straightforward, then we do not charge. The above prices are just a guide and we would advise you on any artwork costs once we know what is involved. |
As mentioned earlier, these artwork costs relate to straightforward resetting and assume a suitable (where required) hi-res logo has been supplied. If you think your artwork may entail more work than this, e.g. your logo needs redrawing to a suitable standard, then please do not hesitate to contact us for a quotation.

Why are Artwork costs shown separately?
If you've ordered cards, or any other stationery for that matter, and have paid the artwork costs and decided to re-order at a later date then, providing there are no changes to the artwork, you would only need to pay the print costs shown on each relevant page.
If there are changes to the artwork the next time you order, then we would only charge for the plate(s) that have been affected.
For instance, you may have a 3 colour card where the logo is red & blue, but all other text is in black. If you change something that only affects the text then you would be charged for that film/plate only. (In this case the black plate only). |
Can I see samples of your work?
