Colour Specifications

We can't match your screen. Your computer monitor is RGB made up of Red, Green and Blue. When we print we use inks CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) so your printed artwork will look different to what you see on screen. If your logo has a PMS colour to match please do let us know :)

Please make sure all colors are in CMYK mode for color accuracy and a better quality output.

 

Image Resolution

► All images should be 300 dpi


 

What is bleed?

No machine can print colour to the edge, hence the requirement for bleed. Full bleed means the image is printed larger or exceeds the final dimensions of the document required. Once printed, everything is then trimmed down to the finished size. We use and specify 3mm bleed. This means an A4, for example, would be 303mm x 216mm, then trimmed down to 297mm x 210mm.

 

Business Cards

A standard business card is 90mm x 55mm.

If you require a business card with edge to edge colour, you will need to make the first layer or background image 3mm bigger than the 90 x 55 card. Physical dimensions would be 96mm x 61mm.

 

DL Rack Cards

A standard rack card is 210mm x 99mm

If you require a rack card with edge to edge colour you will need to make the first layer or background image 3mm bigger than the 99 x 210 card so the physical dimensions would be 216mm x 105mm.

Printing Process

 

What type of printing process is used?

All products are printed on our 4 colour digital press. The four colour process (CMYK) is an industry standard whose results can be seen at any news or magazine stand. During this procedure, small dots of Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y), and Black (K) are printed on the paper in a precise fashion forming a full spectrum of colours.

 

What types of paper are used?

All our products are printed on high quality paper stocks. Everything is satin and coated. We use very few weights just to keep things simple. Our lightest weight is 150gsm and our highest is 350gsm. Where and how you use these stocks is up to you. Talk to us and let us help you achieve your goals.
