Artwork Specifications

It is important that artwork supplied for disc and paper printing is prepared correctly.
Tailored Media Solutions accepts all artwork as electronic files in the following formats:

Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Acrobat
Adobe Indesign
Adobe Photoshop
Quark Express

The following guidelines must be followed when preparing press ready artwork.

Disc Printing

2 types of process - Spot Colour (PMS) screen printing OR CMYK (Full Colour) Offset.
All images at 300 DPI, as EPS or TIFF files (no JPEGs).
If using Pantone (PMS) Colours, ensure that colours are separated as correct Pantone numbers.
When using Pantone colours, ensure artwork is saved as vector files so that a sharp result is achieved.
Avoid using half tones as the screen printing process does not lend itself to achieving a sound result.

Booklet Printing

Files must be saved as CMYK(not RGB) - Spot Colour only printing is possible but must be quoted separately.
All images at 300 DPI, as EPS or TIFF files (no JPEGs).
All fonts must be included (screen and printer) and when using PDFs fonts must be embedded.
3mm bleed should be included on all outer edges of print area.
