Print Methods:
Digital
Printing of digital images on physical surface. Digital Printing requires an image resolution of at least 300dpi; anything less will result in a poor quality print
Image Type: Vector or Bitmap
File Formats: EPS, AI, PDF, Hi-Resolution (300dpi) JPG or Hi-Resolution (300dpi) TIFF
Colours: CMYK - Full Colour
Litho
Litho printing is similar to digital printing, but Litho Printing allows for full colour prints to various physical surfaces. Image resolution requirement of 300dpi.
Image Type: Vector or Bitmap
File Formats: EPS, AI, PDF, Hi-Resolution (300dpi) JPG or Hi-Resolution (300dpi) TIFF
Engrave
This is a process that requires carving of design on hard flat surfaces by cutting grooves into it.
Image Type: Vector
File Formats: EPS, AI, PDF
Colours: N/A
Screen
This is a precess based on creating separate screens for each colour on the artwork. Each screen acts as a layer, with each layer printed in order to build up a complete image.
Image Type: Vector
File Formats: EPS, AI, PDF
Colours: Spot Colours - Pantone References Required
Emboss
This is a process that creates an impression of design on the material that allows for marks to remain once the pressure is released. Blind embossing is when the design remains the same colour as the material. Foil embossing is when the design is filled with metallic paint usually gold or silver.
Image Type: Vector
File Formats: EPS, AI, PDF
Transfer
Transfer printing is a method of applying an image to a curved or uneven surface like porcelain, but can also be used for cloth.
Image Type: Vector or Bitmap
File Formats: EPS, AI, PDF, Hi-Resolution (300dpi) JPG or Hi-Resolution (300dpi) TIFF
Colours: CMYK - Full Colour
Embroider
Designs are recreated on material by stiching strands of thread or yarn. It is best to use solid colours than pantone colours as embroiderers use a different colour code based on the threads used, so colours are matched as close as possible.
Image Type: Vector
File Formats: EPS, AI, PDF
Colours: Spot Colours - Pantone References Required
Mould
This is the process of using various materials to create a bespoke item.
Image Type: Vector
File Formats: EPS, AI, PDF
Colours: Spot Colours - Pantone References Required
Font Requirements:
There are a lot of different fonts available. If the printers do not have your specific font, when they open your artwork file it will automatically be replaced with a default font. Please make sure all fonts on your artwork are converted to outlines to prevent this. You can also send us the fonts you have used if you have permission to do so.
Pantone Colours:
Pantone references below are samples of the pantone colours available. Please if you do not know the pantone colours of your artwork try to match it to a reference as close as possible. The chart is for guidance purposes only. Colour settings will vary from one screen to another, and will not necessarily be a true reflection of printed results.
