Our
prices are set based on receiving printer-ready art and at
actual size.
This
means we require your RGB files in JPG or PDF format and already
sized to the "actual size" you wish them to be printed.
Seeing the art at actual size on your screen will help you
determine if the file is likely to print at all well or if
the image is likely to distort with the necessary enlargement
(particularly with tea towels or larger fabric panels).
On
each product page you should find the key information:
- The
size of the final art panel to submit
- A
link to a template if you need to check how your pattern
will fit
- With
all prototype items please remember to accommodate the seam,
which means that you will "lose" a margin of 3cm-4cm
around all the borders, so be sure to crop your artwork
accordingly.
As
regards reproduction quality, so long as the artwork is actual
size a resolution of around 120dpi will be sufficient - especially
if you are using coarser cottons like hopsack canvas. You
are welcome to submit artwork at a higher or lower resolution
if you so choose but be aware you may be charged.
Large
Art: If your artwork is so large that it requires
time consuming downloads from remote servers, please be advised
we may add a surchage for our studio time. This will almost
always be necessary if you submit Tiff files.
Small
Art/Photography for quilting: We are not the right
supplier if you want small swatches for quilting purposes.
Images, particularly photographic, smaller than 15cm are not
suitable and are not likely to yield good results. We would
advise to look for a desktop solution or a dye-sublimation
service.
* Our rates are for processing printer-ready artwork. So if
you have a number of small images to print, please combine
them prior to sending them, in files at least 140cm wide.
This also applies to collages. Be sure to prepare these before
you submit them for printing.
* If you need help with the artwork, we may be able to assist,
but we will charge for our studio time. Our rates are £40/h
and you will be charged a minimum of the first hour's cost.
* Sorry, no phone support: We are too small
a studio to offer phone support. If you have any questions
you can reach us using our
online form
and we will try to respond promptly. |
