Our prices are based on receiving print-ready artwork.

If you know the size and dimensions you wish an item printed, please send the artwork in that size or in those precise proportions.We will print what you send. If we need to edit it, you will be charged studio fees.

Please do not send artwork (eg: 20cm x 30cm, 2:3) and then ask for it to be printed a different size ( 12cm x 48cm ) and in a different proportion (1:4) unless you are prepared to pay studio fees. We cannot guess how you would like it to be cropped.

Please use JPG format, as we ask on the product page. PDF's are transferable but will lose all their background information when reformatted as JPG or Tiff. As for resolution, you should consider using between 140dpi and 240dpi. If the file becomes too large for our upload tool, place your order by email and attach the file.

NB: If you choose to ignore the previous paragraph and send files larger than 40 megabytes,we will charge for extra studio time spent handling, downloading, resizing, etc.

If the design is meant to be a repeating tile, make sure the sides match up properly. If you send a tile that does not repeat we will not produce your preview.

An example? Well, if you want to use an image to the size of a tea towel (70cm x 50cm) please make sure you have tried that enlargement on your PC before you submit the artwork. Or if you need a sampler, try to submit an image that you know can repeat, scale or crop quickly to the sampler dimension of 140cm x 15cm ...

Cotton shrinks when washed* the first time (by at last 1.5cm - 2cms per metre): Always allow for this when calculating the depth of your artwork (* this is important, we do not refund if you get it wrong)

Our previews are done manually and we are a small workshop and so we must prioritise those orders that can be processed more quickly.

If your artwork must be edited at our studio before it is ready for use, your preview could be delayed or it may not be prepared, unless you tell us up front that you are happy to pay for studio support at our standard rate (£35/h)

... we will always try to be helpful, but when, as (any day will do) we receive a request for multiple previews from a new customer who clearly not read this page ... we can get very quiet. -- The Fabric Press Team

HELP? If you need help preparing artwork for fabric printing, our studio time costs £35 per hour.
