HOW DO I CREATE A PRINT READY PDF?

To prepare your files for print, for the best results we prefer to receive artwork as a press ready PDF.

• All PDFs should be set to high resolution to be press ready
• All PDFs must include 3mm bleed and crop marks
• All fonts must be embedded within Adobe Acrobat: the ‘File > Properties > Fonts’ tab shows a full list of fonts used in the document. Every font should show as embedded or an embedded subset
• Any process colours are converted to CMYK prior to creating a PDF. Converting spot colours to CMYK after creating a PDF may produce unexpected results (especially when transparent effects are involved)
• We recommend using the PDF/X-3 standard
• We recommend checking a PDF using the Output Preview prior to sending us your file. This can show overprinting and will list all the separations included
