Company Letterheads

What files do we work with? PDF, JPEG and TIFF.

What’s the maximum ink coverage? Ink coverage needs to be restricted to 30%.

What are ‘Trim Marks’? Trim marks or lines show where the product is cut down to size and refer to the end of the paper or the finished size of a product.

What should I know about the bleed? That’s the bit between the trim marks and the rest of the paper and needs continued colour or design from your artwork. It gets chopped off but guarantees no unprinted edges in the final product. Bleed marks are usually 3mm.

What’s the deal with colour variation? Colour on your screen and a printed page may look different. The science bit: screens are backlit, while paper reflects colour. If the tone or shade is critical, contact us and we’ll do our best to get the result you want.

Can I get a sneak preview? In the biz we like to call it proofing, and we’ll always send you a proof copy before we print.
