What does the artwork check cover?

Technical parameters: size, bleed, margins, resolution, colour mode and fonts. We then report what needs fixing.

My logo is only a JPG. What now?

Vector is better for both small and large printing. Vectorising a simple logo can be considered on request.

Will you design from scratch?

For simple items, yes. Describe the task, the content and the style and we will scope the work.

Prepress and artwork preparation

Files are checked before printing, so mistakes are found on screen rather than in a finished run.

Most printing problems start in the file: no bleed, text at the very edge, low-resolution images, the wrong colour mode. A technical check removes those risks before production.

We separate two things: the technical check of a supplied file, and reworking the artwork. The check is a basic step before printing; rework and design are separate work scoped to the task.

Good to know

The amount of rework depends on the state of the source files and is agreed before work starts.
We do not change the content of artwork without approval — edits are confirmed by the client.
