Checklist When sending your artwork to Severnprint there are a few steps which will ensure that we are able to process your artwork as quickly as possible: Before saving your file, please remember to: Laser Copy (useful but not essential) Print off a copy of the file to be enclosed with your artwork. This will give the pre-press department a good idea of how you expect the job to look, even if it is sent after the digital files. Sufficient Bleed Ensure that coloured areas are at least 3 millimetres over the edge of the page. Document Size Check that the page size in the 'Page Setup' dialogue box matches your document size. Scanned pictures or graphics Scanned pictures or graphics must be at the appropriate resolution for output. They are usually best when they are at least 300dpi. Glue flaps If possible ensure that the image areas designated for glue flaps are free from ink/varnish. To maximise glue strength these areas should not be printed on. The following information should be clearly labelled on your artwork: File Name Please state the saved file name of the jobs to be output. Fonts We hold copies of most fonts available, but to ensure correct output we require your printer fonts to be supplied with the artwork. Please ensure that all fonts that are used are supplied. Type of Computer Please specify the type of computer used to produce your job eg. Mac or PC. Software Used Please state the software used to generate the job and related files eg. QuarkXpress Version 5. If you can send us a PDF we are able to flow this easily through our Prinergy System. Proofs Do you want proofs, if so, what type? Lo-res plotter proof (We call these Form Proof) Best for stationery or text pages. Hi-res plotter proof (Matchprint) – For full colour work Machine Proof – also known as ‘Wet Proof’ produced on the printing press – Used when colour is critical. Digital Copy – For jobs printed on the digital press we provide an advanced copy. Virus Checks Have the files been checked for viruses? If yes, please state the software used and the version.
