Creative Thinking
Technology allows the application of imagery on many differing substrates (materials) in varied locations, but the true power of media is only apparent when allied to great design.
At
BizzCreative , we have the experience and expertise to ensure the designs we create for you reinforce your brand or message and reflect the special discipline required for designing on a large or small scale. You can be sure that we will use only the processes and technology that complement your brief.
Artwork Guidelines
You can supply your artwork on CD, DVD or Flash drive. We can receive
files by email or through a artwork transfer.
ARTWORK WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
The artwork files (i.e. InDesign document) plus any related files, placed images, included fonts etc and a colour proof where possible. All original artwork should be designed using CMYK colour settings. Please provide Pantone references where appropriate. If your document contains Pantone references we will automatically print the closest match possible.
If Pantone references or a colour proof are not provided we will print directly from your file and will not be held responsible for unpredictable results as colour matches cannot be guaranteed. We cannot match metallic Pantones. If you are providing artwork which needs to be printed and profile cut you must provide a vector outline. If you don’t provide the vector outline you will be charged artwork time for us to create it.
WE USE THE FOLLOWING SOFTWARE
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe InDesign
Composer/Omega
NOTES ON FILE SAVING FOR SPECIFIC PACKAGES
InDesign
- files must be ’packaged’ so all the related files and fonts are included. Please endeavour not to supply EPS‘s from InDesign, we prefer High quality PDF’s exported WITHOUT image downsampling and WITHOUT compression, with fonts outlined.
Quark Xpress
- files must be exported out and saved as EPS/PDF with all fonts outlined. Please don’t supply native Quark documents.
Adobe Illustrator
- Include all fonts or create text to outlines. Embed all placed images or provide them separately for us to embed. Please ensure that there is no overprint present in your Illustrator artwork.
CorelDRAW/Freehand
- CorelDRAW and Freehand files are only acceptable if saved in PDF or EPS format. When exporting files as EPS make sure to select/create text to outlines. Please note that exporting files from CorelDRAW can produce unexpected results so we recommend that if this application has to be used you provide us with colour proofs.
Adobe Photoshop
- For best results save files in EPS or TIF format at 300dpi at a quarter of the finished size, (dpi should be higher for very close viewing or if the artwork contains text), high resolution JPGs are also acceptable. If this creates a file size of over 500mb please call us for advice. We are now regularly receiving single files of up to 3gb, these are unworkable and very time consuming. We will never send a file over 1gb to our printers so please bear this in mind when creating artwork.
If you need to provide your artwork in PDF format it is imperative that it must quarter size, be hi-res and fonts must be outlined before saving. We do not accept Microsoft Word, Excel, Publisher or PowerPoint documents as artwork files. If artwork is not provided as specified in these guidelines you may be charged for artwork time.
