Artwork requirements

Distilling:
Our recommendation is all files are distilled before submission. This requires printing to a postscript file from your relevant program and then running that as a postscript file through Acrobat Distiller. Doing this gives you an accurate preview of the output of your document you will be able to view any output errors. This also helps to attain smaller file sizes as your transparencies will be flattened. Distiller settings can be obtained upon request please email topprint@topprint.biz.
TopPrint will not be held responsible for any postscript/output errors if the supplied file has not been distilled.

File format accepted:
All files are required to be uploaded as a PDF.

PMS Colour:

When submitting jobs for Pantone ink printing your file will need to be setup in the relevant inks that you would like the job printed in. If there are small sections in CMYK these may not appear on your final product even though they may appear the same on your computer screen. The best way to ensure this does not happen is to do colour separations /output preview check in Adobe Acrobat. This way you will be able to turn the relevant colours on and off to see if there are any parts of your document in unwanted colours. The best way to select Pantone colours is to use a Pantone swatch book. Make sure you write the required PMS colours on your print order.

Font:
Ensure all fonts are either embedded in your document or that you convert all fonts to outlines before submitting your file. If fonts aren't embedded your product may output differently as we may not have that font on our system.

Trim (crop) marks:
Always include trim marks on your artwork (trim marks are the final size of your print job) and is the guide we use for finishing.

Bleed:
Ensure your document has 3mm bleed on the outside and ensure any borders, text or critical information is at least 3mm away from the edge of the trim line to allow for any slight trimming variance. Also make sure the artwork size and the size on the printing order is the same.

Resolution:
Ensure all images included in artwork are in 300dpi and all text and linework are in vector format or a minimum of 1200dpi.

Colour Variation/Matching:
If a colour sample is not supplied, TopPrint  will not be held accountable for any colour difference between the expected colour and the actual printed copy, even if the job has been printed previously. On grouped run business cards no colour matching will be available.
