Information on supplying artwork

You are welcome to supply your own artwork if you have the tools to do so but we suggest you take time to look over our guidelines for the supply of print-ready digital artwork. They're intended to help you get it right first time. If after reading our guidelines you're still unsure of what to do please give us a call on 01752 841717 and one of our team of operators will be pleased to help you.

Deltor Artwork Supply Guidelines.pdf

Preferably files should be 4 colour (CYMK) or (RGB) compliant and include all required fonts (typefaces) or the text should be converted to paths (outlines). Images should be high resolution (300dpi) and saved in CYMK or RGB mode as a JPEG or TIFF file. Final artwork files should be supplied as a print quality PDF file or an EPS (Encapsulated Postscript) file. Alternatively you can supply the files in the original format ie. Indesign or QuarkXpress but ensure all fonts, links etc are supplied to us. Pages should be set with a 3mm bleed where the design is to be printed to the edge of the sheet and any textual content should not be within 5mm of the edge or the page. For more detailed information on how to supply files correctly please visit www.pass4press.com

Your files can be uploaded to us via our Agfa Apogee Portal web approval system:

Or files can be uploaded to our FTP site. Please contact our reprographics manager for more information and secure username and password
