Logos

Bleed & Safe Area

Wherever possible it is best to provide us with vector artwork for logos and other graphics used in your calendar advert. If you are unable to supply one of the following file formats, we will endeavour to re-draw the logo from the file supplied, but it will never look as good as a logo supplied as vector artwork and may incur an additional charge.

Illustrator .ai Ensure all fonts are outlined.

Include PANTONE colours where relevant.

Bleed: For some of our calendars it is possible to print right to the edge of the page. In this case we will ask you to supply artwork with bleed. We require at least 3mm of bleed (outside the final trim size). Make sure you don’t have any important content within the bleed area. Not all products are available with bleed.

Safe Area: All of our templates contain a safe area – the space on the calendar where it is ‘safe’ to put your content – ensuring it is not trimmed off or covered by the binding etc.

Acrobat .pdf We accept vector art files saved as a pdf.

The artwork needs to be set to actual size, include CMYK/PMS colours and all fonts need to be outlined.

Safe area

Trim size

Advert set outside the ‘safe area’ risks being lost as it is outside the print margins.

Vector artwork allows us to easily resize your graphics without losing quality or detail.

Raster artwork (such as .jpg and .png files) is made up of pixels and loses detail when resized.

Zoom in on artwork to test if artwork is vector or pixel based.

If the edges go fuzzy (see right) then it is not vector art.

Bleed area

The same advert is shown above centred and clear of the edges.

Photos Please supply photos and other raster (pixel-based) artwork at a high resolution – ideally 300dpi (dots per inch). If you supply a file at less than 200dpi, the printed image will most likely look pixelated.

We recommend photo file sizes of 1MB or larger for desk calendars, and 2MB or larger for booklet or wall calendars.

Colour & Printing Wherever possible, please supply us with either CMYK or PANTONE artwork.

It is also helpful if you supply us with a printed sample of your logo/artwork such as a business card and we will do our best to match the colour.

The end result is determined by the quality of the original supplied images. If the photo looks fuzzy on your screen, it will look worse in print. It’s also best to choose images that fit the picture area; if the picture space is landscape then choose landscape images so we don’t have to crop out any important parts of your image to make it fit the space.

Please supply photo files in one of the following formats: .jpg, .tif, or .psd

There are several types of colour that you can encounter with artwork:

If images are supplied in RGB, we will have to convert these colours to CMYK which can alter how they look.

RGB (Red-Green-Blue): These are the colours your computer screen uses. We are unable to print in RGB and will have to convert these colours to CMYK which can alter how they look.

Images from the internet are typically too low resolution for printing. Most images on the internet are protected by copyright so we advise that you only use images you have taken yourself or those purchased from stock image websites.

Alternatively, ask your local representative to help you have a look at the huge range of images available on Corporate+. A small charge applies for these images.

CMYK (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black): These are the colours used for printing.

PANTONE: The Pantone Matching System (PMS) is a standardised colour system used primarily for printing. If you have a PMS colour in your logo, let us know the PMS number and we can do the rest.

Print-Ready Artwork Print-ready artwork supplied by a graphic designer If you’re going down the path of designing your calendar from scratch, your graphic designer will need to supply the file in the following print-ready format: Acrobat .pdf We can only accept print-ready pdf files with no alterations required. The artwork needs to be set to actual size, include CMYK/PMS colours and all fonts need to be outlined.

Please note that we are not responsible for issues contained within the supplied artwork. This includes incorrect dates, spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, RGB colour mode, overprint, resolution and missing fonts.

File Formats to Avoid Word .doc; Powerpoint .ppt; Publisher .pub; Excel .xls

Unfortunately these file types are not supported by our printing process. If you can only supply one of these file types, please provide us with a printed sample of your artwork (e.g. a business card) and we will endeavour to recreate your artwork for an additional charge.
