How do I set up my artwork for print? arrow

How do I set up my artwork for print?

Do you provide downloadable templates? 

On most of our product pages, you can find free downloadable templates to help you set up your artwork for print. They’re available in AI, IDML and PDF formats to suit the design software you’re working in. Our downloadable templates include key information on creating artwork as well as instructions on how to save out your print-ready PDF. 

What is bleed? 
Bleed is an area of print outside the document that must be added to your artwork before it’s sent off for print. By adding the all-important bleed (a minimum of 3mm on all edges), there’ll be no risk of white space left on your document and it'll be trimmed correctly without cutting into any design. Some products require a different amount of bleed, so be sure to check our downloadable templates to find out the correct amount. 

What is safe area? 
The safe area is the space inside where your print will be trimmed. Keeping any important parts of your design away from this area will make sure that they aren’t accidentally trimmed off due to the natural movement while your print gets finished. Our downloadable templates will indicate the recommended amount of safe area for your print. 

What’s the difference between RGB and CMYK?
​​RGB is the colour gamut used to display images on a computer screen, and stands for Red, Green and Blue. CMYK is the colour gamut used for conventional printing, and stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Unless you’re printing Gicée Fine Art Prints, Photographic Prints or Mugs, please set up your artwork in CMYK. 

Why do I need to embed fonts? 
If you don’t embed fonts and your document is opened on another computer system that doesn’t have access to the original fonts, different fonts will be substituted instead. This could really affect the look of your finished print. Embedding fonts into your original design will stop them from changing. Find out how to embed your fonts here.

How to export a PDF 
Exporting your design into a print-ready PDF is easy. We’ve created some handy video guides which will take you through the process which you can find here.

Find lots more artwork tips here, including if you’re printing any special finishes such as foiling. For products with multiple pages, such as Brochures or Booklets, explore our book printing guide here. 

What are Backlit Posters? arrow

What are Backlit Posters?

Backlit Posters are specially designed graphics created on a unique type of film known as backlit film. These Posters are intended to be mounted in a lightbox, allowing the light from behind to illuminate the design, making it vibrant and eye-catching. This feature is especially advantageous for advertising and promotional displays, as it ensures visibility and attraction both day and night.

How do you print on backlit film? arrow

How do you print on backlit film?

Printing on backlit film uses a special semi-transparent media coated with a thin film that evenly distributes light across the Poster, creating a stunning, uniformly glowing effect. Backlit Posters are typically printed in larger sizes to maximise visibility and impact at any time of day. This process keeps colours vibrant and details sharp, making it an excellent medium for high-quality images and text that need to stand out.

Can I order a custom size Backlit print? arrow

Can I order a custom size Backlit print?

Yes, you can! We know that not every print fits in the same space. To order a custom size Backlit Poster, simply enter your preferred dimensions into our product builder.

Which lamination is best for Backlit Posters? arrow

Which lamination is best for Backlit Posters?
