Supplying Print Ready Artwork

When you have chosen your print product and have uploaded your files we will automatically run a pre-flight through our File Check service. We check for size, resolution, bleed, legibility and alignment. Please note that we will not proof read your files – this is your responsibility and we advise you to check all spelling including phone numbers, addresses, prices, etc.

• If your pdf file is correct and no errors are found we will then automatically proceed to print. Please note that no further proof will be sent to you.
• If any errors are found in your artwork we will contact you and ask that you correct the artwork and supply new files.
• If your artwork pdf fails our pre-flight check we will contact you and ask you to supply a new file.

If you are unable to correct the issue or supply new files, or you would like Express Print to make the corrections for you, there will be a charge for doing so. Any work required will be quoted for prior to any corrections being undertaken.
