Image Direct only considers artwork to be print-ready if it meets the following requirements, and no further adjustments are required in house.
To avoid additional costs to your printing, incurred when our designers are required to make final amendments before printing,
please ensure that if you are providing us with print-ready artwork you have checked through the requirements below and your material is in fact, ready for print.
If you're unsure about whether or not you're artwork is print-ready, or you require a further explanation,
please call our studio on 1800 774 119 or Contact Us.
Files
We require print ready PDF files created to our own specifications. Download our Adobe Preset Settings. Files provided in any other format will require our designers to make changes and will incur a minimum fee of $60+GST.
Fonts
Please ensure that all fonts are embedded in the PDF document or make sure you convert fonts to outlines to prevent any issues with fonts.
Images
If there are any images within in the document, they must be saved as CMYK and no less than 300dpi, preferably in TIF or EPS to ensure quality.
Colours
Please specify if the job is to be printed in CMYK with/or spot colour etc. All spot colours need to be clearly specified. Pantone (PMS) colours preferred.
Bleed, Trim Marks & Fold Lines
If your document has colour or images placed off the edge of the page, a 5mm bleed is required. Trim marks (use solid lines) are to be included so the document can be trimmed to the desired size. If you require folding, please indicate by inserting fold lines (use dotted lines). Trim marks and fold lines are to be set outside the print area.

Fonts
Please ensure that all fonts are embedded in the PDF document or make sure you convert all fonts to outlines to prevent any font related error’s.
Images & Logo’s
If there are any images and/or logo’s within the document, they must be saved as RGB or CMYK and no less than 300dpi, preferably in a TIF or EPS format to ensure quality.
Colours
Please specify if the job is to be printed in either RGB or CMYK. Because our large format printer uses a 6 colour inkjet process it can produce a higher colour gammit than that of your everyday CMYK printer making your finished piece look exceptional.
Bleed & Keyline
If your document has colour or images placed off the edge of the page, a 5mm bleed is required. The Keyline is like a trim guide which is to be the exact finished size (840x2100mm). This is to be placed around the artwork using a 0.5 pt Black, Grey or White box depending on the background colour.
