This page contains guidelines to help you provide information about our design specification requirements.
Images:
Supply at 300dpi (dots per inch) resolution. For example, if you capture a screen shot it should be captured with the setting as 300dpi, or alternatively at the highest megapixel that your camera can take the shot. We don't recommend that you use images of the internet as these images are very low resolution.
File Transfers:
Artinfiniti Design use the Macintosh format. All artwork should be supplied in either mac or universal format.

Logo:
Supply as an eps vector graphic. If supplied in a non-editable format such as JPEG or PDF we will need to reproduce it into an editable format and a fee will be charged.
Images should use CMYK colour definitions. Images can be created using either CMYK or RGB colour definitions. However, to create images suitable for final graphics and printing the colours must be in CMYK. If the image is changed from RGB to CMYK, then a colour variance will occur . As you can understand the colour spectrum is endless. We can use our swatches to try and match your pms colours to printed work that you have had done previously, but we will not guarantee the colours. If you have specific pms colours that brand your image, please supply them.
A colour variance may also occur during the final printing process.
Printing options: Contact us to discuss the best options for your particular project.
Fonts:
Supply the name, or the actual font file, of any specific fonts that you want used in your graphics. For example, you may have a font that was used in previous marketing material and want to continue to use it in your new brochures. We can download the font file for you but a fee will be charged.
Artwork is sent to you via email for proofreading in PDF format. This format compresses the file to CMYK colour which is the closest representation to final printing colour as is possible. JPEG format is not used as it compresses the file to RGB which is not a close representation of the final colour. You will need Adobe Reader to read your PDF file. This reader is free and can be downloaded
Additionally, you may request an IRIS proof. This is a 98% accurate representation of the final output. If requested, a fee will be charged.
