  • For Posters - we'd required minimum 7mm safety gap between text and artwork edge.
• Fonts:
• All fonts should be embedded or converted to curves (applies only to master/source files. Don't need to worry about it when sending flat bitmap images).
• Colours:
• CMYK colour only: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key(black). We don't print Pantone or Hex colours; however if you sent us artwork using these colours or in RGB mode we'll convert it to CMYK palette using CMYK ISO Coated v2 300% ECI profile.
• TAC:
• Total Area Coverage - combined value of CMYK for darkest area of an artwork can NOT exceed 300%.
• Notice:
• When sending us master, source files please make sure that all images, graphics and fonts used in the construction of the document are included in a collect for output before sending to us.

Dummy templates - you may use them to design your own artwork.
