MHPL accept the following artwork files for print purposes. Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Quark Express and Microsoft Office.

Images

(Measured in dots per square inch – dpi)attolscene

Images should be saved at 300dpi and embedded
Tip: Saving a low quality image (72dpi – i.e. webpages Web images) tp 300dpi will not improve the quality

Fonts

fontsDon use smaller than 6pt when designing artwork up to a3 size
Don’t use small than 10pt when designing large format print above A3
Top Tip Embed fonts or convert to outlines

Bleed

3mm-bleedAll artwork should have a 3mm bleed area around it. With Microsoft Word PowerPoint and Adobe Photoshop you can’t change this bleed so you must change the document size – E.g. A4 210mm 297mm becomes 216mm x 303mm with 3mm bleed around the page.

Borders

5mm-insetSet artwork at least 5mm from the edge of the page if it is not meant to bleed of. This is known as the ‘safe area’.
