To make the process of creating your Timeless Book as simple as possible, we offer a full reprographics and design service or you can supply the selected images ready to print.

Assistance is available at any stage in the process. We have an in-house Prepress department on hand to advise on the initial set-up of PDF files and technical aspects such as the correct image size and resolution. All files are pre-flight checked to detect any potential problems prior to printing. When supplying images for print, PDF is the preferred file format. We can, however, handle other formats by prior agreement if necessary.

Files can be submitted on CD, DVD or by uploading them directly to our secure password protected FTP site.

If you are submitting files for the first time, please contact us. It is recommended that a test PDF file is supplied for our Prepress team to check in the first instance. This will avoid delay later when actual image files are supplied. The images from the test file will be printed for you to approve.

As a brief guide, please check the following before supplying files for print:

Files are supplied as page PDFs

Images set up to print at the correct size

Where images bleed off the page, 3mm bleed is included in the design

Images are high resolution - 300dpi is recommended

Colour images are saved as CMYK (not RGB)

Where wording is included all fonts are embedded in the PDF file

Pantone references are included

Details of whether Pantones can be simulated out of a 4 colour process

Tint strengths are not less than 5%

Please note - we do not check the actual images for issues such as correct contrast.
