Artwork

Spectrum offer a rapid artwork service to your specification, - or we can work from your originals.

Artwork can be accepted on PC disc - Please see here for Details.

We can re-size, or do paste-ups as required. Since no print or copy technology can print right to the edge of the paper, - please plan a gap of at least 6mm all round your work. We recommend a gap of at least 1cm.

If you are preparing artwork for cutting to smaller sizes e.g. A5 two up on A4, or A6 four up on A4 - Please remember to leave DOUBLE GAPS between each design so they can be trimmed tidily.

These spacings are MINIMUM - there can be a small amount of variation between copies, and if edges are really tight, - the resulting trimmed and finished work can look slightly imbalanced, - so be generous with your margins!

Paper

Our shop carries a range of paper stock including standard 80gram and copycard in a range of colours. We also carry tracing paper, acetates, clear and coloured plastics, stickers, etc. etc.

You may bring your own paper. We suggest trying a few sheets first to check machine compatibility before buying a large amount. We regret we are unable to accept customers own acetates or specialist copy products as they may be incompatible with our machines.
