from web pages
It's not a good idea to simply lift an image from someone's
website - and it's almost certainly an infringement of copyright.
There's no problem printing graphics acquired from web pages but the quality is generally very poor. Images on the web are only 72dpi when, to get maximum quality from commercial printing, they need to be 300dpi or higher. For top quality results text and headlines should be produced in a programme that can use both vector graphics and bitmap images. Examples are Adobe PageMaker, Quark Express, Corel Draw, InDesign, Microsoft Publisher, PagePlus - and there are many others to choose from. Cutter
guides and folder templates
We have a variety of cutter guides and folder templates available in either oversize A4 or A5 sizes and in a variety of graphic formats. Email us with your requirements. Or we can custom-build them to your specific dimensions. Can
I use Microsoft Word?
Yes. It's excellent for text - but scanned images and graphics are of low quality, usually only 72dpi when, for commercial printing, they need to be 300dpi or higher.
Can
you print from Microsoft Power Point?
Yes we can. Please click here for more information about how to set up your Powerpoint files for high quality printing. Can
you print from Microsoft Excel?
Yes. Text is fine but scanned images and graphics are of low quality, usually only 72dpi when, for commercial printing, they need to be 300dpi or higher. File formats The best format for high quality printing is PDF (Portable Document Format) with all fonts converted to curves (outlines). You can download a PDF writer from cutepdf.com - it's free. If you don't have a PDF writer we can accept native files from most professional graphics packages (both Macintosh and PC). We'll process them to make them CMYK 'print-ready' and send you a proof for checking. These files need to be checked very carefully for processing errors before printing. If you are running Windows and using any modern Microsoft software then just send us your documents and we'll do the rest. If you're using older software (pre 95) then that's more difficult. But don't worry, if you supply something we can't read we'll do our best to sort it out. NEVER enlarge images in your artwork - this can seriously degrade quality. For good reproduction scan/create your images at the size you intend to print them (or do as graphics professionals do, scan oversize and do any retouching and airbrushing before reducing them to the required printed size). Create/scan your images at 300dpi and save them as TIF, PSD or EPS formats. JPG (or JPEG) files are fine as long as you use minimum compression and you don't alter and save the images too many times (you lose quality each time you save). BMP and PCX formats are ok, but tend to produce very large
files.
Internet images: GIF format can only cope with 250 colours so they give inferior
results when printed - and most JPG images on the internet use extreme
compression which can cause colour shifts and blurriness.
Resolution - dots-per-inch - dpi For photographs, drawings
and all colour images scan at 300dpi or higher. For black & white line art use 1200dpi.
Always scan your material at the size at which it will be printed. Enlarging images in your artwork can seriously degrade quality. In other words don't scan your stuff and then enlarge it in your layout program! This is another reason why you should not use images that are lifted from websites; they are usually only 72dpi and will look very blurry indeed when printed on a 'litho' printing press. Click here for detailed information about scanning and photo manipulation. Digital photographs
Pictures from digital
cameras are designed to be printed and generally reproduce very well
(much better than the equivalent film camera). As always though, the better the
equipment, the better the result.
As a rough guide divide the image dimensions (given in pixels)
by 300 to give the approximate 'litho' printing size. For example - a picture
of 1800 x 1200 pixels would be adequate for a printed size of up to 6in x 4in.
Bleed and Margins (Quiet Border) We need to allow for the working tolerances of our equipment, booklet makers, binders, guillotines and folding machinery - there is a margin of error with all mechanical processes. In your artwork make sure that any graphic elements or photographs that you want to print right to the edge of the paper actually go beyond the edge by 3mm - this is called bleed - after your job is printed it will be trimmed off.
Please don't put anything within 3mm of the edge of the paper (the more space the better). Experienced print designers never put anything close to the edge - especially printed page borders - if the paper is just microns out-of-square borders can look very amateurish indeed. If you want to use borders keep them well away from the edge - 10mm is an appropriate minimum distance. Tints Depending on your software you can create tints of any colour from 1-99% and they'll look fine on your monitor - but when printed you will be disappointed. Any tints below 5% will be too light to see when printed on paper - and any tints above 95% will look like a solid colour. So a practical range for tints is between 10% and 90% when printed on a modern litho printing press. If you intend to print digitally then a range of between 20% and 80% is more realistic. Scans and digital photographs Create/scan your images at 300dpi and save them as TIF, PSD or EPS formats Flatten all layers to make smaller images. JPG (or JPEG) files are fine as long as you use minimum compression and you don't alter and save the images too many times (you lose quality each time you save). BMP and PCX formats are ok, but tend to produce very large files. Internet images: GIF format can only cope with 250 colours so they give inferior results when printed - and most JPG images on the internet use extreme compression which can cause colour shifts and blurriness. Since JPG and GIF are the most common image formats on the web, it follows therefore that it's not a good idea to simply lift an image from someone's website - and it's almost certainly an infringement of copyright. Never enlarge images in your artwork - this can seriously degrade quality. For good reproduction scan/create your images at the size you intend to print them (or do as graphics professionals do, scan oversize and do any retouching and airbrushing before reducing them to the required printed size). Fonts and typefaces Fonts are copyright protected and are not automatically copied when you save your documents. Transferring your files will leave the fonts behind. When the document is opened on another computer the software automatically uses the fonts of the new machine and re-flows the text to suit. There are a number of ways around this. · 'Embed' all fonts within your document - search the help file of your application to learn how to do it. · Use the standard 'open' fonts that are supplied with Microsoft Windows - although the spacing will still vary. · Convert all fonts to curves (outlines) if you have the facility. · Convert your documents to 'print-ready' PDFs. Alternatively email us images of your fonts and we'll substitute
them with our closest match.
Colour matching Will my work look exactly like it does on my monitor? Unlikely, not
unless you have a professional calibrated monitor.
Scanners and digital cameras create images using combinations of
just three colours: Red, Green and Blue (called RGB). These
are the colours that computers use to display images.
Printing presses however print pictures using a different set of
colours: Cyan (blue), Magenta (red), Yellow and Black (called CMYK).
So at some stage your RGB file must be converted to CMYK in order to print it
on a printing press. This is easily done using an image editing program like
PhotoShop or Corel Photo Paint.
When we receive RGB images, we do a standard-value conversion to
CMYK, which may not be perfectly to your liking. So if you have the facility
please convert all RGB images to CMYK before you send them to us.
There are some colours in RGB that you can't make with CMYK.
They are said to be 'out of gamut'. CMYK orange and CMYK blue are good
examples of this (see below). In these cases the conversion filter just gets
as close as it can to the original colour.
Above is an example of a 'before' and
'after' conversion. Colour photographs don’t suffer very much from CMYK translation - it's usually more noticeable if you pick very rich, vibrant colours for a background or some other element of your layout. It probably won't look bad, it just won't look exactly the same. If you see printed material with strong oranges or blue
Coloured text Using colours on headlines or type above about 12 point is ok,
but smaller sizes can be a problem.
What happens is that all printing presses have a small amount of movement in the positioning of the different colours - the cyan, magenta, yellow and black portions of the print don't line up exactly. Couple this with the fact that CMYK mixes are made up of dots (i.e. apart from the pure CMYK colours most other colours are a mix of coloured dots) means that the finished print can appear to be slightly blurred particularly on fine lines and small fonts. NOTE: this isn't an issue when using 100% of any of the CMYK colours - it's on smaller percentage mixes that it becomes a problem. The same thing holds true for white text on a dark or coloured
background. You can do it but don't use point sizes smaller than about 12
point.
Text over an image
Be careful about using photographs for backgrounds. If you put
text (any colour) on top it can be very hard to read. So the secret is to
lighten the photograph a lot - much more than you may think is necessary. Use
a photo editing program like Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop.
Designing
for full colour printing (CMYK)
Choice of paper will affect the colour of your work Full colour (CMYK or 4-colour process) printing uses transparent 'process' inks - so be aware that the type, grade, quality, grain and colour of paper will affect the overall print density and colour balance of the finished work. There can be a particularly marked difference between coated 'art' papers and uncoated 'bond' type papers. Also the light source under which you’re viewing the printed product can dramatically affect the colour tone. Black areas To prevent black areas from looking grey (particularly on uncoated papers) use a mix of 100% black and 50% cyan. This also applies to headlines using fonts over 36 point. Alternatively use 'Rich Black' - 30% cyan, 30% magenta, 30% yellow, 100% black - but this isn't so good if you intend using small fonts 'white out' of black For ordinary body text use 100% black. Text, fine rules and lines If you have small text or fine lines in your design, it is strongly recommended that you do not use a 4-colour mix on them. Although using a CMYK colour mix is recommended on larger areas, using it for text smaller than 12pt or for very fine line work may result in poor results. What happens is that all printing presses have a small amount of movement in the positioning of the different colours - the cyan, magenta, yellow and black portions of the print don't line up exactly. Couple this with the fact that CMYK mixes are made up of dots (i.e. apart from the pure CMYK colours most other colours are a mix of coloured dots) means that the finished print can appear to be slightly blurred particularly on fine lines and small fonts. NOTE: this isn't an issue when using 100% of any of the CMYK colours - it's on smaller percentage mixes that it becomes a problem. Solid colour areas For images and solid areas try to keep the CMYK breakdown to no more than 300% (when all the colour percentages are added together), especially when jobs are required with a very fast turnaround The more ink, the less chance it has to dry and the greater risk it may scuff and pick off. Clean dark grey solids For a clean dark grey solid, consider using a high percentage of black and a mix of cyan. Bear in mind that subtle colours, especially in any large solid areas may be affected by other areas of strong colour on your design, such as an illustration or large area with a dominant colour. Remember that for speed and economy, printed designs are often laid up or for 'work and turn' with both the front and back. Therefore, if one side or area has a very dominant or subtle colour, other areas of colour may well be adversely affected. So allowances for this may have to be made. Choosing colours and tints It is always good idea to choose your colour using a Pantone Matching Guide and not to rely on the colour picker or guide in the computer program you are using. When you pick a solid colour in a swatch, look at the CMYK colours next to it. If they are of a very similar four colour mix it will give you an idea how much the colour may vary on the finished printed job. If the colour either side on the swatch will also work with your design then you have built in some leeway. Depending on your software you can create tints of any colour from 1-99% and they'll look fine on your monitor - but when printed you will be disappointed. Any tints below 5% will be too light to see when printed on paper - and any tints above 95% will look like a solid colour. So a practical range for tints is between 10% and 90% when printed on a modern litho printing press. If you intend to print digitally then a range of between 15% and 85% is more realistic. Colour variance When you select a colour from a Pantone swatch book make sure you select the CMYK version and not the solid or spot colour version. CMYK printing uses transparent 'process' inks whereas spot colour printing uses opaque inks. Some colours are impossible to match with CMYK printing. The age of your swatch book is also important as inks fade, some faster than others and if you rely on an old swatch you may find you get unexpected results.

It takes readers just a
few seconds to decide whether the stuff they are looking at is worth further attention.
Here are a few points that you should think about when producing your
material.

Acrobat
If you have Acrobat Distiller then select the 'Press Quality' setting to create Adobe PDF documents best suited for high-quality prepress printing. Created PDF documents can be opened with Acrobat and Adobe Reader 5.0 and later. Portable Document Format (PDF) has become a world standard for transferring files and documents. Use whatever application you prefer and simply select Acrobat as your output device - and then, depending on the settings you choose, it will embed your fonts and images and convert your work into high quality artwork files for printing. It can also compress stuff for easier emailing. If you take printing seriously - a PDF creator is a must. Go to www.adobe.com for more info. Colour WARNING: There can be a noticeable
difference between viewing your work on a computer screen and seeing the
final printed version - this is because computer screens are RGB devices
whereas most printers are CMYK (see
below for more info). For more accurate viewing use a colour
calibrated screen and convert all your RGB images to CMYK.
There are thousands of regularly used colours and millions more
that can be distinguished by the human eye. To give a name to each of them
would be impossible, so scientists have devised various ways of assigning
numeric values to colours.
These systems are called colour
models, and they provide precise methods for naming and reproducing
exact colours. Some are based on the optical components of the colours and
others are based on how people "feel" colours are related to each
other.
Digital Printing Technically similar to photocopying and laser printing. Heat is used to bake different coloured powder onto the paper to form the finished image. These systems work directly from electronic data and avoid the intermediate stage of printing plates. Because these machines use an inherently four-colour process (CMYK) there is no cost saving to be made from using one or two-colour designs. The quality is not yet up to the standard of modern litho printing - but the man in the street would find it difficult to spot the difference. For more information about printing processes visit Wikipedia - click here. Full colour (4-colour or CMYK) printing The vast majority of colour magazines, brochures and leaflets are Litho printed using the CMYK 4-colour process. The initial set-up costs are higher than digital presses but because they run at much higher speeds they're more economic for larger quantities. '4-colour' printing presses use the CMYK colour model. By using cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks, you can mix nearly any colour. When preparing a colour image for printing, the operator makes
four printing plates. Each plate is for one of the four colours of ink in the
CMYK model. When all four plates are aligned and printed on top of each
other, the inks will combine to simulate the proper colours. This method is
referred to as 'process colour' (or '4-colour') printing.
For more information about printing processes visit Wikipedia - click here. RGB
Colour Model (Red, Green, Blue) In the RGB system, the red, green and blue dots are assigned
brightness values along some scale, for example 0 to 255, where 0 is dark and
255 is bright. By listing the three values for the red, green and blue
phosphors, you can specify the exact colour that will be mixed.
Additive colours get lighter when mixed. As each component of
light is mixed in, the combination becomes a new colour. Red, green and blue
are the three additive primaries. You can mix any colour of light with
different combinations of the additive primaries. When you mix all three
together in balanced amounts, you get white.
These three primaries are the basis of the additive colour
model. It's called the RGB model, and it's usually used to create colour on
your computer display as well as other electronic devices. By mixing together
various amounts of red, green and blue light, you can make almost any colour.
The RGB colour space is a multi-coloured cube with different points showing
what colours different mixtures of red, green, and blue make.
Television screens and computer monitors make their colours by
mixing red, green and blue lights. A monitor or television screen mixes a
colour by illuminating tiny dots of red, green and blue phosphors with an
electron gun located at the back of the monitor. By illuminating each of the
dots to a different brightness, the monitor creates different colours.
Because the RGB model is only capable of producing a certain
range of colours, there are some
colours that cannot be reproduced accurately by a computer monitor. The number of colours visible on a monitor is further reduced by the
limitations of the video hardware in the computer, which may display anywhere
from just black and white up to 16.7 million colours.
HSL Colour Model (Hue, Saturation, Luminance) The HSL model is very similar to the RGB model. In fact, when they're
expressed mathematically, they're identical. The difference lies in how
colours are expressed numerically. The hue determines which basic colour it
is. Red, green, blue, yellow, orange, etc. are different hues. Saturation and
luminance tell more about the variations of these basic colours. Saturation
is the vividness (or "purity") of the colour, i.e., how much of the
colour's complement is mixed in. Finally, luminance refers to the
"whiteness" of the colour. It may also be termed
"brightness," "value" or "intensity."
Other models related to the HSL model are the HSB (Hue,
Saturation, brightness) and HSI (Hue, Saturation, Intensity) models. These
terms are all similar but not interchangeable.
CIE Colour Model (Commission Internationale l'eclairage)
The CIE model is a more subjective description than the others.
In 1931, the Commission Internationale l'Eclairage tested many people and
found that the sensitivity of the receptors in the eye caused certain colours
to be associated with others. The CIE colour space includes all visible
colours, whether or not they can be defined in the RGB or CMYK models. Computer printers and other devices for
displaying colour have practical limitations that prevent them from making ALL
of the visible colours. The colours that they CAN create are collectively
called the colour gamut. The CIE model is useful in part because a
printer's colour gamut can be drawn on the CIE colour space showing what
colours cannot be printed. Other colour models closely related to CIE are UCS
(Uniform Colour Space), CIELAB and CIELUV.

Can I open an account? YES - If you are a returning customer or a VAT registered business you can apply online by clicking here and completing the application form. Value Added Tax We are a group of independent businesses offering printing and associated services under the banner of Print4biz. This means that for VAT purposes the tax authorities class Print4biz as a reseller - which means that VAT is applicable to every transaction. As the name implies Print4biz is aimed at the business market. This is not a consumer site. Our VAT Number is: 567 4068 16. Charities. If you're a registered charity you are exempt from VAT - but we must have your Registration Number before proceeding. For more information about VAT have a look at the website www.hmce.gov.uk Proofs Email proofs are free (PDF format) and are emailed to you within 24 hours of receiving your payment. If everything is OK simply reply to the email giving your approval to proceed. · Is the colour accurate? Yes - but how colours are displayed depends on the colour calibration of your monitor. We recommend that you always print out a hard copy of your work prior to sending it to us. Desktop colour printers, while not up to professional standards, give a much closer colour match than an uncalibrated computer monitor. · Can I get an accurate colour proof? Yes - the cost of a 'hard copy' proof varies with sheet size - use the Contacts Form to get a quote. TIP: If colour balance is important why not print a postcard as a colour test? You can then see the print quality and colour balance for yourself and, if you're a professional, you can build up an entire palette of colours for future reference that you know is 100% accurate. · Can I make changes? Minor corrections are free (a mis-spelling for example) but substantial amendments may be charged extra. Normally, if you need to make alterations, you must amend your documents and send us updated files. Turnaround and Lead Times Our standard production time (after proof approval) is 6 clear working days (6 x 24hrs) excluding Bank Holidays and weekends. This isn't a guaranteed service - it's only an estimate and may vary depending on the volume of orders and the time of year. Non-standard sizes, large quantities and work needing special finishing will take longer. If your work is time sensitive please consider using our faster ''4 day' or '2 day' turnaround options which use quicker courier services and are available by quotation. NOTE: I know this is obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people get it wrong. The moment you approve your proof isn't one day - it's zero hour. It only becomes one day after 24 hours have elapsed. In other words 'day one' is the first working day after you've approved your proof. Faster service We also offer 4-day and 2-day turnarounds - please email for a quotation. We can also turnaround some items in 24-hours if required (excluding delivery). NOTE: a faster delivery must be arranged before the order is placed. Delivery Delivery for Litho and Digital printing is free to one address to most UK mainland destinations. However some 'remote' areas (e.g. far north of Scotland) may be subject to a surcharge. All work is delivered in unmarked packages except for consignment labels - this makes them extremely difficult for your customers to track back to us. EXCEPTIONS: Because of the very small quantities First Class Recorded Delivery is charged extra on the PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS and COPYING pages. Quotations The prices on this site are accurate - but errors can creep in. As a safeguard we always confirm the price by e-mail after an order has been placed and before commencing any work.

Sending Material Use the upload facility on the 'How to Order or Get a Quote' page or use our dedicated 'Upload Documents' page by clicking HERE. Alternatively you can email your material as attachments. There's no actual size limit to emails but you would be wise to limit the size to below 10meg (split your files into separate pages if you have to). Use the email address below. If you intend to regularly send large files we'll set up an FTP account for you - it's much faster and more secure. If you prefer you can post your material to us at the address below. Print4biz
Promotions Office, PO Box 256, Bristol BS16 5WW Types of media Send us floppy discs, CD-ROMs, DVDs, MEMORY STICKS, USB drives etc. - but e-mailing is our preferred method. Maximum sheet size Litho printing up to A0 size (841mm x 1189mm). Digital printing up to SRA3 size (305mm x 430mm). We can also inkjet print LARGE FORMAT work onto a variety of material - including self-adhesive vinyl. Maximum width is 1400mm by any length. Please use the Contacts Form to get more information. Different papers Our standard stock is:
These papers give excellent printed results and because we buy in bulk we get very competitive prices. We also offer other weights of paper - from 80gsm bond up to 400gsm card, as well as some fluorescent and recycled stock. Please email for a quotation. We use two main types of paper - coated and uncoated. Coated papers are split into two types - Gloss or Silk (silk can also be called satin, semi-gloss or matte depending on the manufacturer). This type of paper has a coating of chalk which makes the surface less absorbant so the colours are clearer and the image is sharper than on uncoated stock. Gloss papers are more or less the same as silk, but the material is compressed and polished to give a glossy surface. This paper gives the brightest colours and the sharpest images. Coated papers are not suitable for general office use. The coating can come off when the paper is used in desktop printers or photocopiers. Uncoated (or Bond) papers have no coating and will slightly absorb the ink. This can affect the appearance of the printing. The colours aren't quite so bright as on coated paper and the image isn't as sharp. But this paper is ideal for handwriting or for letterheads and notepaper that are intended to be over-printed using photocopiers or desktop printers. Tip: If you want a coloured, mottled or marble effect paper just use a background image in your artwork. Business card sizes Credit card size has become the standard (54mm x 85mm, this fits most card wallets) - but you can use any size you want. Use the Contacts Form to get a quote. Traditional artwork and colour separations Using traditional artwork and film is by quotation only. Quality full colour printing is now almost entirely reliant on digital artwork (it's much higher quality). We recommend that you convert your old artwork and film into 'print-ready' digital files. Use the Contacts Form to get a quote. Minimum order value The minimum spend is £25 plus VAT. Confidentiality We never approach your clients directly. This is a confidential service and our contract is with whoever places the order. All work is delivered in unmarked packages except for the courier's consignment labels which make them difficult to trace. All customers’ material, publications, documents and artwork are archived and stored offline and kept for future reference. This material is not vulnerable to hackers or internet viruses. We never reveal details to third parties Distance Selling Regulations Distance selling regulations do not apply to custom-made items or to business to business transactions.

Die-cutting, embossing, debossing and foil blocking Manufacturing the metal block/cutter and setting-up the equipment costs at least £50 depending on the size and complexity of the design. There is also the cost of the punching/embossing process itself which is roughly 75p per impression up to 250 copies. Larger quantities are cheaper because the process can be automated. These are guide prices to help you with your estimating and are on top of any printing costs. We always supply a written quotation before starting work. NOTE: Presentation Folder prices are based on using our standard cutters. Photo Prints and Canvas Prints (giclee) · If your pictures are digital photographs then simply email them 'as is' - the larger the better. · Mobile phone pictures print okay but they can look a little 'blocky' when enlarged - and again, the larger the better. · If you're scanning or creating your own images then prepare them actual size (i.e. the size you want them to print) at between 150 - 300dpi. · Save them as JPGs with a medium to high quality setting. If your images are very large then reduce the dimensions of your artwork by half (i.e. a quarter size in area) and include all images at 300 dpi - the higher the dpi the better the final print. Vector images are unaffected by size so use them whenever you can. NOTE: if no image size is specified then all images will be adjusted to fit between 5mm and 15mm from the nearest edge. Images will not be cropped unless specified. Click here for cheap photo and large format prints. How to describe your printing (specifying) The following 6 points help to describe all printed material. · The finished size - after folding and trimming · Number of pages (sides) - whether printed or not · Number of colours - full-colour, black and white and so on · Weight and type of paper - gloss, silk, bond, laser compatible etc · Special finishing - wire binding, laminating, varnishing, drilling etc · Number of copies EXAMPLE ONE: A double-side A3 colour leaflet folded in half.
