- If you’re after prints of an original painting, we recommend providing your files as a scan of your original piece, or a high resolution photo of your masterpiece with no visible background.
- A copy of any aspect of the artwork that is to be printed in metallic should be included as a spot colour called “Silver” on the top-most layer within the artwork with overprint enabled and supplied as a PDF, AI or PSD file.
- For Fluoro Pink, artwork should include a spot colour called “FL Pink” indicating where you would like the Fluorescent Pink to be applied and supply the file as a PDF, AI or PSD.
