Artwork files: 27th March 2023

Monday, March 27th, 2023

This is the third article in our series to help you unlock some of the technical gargon, associated with the Duplciation process.

Artwork Files:

Beware, we are now moving into the area of artwork and the word image no longer relates to a disc image! When talking about artwork, and image is simply a picture, a graphic or photograph

 

PDF

PDF stands for “portable document format.” Adobe Systems designed this format, which has become the standard for exchanging electronic documents. Its a very complex and powerful format used extensively in artwork design and printing, perfect for supplying your artwork supporting the other artwork formats below, as well as special print formats, colours and vector graphics.

 

JPEG,  TIFF, and PNG

These image formats are ideal for photos and similar images containing many colours offering good quality and acceptable sizes are possible. The quality / file size of a jpeg can be altered through the use of compression.

The three formats all vary slightly in the way they apply compression to the images, each with its own advantages. For printing its best to keep the compression at a minimum so the files are larger and better quality.

 

PSD

This format is only used by the graphics programs Photoshop. The files are generally large and contain lots of additional information and layers which are not needed for print. The complexity of the files make them perfect for editing and designing, BUT not ideal for printing. You should save your artwork to PDF or JPEG when ready to submit for printing.

To learn more about artwork formats this article is a good place to start, offering beginner guides to the various types: Further information on artwork formats.

Our Card Wallets: 20th July 2022

Wednesday, July 20th, 2022

I thought would just let you know about the extremely low price on our single card wallets.

For the Eco-Friendly Professional  Product at an amazing price you should consider these.

For sales at gigs these are nice and robust ( no platic to break)  and light to transport around, and for posting out to fans or customers these are lightweight, just needing a large letter stamp…possibly a small letter stamp depending on your envelope!

 

They are printed in colour on 350 gsm Sustainably Sourced and Fsc Certified silk finish card &  you have the option to have these cellobagged for the completely prosessional finish and for sales online.

 

The template for this is nice and straightforward and you can download it in pdf  from our artwork section here:

https://www.duplicationcentre.co.uk/files/artwork/pdf/cardboard_wallet.pdf

It is also available in photoshop in the artwork section.

If you would like to have a sample sent to you  just drop me an email with your postal address:

una@duplicationcentre.co.uk

You can get a price on our instant price calculator here:

https://www.duplicationcentre.co.uk/prices.html

An example for you is:  CD, Colour print on body packed in a colour single card wallet is £1.14 per unit ex vat.

So you can sell these for as low as a few pounds and still make a good return.
