Colour Specifications

Full colour artwork must be generated using a CMYK colour model - No RGB!!!!!

If the artwork requires the use of just one, two or three specific colours then the designer must use either Pantone Solid Coated or Pantone Solid Uncoated colours. These are the references that the printers recognise in order to use the correct ink. These colours exist within the colour libraries of Photoshop, Quark Express, Illustrator and Freehand.

Often, artwork is supplied using one, two or three colours. However, the colours used are 'process' colours. These are generated by a mixture of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK). If not changed this means that the artwork will print in four colours and so incur extra costs (i.e. extra films and printing plates). It may be possible for us to make the required changes, however, there will be a charge made for DTP time.
