Artwork Instructions

 

We are here to save you time and money in the preparation of your artwork. Our service covers design, what works and what doesn't, what's good and what's bad. The issues here are:-

  
   
   
 
  Your design and how best to present it on a mug, plate or bowl.  
 
  What format to use when delivering original artwork to us.  
       
 

You can, of course, put anything on a mug...however you will want it to look good while staying within a budget.

Designs with straightforward, thick lines and blocks of colour can be direct printed (also known as line printing), which is the most cost effective way of producing your mug.

Designs where colours are shaded, including fine lines and fine detail, are generally decorated using a manually applied transfer.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
For the purpose of creating screens for ceramic printing it is critical that we produce crisp definition on our films.
 

We are able to work from Black and White copy, Business Cards, Letterheads/Compliment slips. Just send in your instructions to us and we will clean up artwork and output to film. This service is available at additional cost upon sight of requirements. Artwork is also accepted for PC on Floppy, Zip or E-mail.

The most favoured format is an EPS file in line work (with text converted to curves), which can be provided on a disk or by email. We can work with Corel Draw (CDR), Adobe Illustrator in AI format and EPS files for PC.
