Artwork should be supplied at 100% size and should adhere to the following guidelines:
DO NOT try to colour match vector colours to rasterised colours on artwork elements. The rip treats these differently and there will be a visible difference in the final print.
Here is an example of how they may look, the 'BK' logo had a drop shadow applied in a vector application resulting in the colour behind the logo being lighter:
Place the vector and bitmap artwork combined into Photoshop instead to create one bitmap image. You can have vector text and elements, just don't try to colour match them to a bitmap.
This includes vector elements containing opacity changes, transparency effects and vector gradients. Layered psd files also need to be flattened.
Respect the Quiet Zones (blue shaded area below). Fabric stretches and shrinks (different amounts in different directions) during the production process so there is less accuracy compared to paper.
The templates may appear unusually large or proportioned. This is to allow for the stretch/shrinkage of the material. For best results, keep all important elements such as text and logos well within the quiet zone areas but bleed background images/colours to the page edge. Do not try to match up designs from the front to the reverse.
The trim guide on the template shows roughly where the fabric will be cut. Please bleed your artwork to the page edge.
Finishing Fabric Displays is a manual process of cutting and stitching, therefore additional bleed is required. For raw fabric add 50mm bleed to each edge of the finished size you require.
