SUPPLY ARTWORK WITH A 3-4MM BLEED BEYOND THE INNER AND OUTER DIAMETERS.
This means that you need to extend the area of your cover art beyond the template border so it is not exactly the same size as the template. The area beyond the template (the bleed) will not print, but it ensures that the covers do not have edges of white paper showing.

Artwork needs to be at least 300dpi (dots per inch).
Images from a website are NOT suitable as screen resolution is only 72dpi. Use of low resolution images will result in unprofessional, fuzzy print with unreadable text.

Covers are printed using CMYK, not PMS. Although CMYK can be quite accurate at matching some PMS colours, precise colour matching is not always possible.
To achieve a rich, dark black, please ensure black areas are 100%C + 100%Y + 100%M + 100%K. ie; do not have 100%K (black) and no percentage of the other colours)
Please make sure the keylines (template borders) on your artwork are NOT printable, or can be easily removed. (Our templates have the keylines set for viewing and positional purposes only).

Please supply your artwork in one of the following programs or formats - Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Quark Express or a PDF with fonts and images embedded.
We can accept high-res jpgs as long as the artwork is setup correctly as we cannot make any adjustments to jpg files.
Ensure you supply artwork with relevant images and fonts, or outline the fonts.
We can accept artwork created on MAC however fonts are not transferable to Windows unless outlined.
