If you intend to supply a CorelDraw file, please follow these guidelines:

1    Your file must have been produced using CorelDraw version 5-11.

2    All type contained within a CorelDraw file must be converted to curves/paths.

3    Ideally, any bitmap images within your file should be 300dpi
      (ie. 300 pixels per inch) and be of a CMYK colour model.

4    To ensure that your design doesn't have any important details cut off, or any information
      too close to the edge, it is always a good design tip to work within the finished
      print jobs size. This area is called a 'safety zone' and should be around 5mm wide.
      See illustration below.

5    If you require 'edge-to-edge' printing your design must extend further than the edges of the
      material (ie. the paper or card) - your design will then 'bleed' off the edge of the material.

6    Now attach the file to the form on the previous page. If your file exceeds 2mb then we
      recommend that you burn it to a CD/DVD and post it to us (click 'Submit Query' on the
      previous page for information).

If you have any further queries then email enquiries@surfprint.co.uk
or telephone one of our staff on 01475 685158.
