Unfortunately due to workload, we're unable to carry out work on any files here unless agreed upon beforehand. We're more than happy to advise you on how to prepare your file though... just give us a call on 020 7286 4766.

The best way to supply files is to burn them onto a disc. Our email server is only capable of handling files of up to 10Mb per attachment. This is not normally going to provide prints of the best quality because any file of that size won't necessarily be of a high enough resolution. Exceptions to this rule are if the files are Vector based (Illustrator, Freehand etc.) because Vector files will blow up to large sizes with no loss of quality.

It is important when sending us your files that all images are converted to CMYK (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, Black) instead of the default RGB (Red, Green, Blue). Most scanners and digital cameras will create images as RGB. Images can easily be converted to CMYK in software packages like Adobe Photoshop or similar. We could convert your images at Coloursonic but it's always best if you do this at your end. If you need any clarification please don't hesitate to call us.

As far as file formats are concerned, just about anything goes. TIFF, EPS, PDF you name it! Although we can take JPEG files and generally they will print OK, there is some chance, depending on compression levels, of 'noise' or presence of compression artefacts which may spoil the print when blown up to large sizes. You could send us a PDF too but be aware that the compression used in this format will sometimes cause similar noise problems. Apart from the points mentioned we can accept formats created by all of the major software packages. If you have any further questions regarding how to supply files, please give us a call.
