How Many Colours in Your Brand?
Guidance on Spot Printing
The graphics here show the difference between a 1 colour, 2 colour, 3 colour and 4 colour spot printed logo. Spot colour printing is used when we need to print in a specific colour (usually a Pantone reference) to match your brand. This may be screen printed, pad printed (also known as tampo printed) or transfer printed. Each colour must be solid with no gradients or tints. Your artwork must have all outlines converted to curves, known as vectored.
1 Colour
2 Colour
3 Colour
4 Colour
Guidance on Full Colour Printing
Full colour digital printing differs from spot printing because this method maintains dots printed in CMYK, similar to paper print. Full colour print methods include dye sublimation, full colour transfer printing, direct to garment (DTG) or direct to film (DTF) printing. Your full colour artwork can have gradients, tints and shadows plus photographs and imagery. It’s a less restrictive print option although you must provide high resolution graphics (minimum 300dpi) to ensure print quality. The graphic example shows a full colour printed version of the same logo shown above, for comparison.

Guidance for Engraving, Debossing and Foil Blocking
For engraving, debossing and foil blocking print methods we recommend you provide vectored artwork in 1 colour. A vector file is made up of shapes with solid edges therefore this gives the best finish.
TOP TIP! Try and avoid any small details as these may infill.
Single Colour artwork removing fine text and detail
File Types
We accept EPS, PDF, AI, PSD, JPG, PNG file types. If you have selected spot colour print, we will require your artwork in vector format. Image raster files much be supplied in a minimum 300dpi, high resolution to ensure a quality print.
