Designs for all jobs should be in PDF or JPG.
PDF is our preferred format. All font/Text should be Outlined/ Curved while creating/converting to pdf. JPEG provides good quality outcomes if the file is converted under certain specifications. Text and vector images appear less sharp compared to PDF file format.
COLOURS
The working CMYK profile must be U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2. All colours in the design must be CMYK only. Do not use RGB and Panton Colours.
SIZE
Design size should be as per final job size (90 x 53mm, 210 x 280mm, 420 x 280mm, etc). All-important matter in the design should be at least 4mm inside from all edges, so that important matter does not come under cutting. Provision for binding margin for jobs like Book wrapper, Bill Books, Receipts, etc. and extra space for Die-cut should be made within the final job size. All the time it is not guaranteed that the artwork will be placed near the Gripper even if it is requested. Design will not be edited by us. Job size should be from our standard product list only if not the price may vary.
BITMAP
All Drop Shadow, Contour, Blend, Bevel effects should be " break apart ", Convert all lens effect, Fountain Fill, Monochrome EPS, OLE object & images to 300 dpi CMYK bitmap.
For Copies more than 1,000 - first placement (up) in the set will not have any issue after printing. For 2-up, 3-up,....n-up the shadow will be shifted while ripping if Bitmap not done for Drop Shadow. This case is applicable for all Special effects.
OVERPRINT FILL
Do not set colours as "Overprint Fill". Overprint is a way of combining colours when dealing with subtractive colour spaces such as CMYK. When you print non-transparent, overlapping colours, the top colour knock outs the area underneath. When used intentionally, overprint represents an additional way to create artwork that is visually interesting and distinctive. However, if overprint is turned on without your realising it, you will probably end up with prints that look significantly different from what you expected when designing them.
We shall not be held responsible for any Overprint setting in your artwork. Kindly do the self-check for any unwanted Overprint setting in your artwork.
COLOUR RATIO
Letters / texts colours must be formed by two colour combinations only.
Preferably do not put heavy patches in the design. Due to this back set-off will appear.
Avoid any Dark colour tint designs and backgrounds in Special Cards (Corporate, Metallic and Textured Cards), you can't expect the same colour output as in normal 300 GSM boards.
Maintain the total colour ratio less than 210% (Cyan+Magenta+Yellow+Black<210%) to avoid lamination issues.
For single-colour saturations, extremely light ink coverage (under 10%) may not even print at all. We recommend your colour choices, even your darkest sections, stay within the 150%-210% range. This area will show a lot of colour flexibility, while preventing the muddied look when colours approach 300% and above.
In order to make your tint/toning effect more obvious, make sure the value between colours are at least 15% of different.
LINES AND BORDERS
Do not set line weight less than 0.25pts. Avoid borders in the artwork, it is difficult to get even borders after cutting.
SOLID BLACK
Standard black uses only black ink (100% K), whereas rich black contains elements of other colours (30% Cyan, 30% Magenta, 30% Yellow) either.
Refer previous tab "Layout & Format"
This will make the black denser onto an image if you want your background not to show through.
Printer will be solely responsible for rejection of job due to design errors or effects. No complaint in this matter will be accepted.
After Designing keep the size of the artwork at 100% in your software or adjust the size of the artwork design in the computer screen as it match the size of the printed job / card. If the Letters are blur even in the computer screen at this percentage, increase the font size in the design for legibility. Letters with the dark background (more than one colour combination outside the letters) must be large enough to avoid penetration of ink from the combination of colours in the dark background.

Synthetic Sheet is a paper which does not tear, it is not water-proof. Upon scratching ink on this paper will come off.
Standard Papers / Boards will be used for all other paper Medias mentioned in our product list. All papers / boards of different mills will be used as per their availability, hence variation in brightness, pattern / texture and thickness may appear.
CREASING / FOLDING:
The grain in paper comes from how the fibers of the paper are arranged. We try to consider the grain direction within the framework of print production. However, we cannot exclude slight cracking occurring at the fold.

As the jobs are printed in Gang Printing, 100% colour matching is not possible and there will be 30% of the colour variation when compared to the submitted file. If the customer needs the exact colour, the job will be taken as an individual job and the cost will differ from the price shown in our website. The designs that we see in the Computer Screens are in RGB and the job we print is in CMYK, there will also be a slight colour change because of the difference of these colour standards and technologies. Colour shade and printing changes as per Paper. This cannot be emphasised enough that Colour is not guaranteed and may differ each run. By placing an orders with us you agree to this limitation. Under no circumstances will a reprint be honored for colour variations that have occurred during the printing process.
REPEAT JOBS
Colour and printing may not match in repeat jobs.The two main goals in gang run printing are substantial cost savings and pleasant colour matching. Our press operators balance the colours on all jobs so everyone has a 95%-98% colour consistency. Below you can see the results of having all dark cards on a run versus having light cards. The dark cards may darken your card's image slightly whereas the light images may lighten the image. As you will see in the example of the Fitness Centre card below, the skin tone as card card-body as the colour may shift from run to run.
Since the ganging of jobs is an automated process we cannot change the card order for special requests. If colour matching is critical to your order, we do not recommend gang run printing. A custom run of only your order will give our press operators the control needed to match your colours exactly.
In front-back job, if there is same colour on both the sides, print and colour variation will appear.
Digital Print and Offset Print the colours are non-comparable.
Colour variation will appear in dark shades of Grey, Violet, Blue, Green, Brown, and Orange.
Back set-off will appear on back side of the job for designs having heavy patch.

Spot UV and Gold Foil cannot be done to text smaller than 16 point Bold, Screen Half tone as well as line drawing. Avoid Spot UV and Gold Foil for font type with a sharp end edge (eg: Serif font) and small logos which contain wording. Make sure that line thickness in not less than 0.5pts for Spot UV and Gold Foil. Please note that the items in the design which are not possible / difficult for screen printing will be eliminated without the concern of the customer.
Spot UV and Gold Foil is not preferred to be at the edges of the visiting card. Cutting will damage the UV coat and foil at the edges.
There could be difference of 0.25 to 0.75 mm in the registration of Spot UV.

Maintain the total colour ratio less than 210% (Cyan+Magenta+Yellow+Black<210%), if not ink won't be dried soon and lamination problem exists in such case.
Final job size may be - 3 mm as compared to the ordered size. Rarely cutting of a job may be slightly cross.
If there is borders it is difficult to see even borders after cutting.
To speed the printing process we use a machine like this to cut many sheets at the same time. During the process the sheets may shift so it's very common that any border designed too close to the cutting line will look uneven in the printed product.
During the cutting process there is a 1-2mm margin of error (due to characteristics of the stock, pressure placed on the product when being cut, as well as outside factors that may affect the printing process such as weather, humidity etc.), Shree Maruthi Printers does not guarantee 100% center cuts. Please keep this in mind when creating your design.
DIE-CUT
Cutting Edge Tolerance: + - 1mm.
NOTE: Customers are advised to revise artwork when these problems are detected. Shree Maruthi Printers shall not be held liable for any of defect in printing outcome due to artwork sent not correctly prepared as advised.
