Artwork Format

  • We only accept artwork in either of the following formats .ai / .eps / .psd / .tiff / .pdf
  • We strongly encourage customers to ONLY submit artwork that was created using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign
  • Please ensure all the texts are outlined

Artwork Resolution

  • All artwork & images used in the artwork must have a minimum resolution of 300dpi
  • Captain Print will not be liable for any blurred or low-res image on the artwork provided by customer.

Artwork Colour Setting

  • All colour artwork and/or images must be provided in CMYK format. Computer monitor colours are rendered in RGB mode and all files received in RGB or other colour formats will be converted to CYMK for printing without prior notice, and our company shall not be responsible for any colour aberration caused by the conversion.

Artwork Colour Matching

  • In order to provide a cheaper end cost to customers, we print CMYK printing jobs together and marginal variations are to be expected from one print run to another.

    While we take great effort to match colours as accurately as possible, we cannot be held liable for these marginal color variations (10% colour tolerance) or inaccuracies in the printed matter which may be more evident in reprints. A 100% exact colour match is not possible.
