                                       In the artwork check we will look at the following:
                                       • Is the artwork saved in the correct format (Pdf, Indd, Cdr, Psd, Etc)?

                                       • Do the number of sides supplied correspond with the product ordered?
                                       • Is the document the correct size* (has bleed and margins been provided)?

                                         slight colour variations**
                                       • Have all fonts been embedded, expanded or converted into curves, and are all the images

Digital printing refers to methods of printing from a digital-based image directly to a variety of media. It usually refers to professional printing
where small-run jobs are printed using large-format and/or high-resolution laser printers. Digital printing has a higher cost per page than more
traditional offset printing methods, but this price is usually offset by avoiding the cost of all the technical steps required to make printing plates etc.
It also allows for on-demand printing, short turnaround time, and even a modification of the image or text (variable data) used for each impression.

Offset printing is a commonly used printing technique in which the inked image is transferred (or “offset”) from a plate to a rubber blanket, then to
the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water, the offset technique
employs a flat (planographic) image carrier on which the image to be printed obtains ink from ink rollers, while the non-printing area attracts a
water-based film (called “fountain solution”), keeping the non-printing areas ink-free.
