Printing

All Colorplan and Vanguard cards are digitally printed. All printing is done using CMYK with white as a fifth colour. White ink works best on Vanguard as it is a smoother stock. We're unable to offer pantone printing.

Printed Proofs

Printed colour proofs are available for £8+VAT. Please note, that this is not an actual sample of the finished product, it is a printed proof on an A4 sheet for colour approval. The reason we offer this is that, people often view proofs on mobile or tablet devices which show bright vibrant RGB colours. Printing is done using CMYK so colours often appear differently. A printed colour proof is a great way to ensure you're happy with the colour prior to running your order. Please note that, without a printed proof, we are unable to offer reprints due to colour variation as there is nothing to match to during production.

Simply let us know which cards colours you'd like from the selection below when you upload your artwork.

Foils Colours Choices

Please let us know which foil(s) colours you'd like from the selection below when you upload your artwork. Remember to clearly indicate foil colours on your artwork. We'll send you a proof to confirm everything is correct prior to printing.

Blank Artwork Templates

All artwork files for business cards must be supplied at a minimum resolution of 300dpi for full colour printing and 1200dpi for foil blocking. Artwork for foil blocking can supplied on a different layer or as a separate foil. Please clearly indicate the layer or file, so we can send you a digital proof prior to production.

If you need advice, please email artwork(at)afterhourscreativestudio.com.
