new FF flyers needed!

[alexh365]

Let me see if i can get the a group melded in there then tonight

And yea, this is a nice big A3 artboard in illustrator wasn't sure what size it would be needed at. Just if Dave wants to do them on photo paper at Tesco or Photobox etc, then it doesn't quite fit on 6x4 properly so Ittl need some minor tweek.

Yeah deffo!!

No FF pennies for getting any done properly? A5 or A4 on something like a 170gsm gloss? or 300 if your coffers can cope.

Dave, the ones I used to do were sized at 300dpi to whatever size they required printing at, whether it be 6"x4" at 300dpi or 8"x6" at 300dpi for the larger ones.

This was purely because it was the resolution the printers at the lab I used to work at used, although its a good resolution to use for pretty much all photolab printers. It's also a good size to use for a printing lab. Too much resolution (eg. 600dpi) can sometimes cause jagged edges depending on how the software sizes it to fit when printing.

3-400dpi is a good all round res for this sort of stuff.

make us a new one, with out bmw's on it though

 

[Bushboy]

Well...

Seeing as you asked so nicely :



Totally BMW free, but I couldn't make a flyer without sticking your ugly mug on it, Dave

 

[dave]

cool will that print out nice on my free prints deal?

 

[Bushboy]

Yeah. It's an 8x6 size. I can do you a smaller one if you wany 6x4.

 

[dave]

i got 50 free ones done by snapfish, it asked if i wanted cropped or not cropped, i chose not and a bit of the left side is gone

Anything done by these online photo production companys needs a good 1-2cm clearzone round the edge as who knows how it will line up during the printing process.

Sadly what you cant bargain for is if they will (or there automated system will) slightly enlarge the image to give them some bleed for cutting.

Comercially printed products would give far superior results. (OK not as shiney....)

chris used to do thousands for us at work for the cost of paper, but then he changed jobs
i think some people still have a few hundread of them but they all out of date now old logo and say we only got about 20k members

 

[Bushboy]

Best bet is to ask them to "crop", "fit-in" or "fit to page". The image is sized to an 8x6 so there wont be any cropping when made to fit.

As said, if asked not to "crop", most systems will enlarge the image slightly to create a bleed for cutting.

Just for reference to people wanting flyers (if you guys even still bother?)...

Just got a bit of stuff printed for my freelancing work through http://www.inkylittlefingers.co.uk. Whilst browsing the site I noticed they will do 100 A5 fliers (full colour, double sided) for around £30 and you get better value, the more you get printed.

Go to leaflets (Flyers is for massive quantities) and choose A5 unfolded, 130gsm gloss, double sided colour.

I'm in no way affiliated with the company, but can recommend them through using them for my own work.

Defo worth a look if you ever want any printed for shows!
