What is a Professional File Check?

For a small fee, an expert member of our technical team will manually review your artwork before it goes to print so you can press 'go' with complete confidence. If you've ordered multiple products, you can choose to add a Professional File Check to individual jobs or your entire order. We'll check your file for common print setup issues and, where possible, fix them before production. If we find anything that needs your attention, we'll contact you and place your order on hold until you've updated and re-uploaded your artwork. We'll check things like: Image resolution for print quality Bleed and safe areas Page count and page order on folded products Corrupt, blank or password-protected files Templates left on artwork Folds, cut lines, drill holes and binding areas (where applicable) Foil alignment and minimum line widths (where applicable) Personalisation files and version quantities (where applicable) A Professional File Check doesn't include: Spelling, grammar or proofreading Design, layout or text sizing advice Colour accuracy or colour mode checks (RGB/CMYK) QR code testing Calendar date checks Post-print quality inspection beyond our standard production processes See a full list of what's included here . Adding a Professional File Check won't delay your estimated delivery date, unless we need you to amend and re-upload your artwork after we've reviewed it. To upgrade to a Professional File Check, simply select the option when you upload your artwork. We'll take care of the rest and let you know if we spot anything that needs your attention before your job goes to print.

What is the smallest size Notebook?

Our smallest size notebook is A6 (105mm x 148.5mm) perfect for a pocket Notebook, ideal for jotting down quick notes, to-do lists, or creative ideas on the go. Despite its compact size, it offers ample space for customisation, making it a practical and personal accessory.

How can I create a recycled Notebook?

Creating a recycled Notebook is both fun and easy, offering a range of options! Begin by selecting your eco-friendly cover paper - choose between Recycled Silk or Recycled Uncoated, based on the finish you're looking for. Your Notebook will be printed with a personalised touch, making it not only stylish but also sustainable. We're here to support you at every step of the way.

What is the difference between leaves and pages?

A "page" refers to one side of a sheet of paper, so when you open a Notebook, you're looking at two pages (left and right). A "leaf", on the other hand, is a single sheet of paper in the Notebook, which has two pages (front and back). Therefore, if you have 100 pages, you actually have 50 leaves.

What binding types are available?

We provide a variety of binding options tailored to your needs: Spiral Bound: Perfect for allowing your Notebook to lay flat. Saddle Stitch: Ideal for a branded Notebook with slightly less pages. Perfect Bound: Bound with glue, perfect binding offers a premium professional look. Hardback: Our most durable option, Hardback Notebooks are the ideal choice if you're looking to make an impression. We also provide double-sided cover printing and the option for laminated covers (excluding Hardback Notebooks), adding an extra layer of quality and protection to your Notebooks.

Do I need to provide inner page artwork for my Notebooks?

If you're printing through our Spiral Bound Notebooks, Perfect Bound Notebooks, Saddle Stitch Notebooks, or Hardback Notebooks products, you don't need to provide us with artwork for your inner pages. In our product builder you can choose from a range of pre-set inner page designs, including blank and ruled. If you're printing Spiral Bound Notebooks, Perfect Bound Notebooks or Saddle Stitch Notebooks, you do need to provide us with artwork for both your outer and inner covers. If you would like to have blank inner covers, please insert blank pages for these into your artwork. Your artwork should be in running order, for example: Page 1 - front outer cover Page 2 - front inner cover (even if blank) Page 3 - back inner cover (even if blank) Page 4 - back outer cover If you're printing Perfect Bound Notebooks, you do have the option to upload your artwork as spreads, in which case we need: Page 1 - front and back outer cover spread Page 2 - front and back inner cover spread (even if blank) If you're printing Hardback Notebooks, the inner covers are always blank. Therefore, we only need artwork for your outer cover spread. To ensure your artwork is correct, our downloadable template is available on the product page.

What line spacing do Notebooks use?

Great question, our larger Notebooks (A4) use wider 8mm spacing for more open writing, while A5 and A6 use a narrower 6mm spacing to make the most of the smaller page size. Here's a full breakdown: A4 Notebooks Ruled - 8mm line spacing, with a 25mm left margin Squared - 8mm line spacing, with no margin Dotted - 8mm line spacing, with no margin A5 Notebooks Ruled - 6mm line spacing, with a 20mm left margin Squared - 6mm line spacing, with no margin Dotted - 6mm line spacing, with no margin A6 Notebooks Ruled - 6mm line spacing, with a 15mm left margin Squared - 6mm line spacing, with no margin Dotted - 6mm line spacing, with no margin Our Hardback Notebooks work slightly differently due to their binding, and have a standard 7mm line spacing for ruled inner pages with no margin.

Quick tips to print perfection

We like to be as flexible as possible, so you can upload your files as PDF, JPEG, TIFF and PNG. PDF's and JPEGs are the most accepted file type across all our products, so we recommend using those wherever possible.

Bleed is an area of print outside the document that must be added to your artwork before it’s sent off for print. By adding the all-important bleed (a minimum of 3mm on all edges), there’ll be no risk of white space left on your document and it'll be trimmed correctly without cutting into any design. Some products require a different amount of bleed, so be sure to check our downloadable templates to find out the correct amount.

The safe area is the space inside where your print will be trimmed. Keeping any important parts of your design away from this area will make sure that they aren’t accidentally trimmed off due to the natural movement while your print gets finished. Our downloadable templates will indicate the recommended amount of safe area for your print.

RGB is the colour gamut used to display images on a computer screen, and stands for Red, Green and Blue. CMYK is the colour gamut used for conventional printing, and stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Unless you’re printing Giclée Fine Art Prints or Photographic Prints, please set up your artwork in CMYK.

Our Versions service lets you print multiple designs using the same product specifications. For instance, if you have five different designs that share the same size, orientation, and paper stock, you can print them all at once using this service. By opting for Versions, you're increasing your overall quantity, which means you'll enjoy a lower cost per unit. To use Versions, simply select "yes" in the product builder when prompted with "Do you want to print more than one design?". When using Versions, the quantity you enter in the product builder applies to each design. For example, if you choose a quantity of 10 with 5 Versions, you'll receive a total of 50 prints.

Personalisation is a simple, cost-effective way to tailor each of your individual prints. You can use personalisation for different text elements like names, addresses, and even personalised messages. However, if the text content on your design is the same for all prints, you don't need personalisation. There are two main options for personalising your print - you can either choose to add the personalised elements to your artwork yourself, or send us your artwork with a placeholder and a CSV containing a list of all the names/ personalised elements, and we’ll merge the two for you.

If you don’t embed fonts and your document is opened on another computer system that doesn’t have access to the original fonts, different fonts will be substituted instead. This could really affect the look of your finished print. Embedding fonts into your original design will stop them from changing.

Remember to save your artwork out at a minimum of 300dpi resolution. This will ensure that when printed, your artwork quality is as crisp as possible.

If you've chosen a shape for your print (such as arch, wavy, circle or pebble where available), you'll find templates for these shapes on additional layers within the standard square or rectangular template. Download the template for the correct size, then delete the layers you don't need, leaving the layer for your chosen shape as a guide while creating your artwork. Delete all template layers before saving and uploading your artwork. This will prevent the template from being printed on top of your design.

What should I know before preparing artwork for print?

Here are the 7 key things you need to know before preparing your artwork to be printed with us:

1. We provide downloadable templates:

On most of our product pages, you can find free downloadable templates to help you set up your artwork for print. They’re available in AI, IDML and PDF formats to suit the design software you’re working in. Our downloadable templates include key information on creating artwork as well as instructions on how to save out your print-ready PDF.

2. You need to include bleed:

3. Keep in mind the safe area:

4. The difference between RGB and CMYK:

5. Embed your fonts:

6. Check your image resolution:

For the best print results, all artwork files should be at least 300dpi (dots per inch) when saved at the actual size they will appear in your design. This ensures that your final printed project is sharp and clear, not blurry or pixelated.

7. How to export a PDF:

Exporting your design into a print-ready PDF is easy. We’ve created some handy video guides which will take you through the process which you can find here.

Find lots more artwork tips here, including if you’re printing any special finishes such as foiling. For products with multiple pages, such as Brochures or Booklets, explore our book printing guide here.
