Bleed is the extra
space around the outside of your printed area. Any
images on the edge of your flyer, should 'bleed'
off the page; please use a 3mm bleed for all flyers.
So in effect make your canvas 3mm bigger in every
direction, but view this space as unusuable area.

What
is an advisable working area within the flyer?
Flyers always look better
when you keep the text away from the edge, 5-10mm
is normally fine. (Use our Download
Templates if you are unsure)
What
resolution should I supply files at?
File resolution must be 300
dpi. No more, no less! This is the optimum setting
for our printers and anything higher or lower than
300dpi will just slow things down. (Use our Download

RGB
or CMYK... which is correct?
We print using CMYK techniques
so if you dont supply us with CMYK images we have
to convert them to CMYK, this results in a colour
shift, and your prints will appear slightly duller.
If you are unsure how to create CMYK files, use
our Download Templates
as a guide.
What
software can I use to create my files?
You can use whatever software
you like to create your files, all we ask is that
you supply them to us in Compressed TIFF, PDF or
High Quality JPEG file in CMYK at 300dpi. For the
best results use Adobe
Photoshop or Illustrator.
Make sure the files adhere to the guidelines listed
above! (Use our Download

How
do I get my artwork to you?
The reason we offer such
good prices is because we operate in a very streamlined
way. So we have one way of sending in artwork. Through
the internet. Email your order manually to info@theflyerprinters.com
or use our online ordering system. (online orders
are processed faster than ordering manually). Be
sure to include your delivery details and contact
numbers... so many people forget! :)
Why
is paying with PayPal a little more expensive?
PayPal fees are additional
and are paid directly to PayPal Europe. It is their
commision for processing your card details &
checking for fraud in the most secure manner. If
you do not wish to pay using PayPal we can accept
cheque or direct bank transfer. Direct Bank Transfer
(BACS, CHAPS or telephone banking) is fast becoming
the most popular way to pay. It is 100% secure from
our point of view. Most payments using this show
up instantly in the account which speeds up your
printing too. Please remember that some banks can
take up to 3 days for Direct Bank Transfer and up
to 10 days for Cheques. This is not the norm, but
it can happen.
Why
do I have to wait longer if I pay with Cheque?
We need to wait for the confirmation
that your cheque has cleared from the Bank, once
we have received that, we can start to process your
order... SO PLAN AHEAD! Please add around 7-10 days
in to your order schedule if you wish to pay with
Cheque.
Why
do you require money up front?
Because some people take
ages to pay! We used to offer credit but we found
that once we had delivered customers their work,
their level of urgency to pay us dropped...and waiting
to be paid is not nice! So if we dont even touch
the job till we get payment it means we can offer
a better service to those who are serious about
their work.
Why
are your flyers so cheap? Are you low quality printers?
We offer a top quality print
quality on the best stock using the best inks and
presses. The way we can acheive such a good price
is because on every flyer we print we add (in tiny
writing!) "printed by theflyerprinters.com".
This way every flyer that is distributed can act
as a small advert for us, helping us keep our advertising
costs down and passing the saving on to you! This
is only valid for flyers & posters. We do not
add this text to any other forms of printing, ie.
Letterheads, business cards etc. If you have any
questions please contact us.
