FREE AI IS NO GOOD FOR PRINT!

AI is no use for print

FREE AI IS NO GOOD FOR PRINT!
Just a heads up for those who use AI to generate flyers, logo etc
Recently allot of customers are coming to me with flyers they have made using AI.
Just a bit of information for you, AI is perfect for generating images for use online as the quality it makes is 96 dpi (Digital Pixels per Inch)
Which is an acceptable standard for online use but, but for printing the quality of artwork typically needs to be 300 dpi which Ai does not generate successfully on any free version that I have come across.
So be careful, as allot of people are quiet happy to take your money and print you something that is less than good print quality.
The main problem is the better the quality of print the more the Bad quality of an image will show.
On the attached image you can clearly see the resolution is far too low for large format print & also in the wrong colour palette for print.

  • FLYER SIZE CHARTSimple-Flyer-Size-Chart.-804x1024

    On the Left is a simple guide to flyer / Leaflet sizes I have put together, as for some bizarre reason the higher the number the smaller the size when it comes to paper size.  It is something a lot of people struggle with so I hope the below diagram helps. I have done it using a standard A4 sheet of printer paper from a home printer. (if you click the image to view it larger)

     

     

    My Promise

    1. I will never charge you more than I need to, I make my profit on artwork & amendments plus a small administration fee per order, unless it’s on a 1 day invoice then it is cost price.
    2. If I get the print at an offer price then you will get the print at an offer price.
    3. I am not looking to make huge profits per order, I never round my prices up & I will always give you the best price I can at the time of Quotation.
    4. I never talk crap, I say it as it is in all aspects of what I do. If I think something will benefit your artwork I will tell you. If I see a better deal for just a couple of quid more I will tell you. I don’t believe in hiking my prices up or having hidden extras. Come back for changes to a previous piece of artwork you will only be charged a couple of quid for alterations.

    I will always give 100% to each & every Job - I will never rip a customer off – I will always you as it is.

    Thanks Adam
