check DESIGN SERVICES

  • What about the Basic Artwork offer?

    TEKSOFT PRINT offers graphic design services FREE with every printing order. As our customer you will not be charged for basic design of your print job. Typically, this means you simply select from our wide range of pre-designed, professional templates. These are then customised to suit your needs and will include your details and your choice of images and text. TEKSOFT PRINT will then dispatch a low-resolution image in jpeg or pdf format to your email address for your approval before it is printed.

  • Does this mean Teksoft Print will design my company logo for free?

    No, logo design is not free. Designing a logo for any business is a very involved and complex undertaking. Your logo is a reflection on you and your business. Each and every logo we create is absolutely unique and is the result of careful planning and consideration. Teksoft Print has the professional know how to create a unique image for your business so please feel free to contact us and inquire about pricing.

  • Who owns the rights on the final design?

    This depends on who supplied the artwork. For example, if you provide the artwork or text, you retain copyright on that text or artwork. If Teksoft Print provides the artwork using royalty and royalty free graphics, these are licensed and/or paid for by Teksoft Print; therefore, Teksoft Print retains the right to reproduce the final design artwork.

  • Can I purchase the rights of my design?

    Certainly, if Teksoft Print has designed artwork on your behalf, then, for an additional cost, you may choose to purchase the rights on your finished printed product. Teksoft Print will then agree to only reproduce that particular design exclusively for you and will not use it for any other customer. To find out about pricing, please contact us.

  • Will Teksoft Print reuse my design for another company?

    Given the exclusive nature of graphic design, each print job is designed and created individually. Even if you use our templates as a foundation for your product, Teksoft Print will customise the design, with the end result being a unique professionally designed and printed product for your business. We will not reproduce your design for another customer.

check PRINTING SERVICES

  • On the online proof section the colours look different to my original file?

    Because of the CMYK to RGB conversion process, online image previews do not accurately portray colour. As long as your files are in CMYK format the colour should be similar to your files but not exact, since your monitor is not calibrated to our press.

  • Do you have a quality guarantee for your printing?

    When you order your printing through Teksoft Print, you can be assured of quality and professional service for each and every printing job we undertake. Our quality control team checks every order before it is dispatched to ensure it meets our strict quality standards and all printing is covered by our quality control guarantee.

    • Adobe Acrobat
    • Adobe Illustrator
    • Adobe InDesign
    • Adobe Photoshop
    • Adobe PageMaker

    Please do not send photos or graphics in word format (.doc) as these are difficult to extract. If you have any problems please contact us and we can help you. Our professional designers can digitally redraw most low-resolution graphics.
  • What resolution does my artwork need to be for printing?

    To ensure the best quality print job we require all provided graphic files and images should be equivalent to 300dpi. Images should not be 'resized' or overly compressed.

    For example, if you are providing digital photos and wish to achieve a high-quality '300dpi' photo, your digital camera will need to be set to at least 2 megapixels for a small image or 3MP or more for a larger one.

    Also, images taken from the web are usually 60 to 72ppi, which is usually too low for printing. For more advice on specifications, resolution and other technical issues please contact us.

  • And what is 'dpi'?

    DPI is simply Dots per Inch. This is the standard unit of measurement for print resolution for printing devices including laser printers, inkjets, photo typesetting machines; whereas PPI or pixels per inch refers to image resolution and is used for digital cameras and computer monitors. Sometimes these terms are used interchangeably.

    For example a monitor may display images at 60 to 72 ppi while a desktop laser printer may print at 300 DPI or more, while a professional typesetting system may print at 1,000dpi or more.

  • What are CMYK and PMS?

    CMYK is an acronym that stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (K). This refers to the four colors used to print in 'full colour' or '4 colour' printing. These colours are combined by printing them over the top of one another, thereby creating the illusion of full colour.

    PMS refers to the Pantone Matching System and is a proprietary colour matching system, used by printers and designers all over the world to specify standard colors used for ink selection. PMS guarantees colour accuracy regardless of when and where the job is printed. PMS colours are usually applied as extra colours, on top of the normal CMYK colours.

  • Fonts in my EPS Logo?

    Please ensure that all Logos sent to us have all the fonts outlined. In Adobe Illustrator you can do this by selecting all fonts (command + A) go to type menu and choose create outlines.

  • I spotted a mistake on my artwork after I uploaded it. Can it be corrected?

    Until you approved your artwork you can make as many changes as you need. However, if you want to make any corrections after the artwork has been approved, it will depend on how far into the printing process we are when we receive the request. If your job has not been printed yet, we will be more than happy to correct it for you but we cannot correct errors if your job has already been printed. For your own peace of mind, we recommend you carefully check your proof before you approve it.
