Artwork

We have designed our site so that you can easily upload your completed artwork in order to process your order and have included a selection of frequently asked questions which should address most of the queries you may have.

If however you prefer to email us or you have a query we haven’t addressed, please contact print@cleardesigns.ie attaching your artwork if applicable.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the nature of colour conversion, files supplied in RGB / Microsoft Programmes cannot be guaranteed of an exact colour match. This is beyond the control of all printers but we will endeavour to ensure the nearest possible match.

Microsoft Office Files
Clear Designs can accept Office files however we accept no responsibility in any alterations that may occur during the conversion. If Clear Designs do the conversion then we will supply a PDF proof for you to ensure nothing has moved or got deleted in the conversion.If you wish to convert to PDF before supplying your artwork you can either download a PDF FREE printer here at www.pdf995.com or by a web service here: convert.neevia.comClear Designs cannot guarantee colours from any Microsoft application as the applications on offer are not professional graphic design applications and the resulting ink values will not always correspond with what you view on-screen. We do however endeavour to ensure that the best possible is made.
