Yes you can supply your own images, you can use images off a digital camera or scanned from your original photographs or paintings. We have the abilty to scan your images, although there is a charge of £3.00 per scan. If you are supplying your own images please note we require your images to be at 300dpi for effective printing. If you do not understand DPI simply set your cameras picture size to the maximum. Generally a 4 megapixel camera on its highest setting will output close to an A4 size image. Cameras usually report back the size as being in pixels. We require images at the following size in pixels: 2480px x 1748px.
If you are scanning your originals, please ensure that you are scanning to the correct size and at 300dpi effective resolution - most scanning software allows you to control these settings.

Yes you can supply us print ready artwork preferrably in PDF format or an image file such as: JPEG, TIFF or BMP. We can accept working versions from most design applications, but please be aware that certain elements may be unavailable to us such as fonts. If you are collecting for output please ensure that all fonts and images are included.

We would prefer all files to be sent in as PDF files but understand that not everybody has the
facility to create PDF files. We can accept image files such as: JPEG, TIFF & BMP. If you can only save for example in Microsoft Word, ie: a document file then send us this file and we will try to work with it. Please understand we do not have an exhaustive supply of programs - wherever possible we will try to give you a workaround solution from your chosen software.

There are a few templates available with the previous, current and next month dates on. There are only a couple but there is a solution for wall hanging, desktop and cd case calendars. We can also provide a bespoke design service charged at £35.00 per hour to create whatever solution you may require.

Any of the templates can be modified to your requirements, charged at £35.00 and hour and once your proof has been created it is for you to proof read the calendar checking that all the dates are correct.

The supplied templates are for guide purposes only. They are downloadable but they are non editable. We hold the editable versions in our professional software format. If you require a working template the only format we can supply this in is in the form of a Quarkxpress file - please contact us with your version of Quarkxpress if you require an editable template.

The templates on line are used as a guide template only. They are not immediately editable by
yourselves, however we can control the colour of specific bars for you if required. For instance if you choose a template that has a peach coloured bar, this bar can be changed to suit your company colours.

All the templates have different size images but as a rule we ask for the images to be saved as A5 in size: 210mm wide x 148mm high.(Reversed if portrait) We require your images to be at 300dpi for effective printing. If you do not understand DPI simply set your camera picture size to the maximum. Generally a 3 megapixel camera on its highest setting will output close to an A4 size image. Cameras usually report back the size as being in pixels. Generally we require images at the following size in pixels: 2480px x 1748px

If you require you images on your calendar to print right to the edge of the page we need to add something we call 'bleed'. Bleed is the inclusion of 3mm extra around the finished file size. We also have to take into consideration a 5mm sensitive area on the inside from the edge of the file. This means that any 'sensitive information' stays and does not get cut off during the finishing process.

The best way to explain what we mean about 'bleed' and the 'sensitive area' is to provide a visual guide, please click here to see a visual guide

There are a few templates that have image holders for more than one image, We can manipulate these image holders as we see fit, for instance a template with 6 images grouped together can be changed to 2 images or 4 images etc. Please note that any deviation away from the templates other than a simple colour change will be charged for at £35.00 per hour.

It is preferable that all images are formatted in the correct orientation for your calendar. In the event that portrait images are required we can do one of the following. 1 - Crop the image to fit the available space (This may mean a considerable portion of the image may be missing!) 2 - Fit the image to the space available (This will result in some whitespace being evident where the image does not fill the holder.

Send an email to simon@colourdigitalprint.com with the specification of your calender ie: A4 13 page x 250 and your contact details and postal address for your proof to be sent.
Tell us which calendar template you wish to use and the images you have chosen from the online image gallery or your own images you have provided either by uploading them to our FTP server or by posting in a CD containing your images.
For more detail on providing your images click on (How do I supply my own images) We will then email a confirmation of the price and post your proof.

We can receive your files in the following ways:
By post: Usually original photos, paintings and CD’s with digital shots on. Use this if your images are huge in digital or physical size.
By Email: Emails are great if they get through. We get sent a lot of emails everyday and as such our inbox gets full very quickly. Use this service if your images are less than 5mb in size. Files would preferably be zipped or compressed together when sending by email. If your timescale is urgent DO NOT USE EMAIL - use the FTP.
By FTP: We have an FTP server so that we can recieve your files correctly. There is a simple button to click to access this service, you can find it here. We have tried to keep this as simple as possible. The software uses Javascript and will need to be installed if it isnt already on your computer.

The proof will be an accurate representation of what your finished calendar will look like, the only
difference may be that the colours could vary slightly.

The main reason for the price lists not working on your computer will almost certainly be down to which Internet browser you are using. The site has been designed around Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 and above. Other browsers such as opera and firefox experience difficulties when viewing the price lists. We are aware of the problem and are working on a solution to this. Until such time we recommend the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer to view the price lists.

Email relies upon several factors and destination points to work correctly. If any of these fail we will not receive your email - for instance: if someone sends us a 20mb email, our email box is full until our server grabs the mail and downloads it. Our servers grab mail every fifteen minutes. We recommend that any urgent files are FTP’d and only small files such as information and text are sent via email.

If you are using one of our personalisation solutions such as calendars you will need to supply us your database of customers. These can be sent in any database format, however we do prefer them to be sent as Excel files. You can either simply save the spreadsheet or export the data. We always check your database before commencing any print run, and will inform you if you need to make any adjustments to the database.

Each page is printed in full colour on a 150gsm gloss paper as standard, other papers are available but cost considerably more because we purchase the 150gsm gloss paper in huge bulk.

We use a 650micron white card board backing. We can use a 750micron grey board which is thicker but not as popular due to poeples preference for a white board.

Yes we do this on our six, seven and eight page calendars but the cost saving is not very much compared to our twelve and thirteen page calendars which is why they aren't very popular.
