Artwork

 

The Studio

Supplied artwork of any format will be made print ready by our expert pre-press staff. If you require a brochure, leaflet or logo designed our studio rates competitive and we can quote per design. If you've completed your artwork already then upon receipt of your copy, pictures and instructions we can supply you with an estimate for your print ready artwork.
If you are supplying a description for artwork please make sure you give as much information as possible. We will not charge for minor changes but there would be additional costs if we were requested to do any major changes to your original copy/brief.

 

Graphic Artists

We have a team of experienced graphic designers to help turn your ideas into printed reality. They're able to offer sensible advice that may prove to save you money and/or add more impact to your printed campaign. There's a wealth of creativity in their approach to graphic design, it's sometimes fun just to chat with them about what they can do for you. If you're stuck for an idea about how to promote something or are just fed up with your current graphics and literature why not give RM Phoenix a call and ask to speak with one of the designers. They're usually quite busy, but if they can't talk with you right away they'll call you back.

The front end pre-press artwork facilities are some of the most up-to-date available in the market place today. Typically with beefed up computers to handle large complicated graphics speedily and efficiently. Our team has at their disposal the the industry standard software ie. Quark, Freehand, Illustrator and Word etc. plus many others. If you have work saved in other software please give us a call to find out compatibility.

Our graphic designers and pre-press staff can easily convert artwork from more traditional methods. Feel free to provide us with pictures and/or line-art mechanicals that we can scan for you. Our scanning facilities are able to scan work well beyond the resolutions that are required for printing. This means you can be assured of quality reproductions of your photos and artwork.
