Our Equest cards are printed on a high white, smooth uncoated board which matches our Equest Letterheadings, Equest Compliment Slips, Equest Envelopes and is identical to the board which we use for our Equest Business Cards. Their uncoated surface is much more receptive to ballpoint pen ink than a coated sheet such as the silk/matt art used for our Handouts and Postcards.

Artwork and PDF requirements

• If any print reaches the edge of your finished job, please add 3mm bleed to all sides of your artwork
• We need a "quiet area" to ensure nothing important is too near to the edge of the finished item; so please leave a 5mm inner margin for anything other than backgrounds
• Supply files to us in CMYK, not RGB please
• Image resolution should be 300dpi or more
• Please embed fonts or convert all of your text to shapes
