GENERAL PRINTING

Everyone has their own favourite printer, and then there are the standard choices like Vistaprint, Officeworks, Snap Printing - these places generally provide a quicker turnaround and recycled paper options. But if you want sustainable, eco-friendly printing, give yourself some extra time for printing and delivery.

SUSTAINABLE PRINTERS

• Sustainable Printing Australia
  Based in Melbourne. Their papers and printing are produced sustainably, using 100% recycled paper, sustainable stocks, eco inks and green electricity.

HOW TO CREATE
​PRINT-READY FILES

Thanks to Sustainable Printing Australia for providing the following resource links on their website. They are pretty helpful, so we thought we'd share them!

Below are some online tutorials about creating print-ready PDF files with bleed and trim marks in 4 different programs: 

• Indesign - by Adobe - subscription
• Illustrator - by Adobe - subscription
• Canva - Free & by subscription for Pro version
  If you are using the free version, you can only save your print quality PDF as RGB (the colour system for online). Because the file needs to be changed to CMYK for printing, you may get some colour variations.
• Photoshop - by Adobe - subscription

​CMYK is the color mode intended for printing with ink, such as business card designs. RGB is the color mode intended for screen displays.
