| File Type | JPEG or TIF |
| DPI | We suggest artworks to be supplied for printing 300DPI. Any lower DPI will reduce print quality. Likewise, if you request Melco staff to enlarge your artwork, this will reduce print quality and DPI. If you have instructed Melco staff to print a lower DPI or enlarge an artwork we take no responsibility for loss of print quality. |
| Colour Profile | Preferred colour profile is CMYK. If you only have a RGB file we can print it, but the colours may vary. |
| Scale of Artwork | Artwork is to be supplied at the correct scale. We will print the artwork at 100% of it's actual size. |
| Copyright Artwork | We will not print any licensed artworks due to copyright laws. Examples are Disney, Barbie, Bluey etc. By placing an order with Melco Fabrics, you confirm that the correct licensing is held to reproduce the artwork. |
| Admin Fee | If your artwork is emailed to us instead of uploading it to the custom printing section on the website a $40 admin fee will be applied to your order. See notes below. |
| Adjustment Fee | If your artwork is requiring adjustments in order to be printed fees will apply and be charged accordingly depending on what is required. |
| Fabric bases | Fabric bases will print colours differently. We do suggest to order a test swatch of your design prior to printing large amounts. Should you not order a test swatch first, and the colours are not as you expected, no responsibility will be taken by Melco Fabrics, we do not adjust the colour of your artwork and print it as supplied. |
At Melco Fabrics, we pride ourselves on offering exceptional quality and service. To maintain our high standards, we have a standard process for submitting custom print files. We recommend using our user-friendly file submission method available on our website, which ensures a smooth experience for both you and us.
We understand that occasionally customers may choose to submit their custom print files via email. Please be aware that a $40 administrative fee will apply to custom print files submitted via email. This fee helps us cover the additional time and resources required for processing email submissions, which deviate from our standard production process.
We do always suggest to order a sample swatch of your design prior to metreage to ensure no changes are required.
