Artwork Specification

At Target Transfers, we strive to provide our customers with the best quality product possible, no matter what the order. To make sure that our custom print transfers have the perfect finish, we need to make sure that the artwork that we are using is fit for purpose. Below is a list of all of our custom print transfer processes, detailing what type of file we require to be able to replicate it accurately and to fulfil your need. Unfortunately, if it does not fit these criteria, then we will either not be able to print the transfers, or an artwork charge will be incurred. If you have any further queries about artwork, then please feel free to contact your account manager or call 01376 326351.
