Overview
Artwork Guidelines
PrismaFLOOR Foil has a unique non-skid surface and aluminium based substrate. This material, teamed with a specially formulated adhesive, combines to stand up to harsh weather conditions. When installed as directed, PrismaFLOOR Foil can last for months outdoors and offers a slip rating of R12.
The foil-based composition on PrismaFLOOR Foil means it is malleable and conformable around brickwork, paving slab and other flooring textures. Often, conformable floor graphics need to be fitted using a heating tool to make the substrate soft enough to conform to a shape, but the highly adhesive foil is similar to a thick kitchen tin foil. This means that it can fitted without heating tools and professional installers. However, you can rest assured, we are more than happy to install your PrismaFLOOR foil is you’d rather leave it to our team of qualified operatives. This is particularly useful if your floor graphic is on the large size.
This product contains no PVC and can be recycled along with other aluminium products, so it’s better for the environment too.
The unique selling point for this award-winning media is that is can be applied without professional installation or heating tools. (We are more than happy to arrange for our expert fitting team to apply your PrismaFLOOR Foil if you’d prefer and we would recommend it for large or tiled graphics). It can be cut to shape with plotter-cutters or die-cutters and even scissors, before you apply it using a simple rubber roller or by hand.
Bleed - Please supply artwork with 10mm bleed
Colour - Please supply your artwork in CMYK and make sure that any critical colours are set up as Pantone spot colours. Provide a CMYK equivalent for any other special colours.
File Type - We prefer print-ready PDFs but we also accept artwork files supplied as Adobe Photoshop PSD, Illustrator AI/EPS and Indesign INDD if they’re supplied with fonts and links.
Fonts - Please ‘path’ your fonts. A PDF compression won’t embed them, so we kindly ask that you create outlines (path) your fonts or send the font files with the artwork.
Links - If you are supplying artwork in a format other than a PDF, please include all linked images and font files.
Pixels Per Inch - DPI determines the resolution (detail) of the artwork. Images with a low DPI can look blurry or pixelated when they’re printed. We prefer to work with a minimum of 300dpi.
Trim - There’s no need to add trim marks because our software can detect the art-board without them. If your artwork has a cutter, label the cutter using a spot colour called ‘CutContour’.
