A PDF artwork template for Twist FlexiHeight graphic panels, for joining a 2250mm panel to a 2700mm one.
PDF artwork template
This PDF file provides a graphic template for a Twist FlexiHeight graphic panel (joining a 2250mm Twist panel to a 2700mm Twist panel). Note that these dimensions are for the final visible graphic area for your artwork, but please also allow for bleed on all four sides so that when the panel is guillotined, there are no issues with ink cracking along the edge or alignment problems. The bleed areas are also indicated on the template.
Since a FlexiHeight panel is always used to join two other Twist panels, please ensure that you send the artwork as a spread rather than individual files for each graphic panel. You only need to add bleed around the outside of the spread, not each panel, and our output software automatically calculates and applies the bleed for the edges of the internal joins.
The PDF is intended for artwork designers using any software other than InDesign. If you are using InDesign, please download the InDesign template files instead. Please also take a moment to download and peruse our large format print guidelines.
Dimensions: the quarter rule
When working with large format graphics, it is possible to download, open, amend, save, output and rip the artwork files at full size, full resolution. However, the huge file size of this artwork would significantly slow down all of these processes. So we have optimised our workflows to use artwork set up at a quarter of its final output size, at a resolution of 300dpi, giving much smaller files without noticeably reducing the output quality.
So for clarity, the artwork you set up should have the following dimensions:
- Twist FlexiHeight graphic panel width (550mm):
Artwork width: 137.5mm - Twist FlexiHeight graphic panel edge heights (2250mm and 2700mm):
Artwork edge heights: 562.5mm and 675mm respectively - Bleed (all panel sizes):
12mm on the panel: 3mm on the artwork
