Every order gets a free artwork check and a proof within the hour. When a file needs changing, the studio does it for a fixed price per file, £15 + VAT and up, with a new proof back within the hour.
Pick the service that matches what your file needs. Our check recommends one for you. Every price is per artwork file, ex VAT, with the proof back within the hour of payment.

How the charging works
Simple rules, the same for every customer and every order.
Priced per file, not per order
Each artwork file is priced on its own, so a one-file order pays once. A second side supplied as a separate file is a second file. On a rebuild, a second side or a third round of changes is quoted before we start.
Prices are ex VAT; VAT at 20% is added
Artwork work is a service, so it carries VAT at the standard rate even when the printing itself is zero-rated, such as leaflets and booklets. The total with VAT is shown before you pay.
Paid first, proof back within the hour
Work starts when your payment lands and the new proof is due within the hour, counted in studio hours (9am to 6pm, Monday to Friday). A payment after closing or at the weekend starts from the next working morning.
Revision rounds are included
Make it fit includes one round; Fix the content includes one round; Rebuild the artwork includes 2 rounds. If you need more, our team can add an extra revision round for £10.00 + VAT.
Free when the mistake was ours
If a proof or correction of ours introduced the problem, the fix is on us. Artwork can also be included in trade and account terms or agreed on a quote, and our team may waive a charge at their discretion.
Studio work can be part of your quote
When a quote needs studio work first, our team adds the studio time to the quote with the reason, the hours and the price, less any discount they apply. Nothing starts until you approve the studio work. Once approved, the studio time is payable: it is added to your order and paid with it when the quote goes live. If you approve the studio work and later do not go ahead with the order, the studio time done during the quote remains payable on its own.
Design from scratch is quoted
A new design, or a rework beyond the services above, is priced on the quote form. Tell us the product, size and quantity, attach anything you have, and we reply with a priced quote within 2 working hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm).
Keep your delivery date
Production is scheduled from your approval, not from your order. Approve the proof, including any corrected proof from the studio, by 2.30pm on a working day to keep the delivery date you chose at checkout. A proof approved after the cut-off is printed on the next working day. We work and deliver Monday to Friday.
No. Every file is checked and proofed free of charge within the hour of ordering, and you can check a file free before you order at https://www.presswift.com/free-artwork-check. You only pay if you ask the studio to change the file itself.
What happens if my file fails the check?
You get the result in plain words with a preview. If the only problem is bleed, you can print it as supplied free of charge, cut to size or with a white border, with a preview of each. For anything else you can upload a corrected file, or choose a fixed-price service and we make the change for you.
How much does an artwork fix cost?
Make it fit is £15.00 + VAT per file, Fix the content is £30.00 + VAT per file, Rebuild the artwork is from £60.00 + VAT per file. VAT at 20% is added to every artwork service.
How quickly do I get the corrected proof?
Within the hour of payment, counted in studio hours (9am to 6pm, Monday to Friday). A payment after closing or at the weekend starts from the next working morning, and we email you the exact time your proof is due.
Will an artwork fix delay my delivery?
Not if you approve the new proof by 2.30pm on a working day. Production is scheduled from your approval, so a proof approved after the cut-off is printed on the next working day.
What counts as one file?
Each artwork file you upload. A front and a back supplied as two files are two files; a two-page PDF is one file. On a rebuild, a second side or a third round of changes is quoted before we start.
Which service do I need?
Our check recommends one. Make it fit: We re-lay your file out to the size you ordered so nothing is cut off. Fix the content: Everything in Make it fit, plus the wording and images you tell us to change. Rebuild the artwork: We rebuild the file so it prints sharp: vector logos, retyped text, clean layout.
Can studio work be included in my quote?
Yes. When a quote needs studio work first, our team adds the studio time to the quote with the reason and the price, and you approve it on your quote page. Nothing starts until you approve the studio work. Once approved, the studio time is payable: it is added to your order and paid with it when the quote goes live. If you approve the studio work and later do not go ahead with the order, the studio time done during the quote remains payable on its own.
Can you design something from scratch?
Yes. Describe the job on the quote form, attach anything you already have, and we reply with a priced quote within 2 working hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm).
What if the problem was your mistake?
Then the fix is free. Use the link on your proof page to tell us, and we put it right at no charge.
