Using alternative paper is one of the biggest causes of production issues.
- It will slow down the scanning process significantly which will delay your order.
- We will need to crop it more, which means it is likely parts of the art is cut off – which can lead to upset students & parents.
- Anything over A4 will be significantly delayed in scanning: if you have 30 classrooms, and 29 use our art paper and 1 uses oversized (for example A3) paper, the entire school will be delayed in scanning.
- Even a school that arrives after yours, will be scanned first. We need to process oversized art last in order to meet our lead times.
Recommendation: please, please, please use our art paper.
Note: If you have some A3 artwork, but everything else is on our art paper – one option that you can do to speed this process up is scan or photograph it at the school – and supply the art digitally. Please review the risk guidelines on how to supply files digitally, and then you can upload the digital files directly to our website against the correct student.
