Artwork

Finished artwork is an all inclusive term for the finished, supplied documents or digital files that are supplied to pre-press or for print. Traditionally finished artwork would have been pasted up boards that were ready for photographing to make films and printing plates. It was known as 'camera ready artwork'.

Nowadays, finished artwork would generally refer to digitally supplied documents that are ready to be output to film, printing plates or digital output. This is often supplied as a 'fully formatted disk'. Although, in a modern production workflow, artwork is just as likely to be supplied via an ISDN link, ftp, or by email.
