Inkscape is a free software using vectors to design your files. 
The quality of printing for textes and curves is really better under an A2 format than a pixel based software like Photoshop. 

Therefore we encourage you to use this software for business cards, flyers or leaflets. However it is mandaroty to use it for the following products : 

• Lettering (Adhesive vinyle)
• Die-Cut (Cutting scheme)
• Embossing
• Pantones (Offset printing)
• "CutContour" cutting line for stickers, banners or rigid boards. 

Never forget to outline all textes before sending us you file(s) and link all images. 

Gimp is a free software for photo retouching. You can also download a CMYK module for a better control of the colours you will have in your file (CMYK mode is used on most of medias except wide format ones).

Same as Gimp, this tool is very nice for images retouching. However Pixlr doesn't use CMYK mode so it could create problems on bright colours when printing.
