Colour mode:
Please always supply your job files in CMYK mode. Colours created in RGB mode are generally never the same as colours in CMYK mode. Colour saturation should never exceed 240% in total otherwise faulty printing will result. 100% Black (K), 50% Cyan (C) and 50% Magenta (M) is sufficient for a deep black. Colour saturation should be at least 15%.

Size and bleed:
Please create an additional margin of 1mm to the final trimmed size on each side (3mm in the case of posters). Important lettering, graphics and information should be placed at least 3mm (5mm in the case of posters, 7mm for magazines) inside the trimmed size. Create your data format so that it fits our standard data format. Please do not use fold and/or cut marks. Would you like a template? We have one available for Download. For double-sided products please send two separate PDFs in a .ZIP or .RAR file & CLEARLY label if which is front/outside and back/inside.

Format:
We open our files using the default 'Media Frame'. Please make sure this option is not altered when you save your files.
Please upload your artwork in either .AI, .PSD, .JPEG, .TIFF or .PDF format (according standard PDF/X-1a:2001 + colour profile "ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)*")
Please send your data as .AI, .PSD, .JPEG, .TIFF or .PDF only (according to the standard PDF/X-1a:2001).
Your print data should have a resolution of at least 300dpi, otherwise there may be a loss of quality in the print result. For posters, 240dpi is sufficient.
Please convert all text into paths in the case of vector graphics.
Please create pixel images using at least 240dpi.
Save all print data in CMYK format.
In the case of orders that contain several files (e.g. front and back page), please save the individual files in the same format and name them clearly.
In the case of magazines, please send us the pages as individual files. Please name these clearly so that we can correctly allocate them in the magazine.
Please upload your files exactly how you would like to have them printed!
