Instructions for this product:
(1) Data format
This is the size in which you must send us your file, whether in portrait or landscape format:1260 x 460 mm
The background or graphical elements which are to be trimmed should extend to the red margin.
(2) Final format
This is the size in which we will deliver your printed product:
1200 x 400 mm
This is the final format after we have folded 30 mm from the left- and right-hand edges and the top and bottom.
(1) Dateiformat
In dieser Größe mußt Du uns Deine Datei schicken (egal ob hoch oder quer):
1260 x 460 mm
Dein Hintergrund oder grafische Elemente die angeschnitten werden sollten bis zum roten Rand gehen, wir schneiden dann 3 mm davon ab. Das musst Du bei Deiner Gestaltung beachten!
(2) Endformat
In dieser Größe bekommst Du Deine Drucksachen geliefert.
1200 x 400 mm
Das ist das Endformt nachdem wir links, rechts, oben und unten 30 mm abgeschnitten haben.
Bleed 30 mm (3 cm!!!)
This margin is absolutely essential in order to compensate the trimming tolerance. The margin will not be cut off on canvas prints. It will be stretched around the frame and will ensure that no white canvas appears on the finished print. It is mandatory that background images or areas which are to reach to the edge of the page of your print extend to within this 30 mm (3c m)margin, thus ensuring that no thin white margin will be left after trimming. If you require an XXL frame we require 60 mm (6 cm) bleed per side.
Edge distance 20 mm
In addition, it must be noted that texts and important information are at least 20 mm away from the original or inner edge.
In most cases it does not look particularly attractive if the text is "stuck" so near to the edge.
Resolution
For digital prints a resolution of 200 dpi is adequate. In order to obtain optimum printing results, your printing data must have a resolution of at least 200 dpi (dots per inch). If your file is saved with a lower resolution a quality loss may result.
Colour settings
Please save your file with RGB colour settings only. You should therefore create your files in the RGB colour mode. This is necessary for all products printed digital (digital posters, banners roll up's...). If, however, we receive files with other colour settings, our system will automatically convert them to RGB. This may result in slight colour deviations which will not be accepted as complaints as we do not know the original colour you wished to have. If, from the start, your data are created in RGB and you access our ICC colour profile (available under downloads) the probable result will be simulated on your monitor. Your RGB files will automatically be converted to CMYKLCLM (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key = black, Light Cyan, Light Magenta) in our printing machine to ensure the bests possible quality.
ICC-Profile
For the best possible colour result ICC-profiles are essential. For offset printing (litho) the current ECI ICC-profiles (www.eci.org) are used. These you can find in the download area on our homepage. Colour profiles enable a correct simulation of colours according via your layout or graphic programme. Click on the button “Instructions” on our homepage for more information.
Fonts
For offset printing (litho) you should always use Postscript-fonts. TrueType fonts can cause problems when the printing plates are exposed. If TrueType fonts are required for any reason, they have to be converted to a vector, outline or curve (depending on the programme you use). This action converts the font into a vector so that the original font itself is no longer required.
File formats
Generally we prefer PDF files (version X-3:2002). Ideally you should send us a single page PDF. Alternatively you can send us EPS, JPEG or TIFF files. Adobe Photoshop users should always save their files as JPEG or TIFF. If a Photoshop PDF is required please use Acrobat Distiller to create the file. Please never save a PDF directly from Photoshop.
