Checklist print files

These are our specifications for print files:

print file templates

business/ company card 85 x 55 mm landscape format

business/ company card 55 x 85 mm portrait format

stationery/ letterhead

Images and graphic resolutions

Pictures, images and graphics: 250 dpi
Greyscales and colour images: 250 dpi
Line artwork (e.g. texts in a small font size and drawings): 1.200 dpi

document colours

Prepare your files using CMYK as the colour mode, not RGB.
Avoid using 4c for black text; instead, set the font colour to 100% K.
When using special colours (Pantone or HKS), enter the desired values in the colour channel.

File size and trim

Create your files in their final trim size.
To allow leeway for cutting differences in production, always add trim allowance to the size ordered.
Standard trim allowance: 2 mm

safety margin

Keep all contents at least 3 mm away from the edge of the finished size.
Make sure colours, background pictures and layouts extend into the bleed area so as to avoid leaving white lines as a result of cutting tolerances.

fonts

Convert fonts to paths or embed them in the document to avoid tracking and printing problems.
Make sure there is sufficient contrast between background and font colours.

Line weights

Lines should be at least 0.22 pt.
Lines that are too thin are automatically increased to a printable weight. (Exception: lines set to precisely 0 pt. We cannot guarantee that the weight of these lines will be automatically inreased.)
Do not use borders to frame the whole page. They can be partialy cut, due to the mechanical cutting tolerance and can effect the appearance of the final product.
