Print files

File format / colour profiles:

  • We recommend uploading the print file(s) as a print-ready PDF file.
    Colour profile for coated papers: ISO coatedV2 300%
    Colour profile for uncoated papers: PSO Uncoated ISO 12647 (ECI)
  • Other file formats: JPG or TIFF files with 300 dpi resolution.
  • If possible, upload multi-page artwork in one file with consecutive individual pages or as correctly imposed sheets. For single pages, please specify the page number in the file name.
  • Additional costs for conversion will apply when uploading open files (e.g. from Adobe InDesign or Microsoft Word). However, these costs are included in the total costs of the product. Before production, you will receive a print approval via e-mail.

Set up document:

  • Design the document at its original size with 2 mm bleed on all edges. More about bleed.
  • Produce multi-page documents as continuous single pages or correctly imposed sheets (e.g. 8+1, 2+7, 6+3, 4+5).
  • Optional crop marks should be positioned outside the print image.
  • Ensure fonts and images are embedded in the print file.

Images:

  • Images must maintain a minimum resolution of 300 dpi at a scaling of 100%.
  • For the positioning of text and important elements, a minimum distance of 5 mm from the edge of the printed image is recommended.

Colour mode:

  • Use the CMYK colour mode for both, the print file and the images included in it. Other colour modes such as RGB are automatically converted to CMYK, though some color shifts may occur. It's important to note that colours displayed on computer screens may differ from printed colors, as screens emit light, while printing applies colours to paper.

Please note …
Kindly be advised that in digital printing, a technology-related deviation in positioning with a tolerance of 0.5–1 mm should be taken into account You are responsible for compliance with these criteria. We are not obliged to check these (except for the "Extended data control" option). Complaints about the quality of the manufactured products are excluded in the event of non-compliance.
