Advice on data handling for digital and screen printing

Software

Please use appropriate desktop publishing software such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe InDesign, etc.
Office programs such as Word or PowerPoint are not suitable for creating high-quality print data! Printing office data is normally possible only with certain restrictions, subsequent corrections and substantial efforts (EXTRAcosts).


Document format

Creating a ratio of 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 or 1:10


Bleed

- if required -
create images outside of the document format (scale of 1:1) to -3 mm or -5 mm (see also the relevant product data sheets)

Document content

Font / text
convert to outlines, or which is embedded into PDF files

 

Images

Send any embedded images or positioned / linked images, in the image format: eps, tif, jpg maximum resolution of 1:1 = 300 dpi from 120 dpi (min. 72 dpi) to 240 dpi at 1:2 = 1:4 = 1:10 = 480 dpi and 1200 dpi


File format

We prefer printable PDF data via PDF/X1a as default
Other possible file formats are: eps, ai, tif, jpg (not jpeg or gif)
Please convert Indesign files into a PDF file. Should it not be possible to avoid the use of InDesign files, then we reserve the right to charge any relevant additional fees.


Colours

Screen prints
For special colours, please send us your data with the relevant colour details (PMS, HKS, RAL)

 
Digital printing
Please provide data in CMYK and not in RGB format
Special colours can be simulated in digital print! A 100% match is not possible.
One approach is possible - however you should provide us with this as part of a proof. Any further information can be discussed with your sales representative.
Dark black areas can be maintained only via digital printing for black colour construction using the four process colours (C 50 / M 50 / Y 50 / Y 100).

Monitoring colours
Upon request, we can produce an additional proof for monitoring colours.
