Coloured paper (printing)
We do not provide printing on coloured paper. However, should you want a coloured background, it is possible to create this as a colour in the file.
Indoorpaper
This is poster paper which is printed using an oil-based ink. The print has a limited resistance to UV light and limited weather resistance.
The grain of the paper
For technical production reasons, we unfortunately cannot take into consideration the grain of the paper when placing your order. We therefore cannot always rule out the possibility, under certain circumstances, of slight opening when sheets are folded. Opening can be prevented by scoring papers weighing over 170g/qm.
Scoring and grooving
This is the impression of a linear indentation in paper, cardboard or board using scoring lines or scoring rollers. The material is just displaced and compressed. Scoring prevents the material splitting or breaking when doubled or folded. Please be aware: the grain of the paper cannot be taken into consideration when producing folded goods.
Maximum paper formats
We offer posters at DIN A0 at paper weights of 100g, 135g (gloss) and 115g on Poster paper and plots on DIN A 0 at paper weights of 115g (Poster paper) and 175g (Outdoor).
Plot
These are recommended for small numbers of items up to approx. 25 pieces. We offer Plots on Poster– and Indoorpaper.
Foil coating
We offer single sided foil laminating for postcards and double sided foil laminating for visiting cards.
Parallel fold/Special parallel fold
Special parallel fold is when the product is folded once in the middle. It is then processed again in a Special parallel fold. We can provide a z-fold of up to 8 pages; over 10 pages, leaflets are processed using a Special parallel fold.
Data
Bleed
Please create a 1 mm Bleed (3mm in the case of posters) on each side in addition to the trimmed size. Important information (such as e-mail adresses, telephone number etc.) should be placed with a spacing of at least 3mm from the edge (5mm in the case of posters and 7mm in the case of magazines). In the case of punched flyers, please allow 1,5 mm bleed. Create your data format so that it fits our standard data format.
Labelling data
JPG oder auch JPEG is a file format for compressed pixel images. The JPG format compresses image files so that they can be used on the Internet or for fast exchange of data. PDF - the Portable-Document-Format is a cross-platform file format for printable documents, which was developed by the company Adobe Systems. TIFF (Tagged-Image-File-Format) is a file format for saving image data. Together with Encapsulated Postscript, it is the most important format for the exchange of data in the pre-press phase. EPS - an Encapsulated-Postscript file, is a graphic file in the PostScript page description language, which meets the particular requirements needed to allow binding of a document.
