| Sizes | | Final Trim Size | | Available sizes: A4 210 x 297 mm, A5 148 x 210 mm, A6 105 x 148 mm. | | Full Bleed Size | | This is the size (in millimeters) of the file being prepared. - In this case artwork size is the same as job size because no bleed is needed.
| | Bleed | In this way of job preparation you cannot print note pads with graphics touching the edges of the page. Both background and all design elements have to be set at least 3mm from the edge of the paper, leaving white margin.

| | Additional Information | When saving to a PDF file, set the graphics to high resolution. Save your PDF files as PDF/X, PDF/X-1a or PDF 1.3 (Acrobat 4.0.)
If you have text in your artwork please remember to convert it to curves / paths or attach used fonts to your file (refers only to PDF files).
Don't convert texts to bitmaps!!!
If your artwork consists of more than one page, please save all pages in a single file. If the chosen file format does not allow for saving all pages in one file, please save them in two separate files named face and reverse. (projekt_awers.tiff, projekt_rewers.tiff)
In case of preparing separate files for finishing, please include in their name information, which sides concern.
If you send more than one file, please send them in ZIP format if possible.
In case of TIFF files please save them as single layer files, with no additional channels. For complex projects with multiple layers, overlapping graphics, shadows, transparencies etc., as far as possible, flatten to a single background image, retaining texts, logos, lines and other important elements of the project in the vector form only. In particular, this problem concerns CorelDRAW X4, where in extreme cases, despite a good-looking PDF file, the printout may contains errors. |
