| Printing technology | Arizona 360 GT is equipped with an option of white colour print, which can be used as an independent colour
or as a necessary background to enable real colours to be achieved, when applying CMYK overprint on colour and transparent media.
Depending on the selected printing option, prepare your artwork as follows: | | Arizona 360 GT - CMYK + White | Your artwork should consist of two pages:
- The first page with a colour artwork in CMYK.
PLEASE NOTE: All elements on this page composed of CMYK – 0,0,0,0 (i.e. 'WHITE') or without an assigned colour will remain unprinted.
- The second page with an artwork for white print. Prepare your artwork as 100% Black (K 100) without other components (meaning 'Print WHITE here').
Order of printed layers:
- Overprint of transparent (clear) non-self-adhesive media is done as a mirror image (prepared by the operator).
Order: Viewer → Transparent medium → CMYK → White
- Overprint of transparent (clear) self-adhesive films is done without the mirror image effect.
Order: Viewer → CMYK → White → Film → Glue
If a different layer order is required, please provide clear instructions in the comments section.
For example: a window pane sticker applied from the inside.
Please write: Viewer (window pane) ˃ Glue ˃ Film ˃ CMYK ˃ White – Mirror image | | White Only | Overprint of colour media only.
Preparation: Prepare white as 100% Black (K 100) without additional components
(meaning 'Print WHITE here').
White tonal gradations are not allowed due to low accuracy of the proportional rendering of white colour.
For text printed in White Only technology, minimum 10-point font size is recommended. |

| Graphics | | Colour Model | Prepare your artwork in CMYK model (except for artwork with additional colour). If your artwork contains halftone images (textures, photos), convert it also to CMYK.
Using different colour spaces or colour models in one document (e.g. CMYK and RGB) leads to incorrect colour rendering and is not covered by warranty.  | | Rich Black | | To achieve a full, dark black, use a black color composed of 33%C 33%M 33%Y 100%K. For printing on backlit materials, use 60%C 55%M 50%Y 100%K. | | Tone Gradation | Do not set your tonal range for values smaller than 5%.
Do not use tonal gradation for white colour. | | Optimum Resolution | 150 – 300 dpi
Don't increase resolution through resampling. |

- convert all texts to curves / paths,
w przypadku skomplikowanych projektów zawierających wiele warstw, nachodzące na siebie grafiki, cienie, przezroczystości itp. należy, na ile jest to możliwe, spłaszczyć do jednego obrazu tła, zachowując w postaci wektorowej jedynie teksty, loga, linie i inne istotne elementy projektu.
- supply your artwork with a mock-up (200-300kB JPG file) so we can check correctness of a delivered file.
If your artwork consists of more than one page, save all pages as a single file. If the selected format does not allow this, save individual pages in separate files with appropriate names (e.g.: artwork_face.tiff, artwork_face_white.tiff, artwork_back.tiff, artwork_back_white.tiff |
