| Report File for Plastic A4 Pocket Template |
| PLEASE NOTE!
The template serves only as a pattern for designing your own business card. Before saving your artwork please remove the template. Otherwise they will be printed together!
Graphics which should not touch the edge of the page has to be set at least ...mm from this edge. 3 mm.
| | Final Trim Size | | Final trim size – see the template – marked with red line. | | Full Bleed Size | | See blue outline on the template (to download above). | | Bleed | | Background of your artwork and all design elements which touch the edges of the page have to be extended by 2mm (up to blue line on the template). |
|
| 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.
When defining your own CMYK colours, the total tonal value at one point should not exceed 300% (for one-side coated cards, 200% should not be exceeded on the uncoated side, and, in particular, placing saturated solids in the same place on the face and back of the printed piece should be avoided). If this parameter is exceeded, no warranty claims shall be accepted. (The above mentioned rule means, for example, that black cannot consist of four 100% components.)
For printed materials to be laminated, the total tonal value at one point should not exceed 250%. | | Rich Black | | In order to obtain rich saturated black use 33%C 33%M 33%Y 100%K. | | Gray Solid | | If you want the background to be grey, compose it of the 'K' component only, without using the remaining 'CMY' colours. | | Tone Gradation | Do not set your tonal range for values smaller than 5%.
To avoid visual bands, add some noise to your gradation.  | | Optimum Resolution | | Optimum resolution for bitmaps (graphics, photos) is 300dpi.
| | Layout | Please set texts and any important information (graphics, photos) at least 3mm from the edge of a page (in actual trim size) and from scores for folding.
Turn the artwork by 90 degrees to check if bitmaps rotate correctly.
Set all texts on a separate top layer.
In case of saving your artwork as CDR file, please group all the objects and convert all fonts to curves/paths.
In your file please define your artwork size in accordance with above mentioned size and place your artwork centrally on a page.
If you save as EPS file the artwork which has no background (white), please frame it to above mentioned size.
Due to cutting tolerance some slight movements in relation to artwork edges may occur.
For that reason we recommend to avoid those kinds of framing where such distortions could be visible.
Trimming and scoring tolerance is ±2 mm. Therefore, you should avoid creating a visible boundary between the front- and backside artwork on the scoring line (spine).
All pages in the file should have been done in the same print orientation.
By default utilities are reversed "Head to Head". |

Please note: In case of INDESIGN software, we accept only PostScript files. Otherwise, please use the Comment section to inform us: "Attention: InDesign file. Convert to PS, please". PDF, EPS, PRN
Accepted: CDR, TIFF, JPG (unrecommended).
We are adding the extra fee 3,5 pln, for the preparation of the pdf file to orders with jpg files.

| | 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. |
|
| Additional Information | | | Please keep in mind that due to differences in printing technology and colour presentation, some differences in colours may occur also when compared to inkjet printouts or colours displayed on a computer screen. |
