| General Information | | Prepare separate artwork for sheet graphics and for edge printing.
Both types of print (offset print on sheets and UV print on the edge) are allowed to bleed. When designing graphics for notepad sheets, please remember that graphics extended to bleed will impact the appearance of the pile edge. If 'Notepad with sheet and edge printing' is selected, we recommend making the offset print on sheets (extended to bleed) light/lighter in colour than important elements printed on the edge to achieve the right contrast. If in doubt, the safest solution is to prepare artwork that does not extend to bleed on the edge opposite the glued spine (i.e. the edge to be printed).
Graphic artwork for sheets must be prepared according to the instructions for preparing colour notepads: see Preparing File.
Graphic artwork for edge printing must be prepared according to the instructions for UV print on Mimaki UJF-7151: see Preparing File.
Final trim sizes: for a notepad of 400 sheets – 95 mm x 56 mm; for a notepad of 250 sheets – 95 mm x 35 mm. To achieve full bleed size, add 2 mm on each side. The background may be extended to bleed.

| | 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. |
