| 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.  | | Colour Screen Tints | | If your artwork consists of large areas in single colour, we recommend to add some noise or slight texture to those areas in order to avoid visual bands. | | Rich Black | | To achieve solid, saturated black, use black composed of the following components: 33%C 33%M 33%Y 100%K. | | 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 | up to 2m²: 100-200 dpi
2-5m²: 50-100 dpi
5-20m²: 20-60 dpi
Don't increase resolution through resampling. | | Utility location | | Where one project contains multiple pieces, add a thin-line frame around each piece, and the distance between the pieces must be greater than 5mm. In the calculator’s window „Additional cutting for jobs pieces” enter the number of pieces. | | White Colour | There are 3 check boxes in the Price Quote form:
