Page orientation

All pages must always have the same alignment. In relation to this please mind that our printing sheets are worked and turned and not tumble-turned. 

Portrait: portrait format 
Landscape: landscape format

Acrobat

Software developed by Adobe in order to make PDF files available for the exchange of electronic documents irrespective of the platform used. Thanks to the Acrobat Module Distiller, PostScript files can be converted into PDF. Before that, the PostScript files are created using a printer driver. Another way of creating a PDF would be to export the data directly into the application program.

Poster paper

This kind of paper (115 gsm) is available to you when ordering a poster. The back of the paper is blue and it is especially suitable for outdoor use because it is light-fast and weatherproof.

Resolution

Defines the number of picture elements as well as the quality of reproduction of scanners, digital cameras, screens, printers, and exposure devices. Common units of measurement are: dpi (dots per inch), lpi (lines per inch), pixel per cm, and L/cm (lines per cm). As for digital cameras, resolution is given in mega pixels.

Imposition

The arrangement of the individual pages of a printed product on the press sheets, making optimal use of the paper format of the printing press. The usual numbers of pages are 4, 8, 16 or 32 pages per press sheet. On arranging the pages, post-press processing, such as folding, trimming, binding, or adhesive binding, has to be taken into consideration.

Knockout

Knockout means that images and text elements are arranged in such a way that the area of the foreground colour is left blank in the background image. Normally, knockout requires trapping. The opposite method of knockout would be overprinting.

Basic-Filecheck

Free check of your data for a general printing usability. You will receive our file check feedback within 6 hours after the receipt of your data. Please note that your print data will not be checked for quality. For example, your data will not be checked for: - Resolution - Trimming - Objects in trim area - Transparencies - Bitmap-fonts - Folding measures - Color mode However, if errors - restricting the printing - are found, we offer you two possibilities: a) Re-delivery of corrected data b) Approval for printing; this means you will have your artwork printed without further amendments (subject to type of error)

Bleed

Please create your print file with the required bleed on each side due to be cut. This is the area which is defined beyond the page size. With this you can avoid white areas, which can arise from the trimming and die-cut. Please fill out the bleed with the items or background information located at the margin. To ensure certain elements and text are not cut off, these must be placed at a distance from the cutting edge, as per our requirements. For more information on the required bleed and edge distance, please see the individual products' data sheets.

Art paper

This paper stock is available on 115 gsm, 135 gsm, 170 gsm, 250 gsm, 350 gsm  and 400 gsm - as either glossy or semi-glossy - when you place the order. It is a high quality and double varnished paper. Depending on the machine processing, it can be coated with a dispersion varnish after printing. For this reason we cannot guarantee it can be subsequently written or printed on.

Short Grain

Indicates how the paper fibres run in sheet paper. During the process of paper production, sheets are cut from a paper roll. The fibres of short-grain paper run parallel to the short edge of the sheet paper. This information is important for printing and processing because the grain direction influences the degree of distortion and the stiffness of the paper.

Bundling

Need to bundle your order to make your logistics and distribution processes easier? Many of our products give you the option of bundling 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 items, wrapped in transparent film.

Lamination (Cellophane coating)/Special films

Cellophane coating involves applying a wafer-thin film to the print product. This not only refines your products, but also makes them more robust and thus more durable. Depending on customer requirements, this film is then given a glossy or matt effect. You can also choose a special matt film with a velvety or linen-like surface. 
 
The following products can be ordered with cellophane coating: Flyers, postcards, posters, calendars, business cards, brochures (jacket), magazines (jacket), ring binders, folders and door hangers.

Chromo board

This paper stock is available on 300 gsm for the products postcard and presentation folder. It is really suitable for postcards, as the back side is writable. In addition has this paper stock a high volume.

CMYK

A device-dependent colour space used in printing. Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are the primary colours of subtractive colour reproduction. Black has to be added because a combination of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow does not produce a pure black colour.

CMYK mode

Please send your data in CMYK mode only. We take no responsibility for errors in printing due to RGB data.

Data format

Individual elements of a page or the entire printing file are digitally stored in a certain data format. The method of coding defines the structure of the data, and varies depending on the data format used. The structures have to comply with certain specifications, thus enabling computers and programs to read and process the data during prepress. Common data formats of prepress are TIFF, EPS and PDF.

Data check

We offer you 2 ways of FileCheck - a BasisCheck and a PremiumCheck.

BasisCheck 
Free check of your data for a general printing usability. You will receive our file check feedback within 6 hours after the receipt of your data. Please note that your print data will not be checked for quality.
For example, your data will not be checked for: 
- Resolution 
- Trimming 
- Objects in trim area 
- Transparencies 
- Bitmap-fonts 
- Folding measures 
- Color mode
However, if errors - restricting the printing - are found, we offer you two possibilities: 
a) Re-delivery of corrected data 
b) Approval for printing; this means you will have your artwork printed without further amendments (subject to type of error)
PremiumCheck 
This service offers you a personal and comprehensive check for the quality of your print data and a file check feedback within 3 hours.
 
Your print data is checked based on the following criteria:
 
- Data matches your order (page format, number of pages, colour space, special colours) 
- General useability (minimum size, file type, password, corrupt data, export errors, objects outside the printing area, RGB) 
- Line thickness (min. 0.25 mm) 
- Colour mode (CMYK, special colours excepted) 
- Colour channel layout 
- Page orientation/layout 
- Overprinted elements 
- (Embedded) text 
- Printable comments 
- Layers 
- Data quality 
- Bleed (2 mm) 
- Setup (individual pages; magazine covers as double pages) 
- Resolution (min. 300 dpi; A1 and A0: 150 dpi) 
- Folding methods 
- Displacement 
- Transparency 
- Objects in the bleed 1.5 mm from the cutting edge 
- Printing area correct 
- Stamping requirements 
 If errors - affecting the print result in a negative way - are found, we offer you three possibilities: 
a) Re-delivery of corrected data 
b) Processing of your data by our team (subject to type of error) 
c) Approval for printing; this means you will have your artwork printed without further amendments (subject to type of error)

Digital Proof

Proof that is created by digital systems for approval before the actual print run. Digital proof systems are colour printers usually working on the basis of thermal sublimation, thermal transfer, colour laser technology or inkjet technology. The proof shall resemble the final print as closely as possible. Unlike the digital proof, an analogue proof system (Cromalin, Matchprint) requires films to produce a proof.

Dispersion varnish

An additional layer of varnish (water-based coating) on print products which improves material properties, e.g. slip resistance, abrasion resistance, and formation of a slightly water-repellent surface. The varnish is applied to the paper later on. Paper which has been given this coating cannot be written on with conventional pens, nor can it be printed using an ink-jet/laser printer. Our offset paper, recycled paper, poster paper and the back of chromo board are not coated. 
 
Further refining options include cellophane coating, UV varnish, UV spot varnish, relief varnish, blind embossing, hot foil flat embossing and hot foil relief embossing.

dpi (dots per inch)

A measurement of resolution which indicates the number of dots per unit of length. An exposure device with a resolution of 2540 dpi exposes 2540 dots on a length of 1 inch. This equals approximately 1000 dots per cm.

Levels

Your document should always be reduced to one background level.

Premium Paper

We offer 4 different types of Premium paper, each in 2 grammages. This paper is offset paper with exclusive properties ideal for high-quality business stationery. They can be reprinted and written on, but produce a lower quality than coated art paper when printing elements such as coloured areas and images.
 
The Premium Chamois paper has a warm natural colour (creamy white). 
Our Premium Bright White Paper is an extra white paper with a very smooth, silky surface. 
The Premium Ribbed and Premium Linen paper are classified as structural paper. Their surface is either ribbed or features a linen structure. Premium Ribbed is cream-colored and Premium Linen is white. 
These types of paper are offered for the following products: 
Letterheads, flyers, calendars, compliment slips, envelopes, postcards and business cards.

Blind embossing

Blind or relief embossing accentuates individual motifs, logos, decorations or lettering in a three-dimensional manner. The product is shaped in the relevant areas, i.e. embossed or infilled, giving it an additional haptic effect. 
 
When preparing the printing data, the elements due to be embossed must be created as a separate colour channel labelled accordingly, e.g. "embossing". These areas must be set to overprinting and a colour application of 100% black. It is important you create the special colour channel as a vector. A raster image cannot be used.

Embedded fonts

Please embed all fonts or convert them into paths, as they could be replaced or could disappear otherwise.

Export

Conversion and storage of text or image data from their original format into another format which is to be read by certain application programs. Thus, data can be used by different programs.

Sewn binding

Sewn binding uses book-binding twine to stitch the printed sheets into individual magazines once folded. These are then sealed to the spine with a layer of glue. This type of binding can be applied for both paperbacks and hardcovers. Books with sewn binding are particularly suitable for frequent use, and can be opened out flat.

Folding measures

Please create your flyer according to the factsheet of the product you have chosen on the calculation page. Dimensions other than those listed by us are not available.

Colour application

The sum of all the 4 process colour values (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) equals the total colour application, where the maximum colour application should not exceed 270%. Otherwise, we will reduce it, which may result in colour variation. The minimum color application should not be less than 7%

If you order your product 4/4-coloured, please use exclusively the CMYK colour mode. Create your file in monotone, then you can also use grey scale. When there is a separation of colour channels, it is necessary to undo this in your printing data.

The possible tonal value ranges from 3% to 97% coverage. Watermarks require 3% to 5% single colour application. 

The colours used in coloured backgrounds, particularly on brochures, may vary when printed, which is why we recommend creating these areas as special colours. Black or grey areas should only consist of the process colour Black where possible. A deep black is achieved by creating areas with 100% Black and 35% Cyan.

Colour mode

Colour Profile

Also called ICC profile. Colour profiles are used by colour management systems to control colour reproduction. A profile describes the quality of colour reproduction of a certain device (scanner, monitor, proof) or a printing press. The profile compares the device-dependent colour values (e.g. RGB for scanners) with the device-independent colour values (e.g. CIELAB) in tabular form. Computers will only accurately reflect print colour if the monitor has been calibrated beforehand.

Free form

Need an unusual shape or striking exterior for your advertising or brand? Free forms enable you to impress customers with original ideas. Squares are the norm; but your advertisement is totally unique, and we'll help you create it.For free-form orders, create a vector path in your printing data, showing the cutting line. Give this path a spot colour, name the special colour "cutting line", and set it to "Overprint".Free forms are available for the following products:

Signboard

Coated paper

Here, a layer consisting essentially of kaolin is applied immediately after paper manufacture. This layer largely prevents the ink from penetrating the paper felt, so that fine screen dots appear sharper and are reproduced more precisely than with uncoated papers. Coated papers can therefore be printed better and in higher quality. Because of their high-grade properties and quality, these papers are also known as art or picture papers. Coated papers are available with glossy and matt surfaces. A better printing result is achieved with glossy coated paper. Matt-coated papers, on the other hand, do not reflect, which has a positive effect especially when viewing and reading the contents.

Graphic design program

We recommend graphics programmes such as Adobe Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, QuarkExpress, Freehand, Corel Draw etc.. Word, Paint or Publisher are not recommended.

Grammage & paper thickness

A paper's weight is defined as the weight per square metre of this paper. It is measured in grams per square metre (gsm), known as grammage. 

This means that, for a paper weighing 170 gsm, one sheet of this paper weighs 170 grams for every square metre. 

A paper's thickness or volume is the distance between the two sides of the sheet. Two pieces of paper weighing the same can have very different volumes. 

If the aforementioned 170-g paper is coated, the fibres are more intensely compressed during production, meaning there is less air between them. This makes the paper less thick. 

In the case of uncoated paper (e.g. offset paper), the fibres are more open-pored, meaning our offset papers are always thicker and less dense (greater volume) than coated papers of the same weight. 

A paper's thickness is stated in micrometres (µm).

Adhesive foil

This foil will be available for you when ordering stickers. It is permanently adhesive, white and has a glossy finish. The Polyethylene foil is perfectly suitable for being used outdoors, as it is water-/weather-proof as well as durable (tearproof). By being produced with light-fast colours (level 6), the stickers can be light-fast up to 4 months, depending on solar radiation. The stickers are not suitable for car washs or car cleaners. They contain solvent components and must therefore not be used for packaging food.

Digital hot foil

This involves applying a wafer-thin layer of film on the pre-defined elements using heat and pressure. This may be done partially and, in the case of glossy coated art paper, across the full area. Different effects are achieved depending on the film used. We offer high-gloss metal films in gold, silver or copper. Pixel-based data cannot be used for this. The minimum line thickness is 0.5 mm.

Colour system for special colours developed by the ink manufacturers Hostmann Steinberg, Kast+Ehinger and Schmincke. The individual colours can be determined by means of specimen books and colour ranges.

Groundwood pulp board

The material is made from frayed wood, and has a slightly yellow tinge. The lignin makes the groundwood pulp board very rigid, while the production method also renders it highly absorbent - perfect for making coasters. The textured surface is easy to print on, and can also be effectively refined with hot foil or embossing for postcards, flyers and business cards, making postcards and business cards not only absolute eye-catchers, but also giving them a unique feel.

Fluorescent paper with a thickness of 80 g/m2 is available for posters in the colours Neon Yellow, Neon Green and Neon Red. It is coated on one side, light resistant and rain-proof.

Line thickness

To ensure elements do not break away or taper when printed, graphics should have a line width of at least 0.25 pt, and letters at least 5 pt. For all print templates with checked patterns (e.g. note pads, notebooks etc.), we recommend creating the lines of the checks with at least 20% black.
The following products require a different minimum line width for flawless production: 
Books: Minimum line width 0.28 pt or 0.1 mm 
Shirts and tops: Minimum line width 2.8 pt or 1 mm 
Note pads: Minimum line width 0.26 pt or 0.09 mm 
Stamps: Minimum line width 0.57 pt or 0.2 mm Products on groundwood pulp board: The minimum line thickness for printing in CMYK is 14 pt, for refining with Letterpress or hot foil flat embossing, 3 pt or 1.06 mm

Luxecore

We offer 4 different types of Luxecore paper, each in 3 colour cores. These varieties of paper are high-grade offset types with a heavy weight and high volume. These papers types have an above-average level of rigidity. The centre of the Luxecore paper contains a coloured core, which is very clearly prominent at the edge of the paper. There are 3 colour cores available: red, blue and black. The look, feel and rigidity of this paper gives it a luxurious air. It is therefore eminently suitable for situations in which very high quality standards are demanded.The Luxecore Chamois paper has a warm natural colour (creamy white).Our Luxecore Bright White Paper is an extra white paper with a very smooth, silky surface.The Luxecore Ribbed and Luxecore Linen varieties are classified as structural paper. Their white surface is either ribbed or features a linen structure.The Luxecore varieties of paper are offered for the following products: Flyers DIN long, postcards DIN A6 and business cards 85 x 55 mm.

Assembly

Folded flyers: Please prepare your artwork assembled as inside pages and outside pages, e.g., p8 and p1 and p2 and p7. Magazines with perfect binding: Please create your artwork in accordance to the PDF template which is available for download. Cover: The cover (cover outsides and cover insides) has to be pre-assembled, please consider the gutter (space between pages). Inside pages: Please create all inside pages as single pages. Brochures with staple-binding: Please send us your printing data exclusively as single pages.

Numbering

Numbering is an ongoing sequence of numbers. You can set the start value in the order process. The start number has the same number of digits as the end number. E.g. if the last number has five digits, the start number will be 00001. When compiling print data, the numbering position, with starting value, must be marked, and created as a separate colour channel with relevant labelling (e.g. Numbering). The important thing is to create the text as a spot colour channel. Raster images cannot be used. This type of personalisation is available for the following products: Carbonless copy paper/pads, tickets.
The following fonts are available to choose from, depending on the product: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Courier New, Times New Roman.

Creasing

When folding high-grammage paper, the paper's fibres break at the folded edge. If this happens, it can also damage the ink that has already been applied. 
To prevent this, we recommend creasing the product for grammages of 170 gsm and over. 
This weakens the material in the break line, enabling a better fold.

Please note that, even with creasing, the back can still break. To counteract this, avoid applying ink (especially dark inks) across the entire fold. 

The following rules must also be followed for technical reasons:
- Crease lines cannot be created over cross joints
 - No guarantee can be made as to which side of the paper the crease's bulge will be on 
 - Crease lines and perforation lines cannot be created in the same spot 
 - Crease lines can only be positioned on 'full' or 'half' millimetres; there can also be fluctuations of up to 1 mm within a tolerance range 
- The minimum gap between crease lines, between a crease line and a perforation line, or between a crease line and a fold is 10 mm 

Creating printing data
If the crease lines on folder flyers or envelopes are positioned in the fold, no markings are required in the printing data.
 If the position of the crease line is not clear, you can mark it out as follows: 
Create small marks, line thickness of approx. 1 pt and length of 1 mm in a separate colour channel, and call this 'crease'. It is important to create the marks in the outermost millimetres of the bleed, so that they do not remain visible in the printed image later on after cutting.
 We do not remove the markings from the layout.

Please send the print data in the specified dimensions, and avoid any cutting lines/end-format borders.

Offset paper

This type of paper is available in 80 g/m², 90 g/m², 100 g/m², 350 g/m² and 400 g/m². It is characterised by high whiteness and opacity. In addition, our uncoated paper is guaranteed to be reprintable and writable but achieves a lower quality than coated paper when printing e.g. coloured areas and pictures.

Opaque

The word "opaque" is derived from the term "opacity", meaning "non-transparent". In the modern printing industry, materials rendered non-transparent by a blue or grey coating on the back are called opaque, and thus usually prevent information from showing through. Opaque labels are used, for example, to cover information by pasting over it.Opaque materials in our range can be found in labels and self-adhesive films.

Corrugated plastic posters

Particularly suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, e.g. as election posters, or for advertising promotions at trade fairs, concerts or events. Our twin-wall posters are a lightweight, solid, long-lasting, non-fading product which can be re-used and is resistant to all the elements. Goodbye glue! You too can present your advertising slogan with ease.

Pantone

Colour system for special and spot colours. Pantone was developed in the USA and is also widely used in Europe. The individual colours are chosen using colour guides and colour tables. The Pantone colour palette can also be used for Gold and Silver. The metallic effect can be achieved only with 100% ink coverage. Gradations in the colours leads to loss of the effect. 

PDF (Portable Document Format)

Data format for platform-independent and program-independent data exchange. PDF files are created on the basis of program files or PostScript files. Acrobat Reader, which is available free of charge for all operating systems, allows to open and print PDF documents. PDF is used for: document transfers for the purpose of correction, printing and exposure, remote proofing, download of files from the Internet, CD-ROM catalogues, magazine archives on CD and on the Internet.

PDF/X

The standard series of PDF/X has been developed for using PDF as printing artwork. The printing industry is using the standards PDF/X-1 a for the output of CMYK plus special colours, and PDF/X-3 which allows device-independent colour spaces, such as RGB or CIELAB as well. PDF/X files have to meet certain requirements, e.g. integrated fonts and image data, information about the page size, degree of trapping, as well as integrated output profiles.

Perforation

Small holes are punched into the material at short, even distances to create a perforation line, which enables sections to be removed more easily. 
This technique is used for purposes such as removing reply cards or vouchers, as well as to validate tickets. 

The following rules must be followed for technical reasons:
- Perforation lines can only be created in a fold if the paper's grammage is 115 gsm or more, as the print product may otherwise fall apart at the perforated site
 - Perforation lines cannot be created over cross joints 
 - Create lines and perforation lines cannot be created in the same spot 
 - Perforation lines can only be positioned on 'full' or 'half' millimetres; there can also be fluctuations of up to 1 mm within a tolerance range 
 - Minimum gap between perforation lines: 20 mm
 - Minimum gap between a perforation line and a crease line or fold: 10 mm
 - Minimum gap between a perforation line and the edge in the case of NCR papers: 10 mm
 - Perforation lines may only be created parallel to the narrow side 

Creating printing data
To clearly mark the position of the perforation lines, you can mark them out as follows: 
Create small marks, line thickness of approx. 1 pt and length of 1 mm in a separate colour channel, and call this 'perforation'. It is important to create the marks in the outermost millimetres of the bleed, so that they do not remain visible in the printed image later on after cutting.
 We do not remove the markings from the layout.

Recycled paper

Our bright-white recycled paper is available in various thicknesses (with up to 100 g/m² grammage, suitable for copiers, ink-jet and laser printers). It is made from 100% waste paper and has a 1.3 bulk. The matte, surface-sized eco-paper is FSC-certified, bears the Blue Angel environmental seal and is distinguished by its age-resistance

Relief varnish

The UV relief varnish creates an outstanding experience, both visually and haptically. Similar to embossing, you can feel the UV relief varnish, but it does not leave any visible structures on the rear side of the product. The UV relief varnish is used to create haptic effects for individual elements such as lettering or decorations. 
 
UV relief varnish is offered for the following products: Flyers, postcards, business cards, brochures (jacket), magazines (jacket) and door hangers. 
 
When preparing the printing data, create a separate colour channel for the UV relief varnish and label it accordingly, e.g. "varnish". It is important you set these areas to overprinting and the colour application to 100%. To prevent elements breaking, images should not have lines less than 0.35 mm und fonts not smaller than 14 pt. Please also note that there must be a 10-mm safety margin to the cut outer edge of your product all the way around.

RFID chip

Our RFID chip NXP MIFARE® Classic 1K is one of the world's most commonly used contactless chip-card technologies. It operates at a high frequency of 13.56 MHz, achieving reader ranges of up to 10 cm. Classic area of application include access checks and timekeeping systems, student IDs, and customer and bonus cards.All cards delivered uncoded.

RGB (Red Green Blue)

The RGB colour space is used by devices which reproduce colours from beams of light which add up to create white when projected on top of each other (scanners, digital cameras, monitors, beamers). This is also called additive colour mixing. For printing, the RGB data have to be converted into CMYK during the production process. This causes changes in colour which can be controlled by methods of colour management.

Screen printing

In screen printing, the ink is printed directly onto the fabric using stencils. State-of-the-art screen-printing machines guarantee accurate, long-lasting print quality. As the pigments are printed directly onto the cloth and not onto a base material, the feel is relatively neutral and the printed motif does not feel plasticky or rubbery – making for particularly comfortable wearing even for large-scale prints. Optimum colour effects are achieved on dark fabrics through discharge printing, insofar as this involves cellular fibres (e.g. cotton). In this so-called pigment discharge printing, the fabric is bleached and simultaneously printed on using special printing inks in just one single work stage. The bleaching occurs as a result of chemical reactions during the drying process, and increases both colour brilliance and print coverage.Line drawing / Full-tone templates- are the conventional motif templates in textile screen printing - each colour is applied individually and successively onto the fabric - there are no colour gradients within a single colour - metallic colours are also possible - the price is based on the number of coloursGrid motifs/Gradients- the most elaborate version of screen printing - special films are needed for screen exposure - for grid motifs or photorealistic motifs, we combine up to 14 printing inks with separate screens directly on the fabric.

Special Colour

Also called spot colour. Specially mixed colour, which is not made out of the standard process colours cyan, magenta, yellow of black. Each spot colour will create an additional plate for the print. The spot colours will be defined in colour tables within the applications. We offer the colour palette Pantone in our printing facility. For gold and silver you can also use the colour palette Pantone. The metallic effect can be gained only on 100% ink coverage. Gradations and screen tints may falsify the result of all special colours. Gold Digital/Silver Digital is printed using a metallic toner with special reflective pigments. It thus offers the same quality as Pantone Gold/Silver, and also enables gradients of metallic effects. Please always create an additional colour channel for the spot colour. It is not possible to print one channel (CMYK) as a spot colour. For that reason please label the separate colour channel with your desired colour code. We can print only the special colour as ordered.

Spot varnish

Spot varnish is a partial varnishing where separate areas are highlighted optically by a varnish coating of the required parts. We offer you this way of refining for the following products: magazines/catalogues, flyers, calendars, posters, postcards, brochures and business cards. When creating your print data, there is a separate colour channel needed for the areas to be varnished partially (as for a fifth colour - HKS, Pantone, gold or silver). It is not possible to print a process colour-channel (CMYK) as varnish. Please set the area for spot varnish on overprint and the ink application on 100%. Please also note that there must be a 2-mm safety margin to the cut outer edge of your product all the way around.

If the print job is already placed on the printing plate (so-called Pooling), we charge the net product price plus optional extra services (e.g. premium file check) as a compensation for the cancellation, as the automated printing process cannot be stopped from this point.

Tolerances

When it comes to further processing, precision and accuracy are of utmost importance. That's why computerised machinery is now used in the printing industry. But there can still be tolerances when cutting and folding the paper; depending on the type of product and material used, they may be up to 1 mm. These differences in cuts and folds unfortunately cannot be completely ruled out. They may result in elements close to the side, e.g. pictures, text or narrow strips, being cut off, or layouts looking uneven after cutting or folding.To guarantee you the best possible quality, try to avoid placing text or objects too close to the edge when laying out the page.We unfortunately cannot recognise complaints relating to problems within the aforementioned tolerance. For more information, see the "Bleed" and "Folding dimensions" sections.

Transfer printing

Digital transfer printing is a fast, free, high-quality DDP process to help you personalise your fabrics. Motifs are printed onto release paper. The prepared motifs are first applied to the base material through digital printing, then, once dry, pressed onto the fabric under heat and high pressure. For dark fabrics, the transfer paper is cut along the motif's outlines. Please create a spot colour for the white print with the name “white” for all the parts which should be printed in white. In addition this channel has to be set on overprint.

UV spot varnish

The UV spot varnish creates glossy, perspective-inducing effects, although the varnish is only applied in certain areas, i.e. on individual motifs, logos or lettering. The print product thus becomes a personalised, classy feature. 
 
This form of refining is offered for the following products: Flyers, postcards, business cards, brochures (jacket), magazines (jacket), calendars, posters and door hangers. 
 
When preparing the printing data, make sure you create a separate colour channel for the areas on which the UV varnish is due to be applied, e.g. for a fifth colour or special colour. It is important you set these areas to overprinting, and the colour application to 100%.
 Please also note that there must be a 2-mm safety margin to the cut outer edge of your product all the way around.

Overprinting

A colour mixture - a new hue in other words - is created when colours are printed one over the other. This effect is possible because printing ink is transparent. If overprinting is not desired, certain images and text elements have to be knocked out. As the overprint settings are disabled at our end, the effect needs to be simulated while creating the artwork

Hot foil

In this type of refining, a transfer ribbon is applied to the designated areas using heat and pressure. Different effects are achieved depending on the ribbon used, e.g. high-gloss metal films in gold, silver or bronze/copper. 
 
This form of refining is offered for the following products: Flyers, postcards, business cards, letterheads, calendars, envelopes, posters, brochures (jacket), magazines (jacket), folders and door hangers. 
 
When preparing the printing data, the elements due to be embossed must be created exclusively as vectors in a separate colour channel and labelled accordingly, e.g. "embossing". These areas must be set to overprinting, and the colour application to 100% Magenta. The minimum line thickness is 0,2 mm, and for hot foil flat embossing on groundwood pulp board, 1.06 mm (3 pt).
Hot foil flat embossing may be produced with a bleed-off on mechanical pulp board.

UV varnish

The UV varnish is an additional layer of varnish which creates glossy and perspective-inducing effects. UV varnish can be applied everywhere or in certain areas (UV spot varnish). Varnishing not only generates excellent high-gloss effects, but also makes the product hard-wearing, protecting it from scratches. 
 
We offer this form of refining for the following products: Flyers, posters, postcards, business cards, brochures (jacket), magazines (jacket), calendars, folders, printing sheets and door hangers.

Photo cups

To ensure the print lasts for as long as possible, we recommend washing the cup by hand.

Embroidery

Min. 300dpi as PDF with colour details in HKS or Pantone. Up to 12 different thread colours available per theme. The colour values used in the layout template are comparative values, and may differ slightly from the actual thread colours. Send us you data as a vector graphic, and do not use any graphic effects (e.g. gradients, colour screens, transparency, hard shadows, 3D effects etc.).Please convert all text into paths. Text should ideally be sans-serif, with a minimum font size of 6 mm.The general minimum line thickness is 2.8 pt or 1 mm. For production reasons, the textile dimensions may have a tolerance of +/- 5 %.We cannot be held liable for any erroneous print products based on other printing data.

Digital printing (direct on garment)

This modern printing process sees the ink applied directly to the textile using digital print heads. In the case of coloured textiles, a white underprint is added first before the actual motif is then printed in a second process. This enables a high-quality, vivid printed image even on dark fabrics.At least 300dpi as PNG, TIFF, JPEG or PDF in the RGB colour space with 8-bit colour depth. Please do not use any spot colours or special colours, and always reduce your file to one layer. Make sure your print file supports transparency, if this is desired. The image size must match the dimensions of the entire printing area.For production reasons, textile measures may vary by +/- 5%.
