class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By supplying your material according to these guidelines, you ensure smooth production and the best possible end result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If necessary, we will review the material before printing and assist with any corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>GENERAL GUIDELINES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>File format<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Please submit your materials primarily <strong>in PDF format<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The page size must be <strong>the same as the size of the finished product<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Colors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Recommendation: <strong>CMYK color mode<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RGB files also work, but the colors may differ in the printed product  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Images and Resolution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Digital printing: <strong>300 dpi<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Large image: <strong>150 dpi<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fonts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fonts must be either:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>embed<br\/><strong><\/strong> into a PDF file<strong>or<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>convert to outlines  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s how to ensure that fonts display correctly in all situations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CUTTING MARGINS AND SAFETY ZONE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cutting allowances are one of the most common causes of errors in data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bleed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add <strong>a 3 mm bleed<\/strong> to each edge if the background or image extends all the way to the edge  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The background or image must extend <strong>beyond the final size<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Safety Zone (Inner Margin)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep important content far enough from the edge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Recommendation: <strong>3\u20135 mm from the edges<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Applies to:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>texts  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>logos  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>important elements  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This ensures that no content is cut off<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bleed:<\/strong> background\/image extending beyond the edge (<strong>+3 mm<\/strong>)  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety zone:<\/strong> important elements set back (<strong>\u20133\u20135 mm<\/strong>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The example below illustrates how the background should extend beyond the final size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\"

class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>LARGE-FORMAT PRODUCTS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same guidelines apply to large-format products, with the following clarifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Resolution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Recommended: <strong>150 dpi<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Roll-Up Banners<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add <strong>an extra 10 cm<\/strong> to the bottom edge of the material <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This part remains hidden inside the device  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Finished size: 85 \u00d7 200 cm  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dimensions: 85 \u00d7 210 cm  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The background color or image should continue into the hidden portion as well<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CUTTING PATHS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For contour cutting, the file must contain separate cutting paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Implementation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In vector format  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marked with a spot color  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clearly labeled (e.g., \u201cCut\u201d)  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Please Note<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use different spot colors for different functions:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>cross-section  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>scratching  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>polishing  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the cut paths on their own layers  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GOOD TO KNOW<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re not sure about the technical aspects of your file, you can also submit it as is\u2014we&#8217;ll check it before printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If necessary, we will make minor corrections to the material.<br\/>More extensive changes will be agreed upon separately and billed on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
