Print data notes for Cardboard Stools

File formatPlease send us for your cardboard stools a PDF document inthe format PDF/X-3 Standard (Version 1.4) and embed allfonts completely. Please make sure that the imageresolution remains unchanged and is ≥ 300dpi and that thedocument is clearly named (preferably with our ordernumber).

Additionally you can send us files in an open file format:Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe PhotoShop. Theimages should not be embedded in the data, but linkedfrom a separate folder. All fonts must be supplied in theirentirety.

Note: Photoshop is an image editing program. It is onlysuitable to a limited extent for creating and setting fonts,logos, etc., because the data is rasterized when savingwithout the corresponding settings. Please send all fontsand all used pictures and graphics.

Please avoid formats with lossy compression such as GIF orJPEG. These lead to undesirable results depending on theprocess.

Please also avoid the PNG format as it does not support theCMYK colour space.

LayoutPlease make sure to create the print data for yourcardboard stools in the correct scale. For processingreasons, we additionally require circumferential trimming bythe punching or format line. The exact values can be foundon page 1 of the respective data sheet.

Safety dist.When designing your cardboard stools, we recommend thatyou pull elements located at the edge of the end format orpunching line into the bleed or let them end with a safetydistance (see page 1 in the respective data sheet) in front ofit.

Colour spacePlease create for your cardboard stools all data (also imagesor other objects) in CMYK and / or spot colours. Pleaseconvert RGB data to CMYK yourself to avoid unwanted colorchanges. For production reasons, spot colours are onlypossible in offset printing. If it is a digital print, these coloursare simulated as well as possible. The maximum inkapplication should not exceed 320 %.

Black compositionBlack and grey fonts as well as objects should only becreated in pure black (0/0/0/100) CMYK. Using black madeout of several colours is not recommended as it can easilylead to slight inaccuracies and single color flashes. In orderfor black areas to appear deep black, it is necessary to add aso-called "sub-color addition": Cyan. This only applies tolarge black areas and headlines - not to smaller font sizes!

Our recommendation is:Use black with 50% cyan and 100 % black (50/0/0/100)CMYK.

OverprintThe overprint function can be used when creating the printdata in individual cases for your cardboard stools to avoidpossible white flashes during later printing. Whenoverprinting, however, it should be noted that the colours inoffset printing are translucent. If, for example, a blue circleis printed on an orange background, this does not result in ablue circle, but in a mixed color of green. Overprintingtherefore does not work with colored motifs, only blackobjects can overprint colored backgrounds in most cases.

White elements that are set to overprint are not visible inthe print!

With the exception of refinements, the punch outlines or thecontour cuts, you should therefore avoid the overprintfunction unless you explicitly want this effect!

TrappingOverfills/underfillings don't have to be created separately.We take care of that, individually fitting to each product.

ResolutionIn order to achieve a high-quality result, the pictures on yourcardboard stools must have a sufficient resolution at 100 %scaling in the creation format. Please note the informationson page 1 of the data sheet. If images with a larger scaleshould be integrated, the resolution must becorrespondingly higher, alas with a lower scalecorrespondingly lower. Please also ensure that theresolution is not reduced by incorrect settings whencreating PDFs.

Print finishingIf you want to refine your cardboard stools, you must createthis refinement as a special colour (spot color) in your data.It is important that you name the special colour with the

finishing and set it to "overprint"! Only in this way can thefinishing be applied as desired. If you don't set the specialcolour to overprint, the underlying color is omitted and awhite area (paper white) is refined.

BarcodesIf barcodes are to be printed on your cardboard stools,please note the following: Bar codes must usually becreated according to "DIN EN 797 (ISO 15420) and CEN /ANSI-DIN EN 1635 (ISO 15416)" and reduced or enlargedaccording to the SC standard.

You need sufficient contrast to the background - ideally 100% black on a white field. Please be careful not to mix theblack with cyan, magenta or yellow. Only a pure blackguarantees an exact representation on the printed imageand readability for barcode scanners.

Please use vector data only.

Punch contour / contour cutPlease use only the latest punch outline to build the printlayout of your cardboard stools on a scale of 1:1. The punchoutline should be created as a special color with thedesignation "Cutting Line" in a separate layer with theattribute "overprinting".

Data transferPlease send us your print data for your cardboard stools viaemail. For print data over 20 MB, we recommend that yousend us your print data via Dropbox, the online servicewww.wetransfer.com or on a physical medium (CD, DVD,USB stick).

Please only send us files that are required for the order inquestion. The data should be clearly structured and easy toidentify. We also need a PDF to check the position andcolour distribution or alternatively a colour proof or printsample. Please also note the maximum file size per motif of500 MB.

Print approvalBefore production starts you will receive a PDF file to viewthe complete printing plate layout of your cardboard stools.Please also check this PDF for typos and spelling mistakes.Note that all colors on a monitor cannot be displayed withcolor accuracy. Please give us your approval by replying tothe email we sent you.

Once the PDF file has been approved, we'll send you a 1:1plot, if necessary, as well as a colour proof for approval forprinting. Please note that spot colors can only be simulatedin CMYK. An approval form is enclosed with the proof and

plot, which we receive back completed by fax. We alsoaccept approval e-mails, which refer specifically to proofingand plotting.

Production times without delay can only be guaranteed ifthe data is submitted in due time.

The time required for the preparation and shipping of theseapproval documents is to be ensured by the punctualsubmission of data.
