How to deliver print?
Lay-out
Lay-out can be made on 10% of the original size (and also delivered to us as such)
Do not forget to take into account seems and sleeves.
No text or image in the seem or sleef + place 2 cm (= original size, so in lay-out 2 mm) of seem or sleef.
In case of metallic incorporated rings minimum 6 cm (= original size) from the border.
Text:
- Minimum 4 pt on scale 1/10 + convert to letter contours
- Pay attention with Light-fonts - the line thickness of the letter may be minimum 0.2 pt (on 10%)
Color:
- Vector-files: Pantone Coated colors or CMYK
- Photos: RGB or CMYK
Lost space:
- 2 cm (= original size, so in lay-out 2 mm)
