Please set text and any important information at least 3mm from the edge (5mm for posters, 7mm for magazines/brochures). Line weight (thickness) should not be less than 0,08mm 0,25 pt. Negative lines should have a line weight of at least 0,17 mm or 0,5 pt.
Format: All files must be sent with CMYK-colour settings. Use the following formats only: JPEG , TIFF , EPS or PDF . With vector graphic formats all text must be converted to paths! Set up pixel images with a minimum 300 dpi to avoid loss of quality during printing.

What does 1/0,2/0,4/0,4/4 etc mean?
The correct spelling beneath the product description would be: e.g. 4/1-coloured ISO-scale /black. This represents the colour palette used for front and reverse sides. The number in our case “4”) in front of the slash (/) means that a four coloured additive print comprising the four basic colours ( C yan, M agenta, Y ellow, and Black = CMYK) will be printed on the front side. Special colours exist which are specified separately:
For example: 2/1-HKS = HKS 90, black / black
When using 4 colour or offset printing techniques, almost any colour tone can be produced with the four basic colours C yan, M agenta, Y ellow, and Blac k. Offset printing machines process up to 300 dpi (dots per inch) and guarantee a very high quality of print.
