Printing requirements
General requirements
1. We send the file in the .ZIP archive (not .RAR and not without the archive). 2. We write the name of the file in Latin: in English or transliteration, but do not use Russian letters. In the title you can and well give information about the file. E.g.CompanyName-Logo-Rus-Color-Tiff-210x297mm-CMYK-5Mb.zip
Decryption
| Company | Logo | Language | Color or Black and white | Format | Size | Color mode | Size of the file |
| CompanyName | Logo | Rus | Color | Tiff | 210x297mm | CMYK | 5Mb |
Typographical requirements
Photo and graphics
| Format | Tiff |
| resolution | 300 dpi (dots per inch) |
| color mode | CMYK |
Fonts
Use fonts Type1, usually the system is TrueType, but most likely there is also Type1. Do not expect that the simplest system fonts (Arial, Times) will be correctly displayed.Business Cards
There may be different requirements that need to be addressed in the selected printing house.Requirements:
- CorelDRAW 9.0 format. The matter is that CorelDRAW is not a cheap program and not all use pirate versions, that is why there is a great chance that the printing house will not have the latest version of the program. And the specificity of CorelDRAW is that documents stored in the new version of old programs will not open.
- Size 90?50 mm
- Save everything in curves, otherwise the fonts will not be displayed correctly.
- Colors in RGB, otherwise the colors will be more saturated (darker) than they were originally. If you are too lazy to mess around, just keep it in mind and therefore you should make them a little lighter.
Requirements for digital photos
You have a digital camera and do not necessarily have small printed photo, much better digital photo album.But even in this case you want to put something in the frame, and here we went to digital printing. Unfortunately, not always you will run into the master and you will be told that photos can be brought in any format, but we are interested in the best result.
So, here are the requirements for the format:
| Format | Jpeg |
| 10?15 A6 | will actually be 152?102 mm |
| 15?21 A5 | will actually be 216?152 mm |
| 21?30 A4 | will actually be 305?203 mm |
| resolution | 300 dpi (dots per inch) |
| color mode | RGB |
Printing a CD cover
The same requirements are Jpeg/300 dpi/RGB, only the size is different.| inner diameter | 43 mm |
| outer diameter | 116 mm |
Download a CD template for printing in PSD format.
All parameters and sizes are exposed, it remains to make your design and save in JPEG format.
Requirements for of Internet
Photo or complex drawing
| Format | Jpeg |
| Quality | 40-60% at 100% quality improvement will be barely noticeable, but the size will increase greatly |
| resolution | 72 dpi (dots per inch) |
| color mode | RGB (usually the default) |
It is technically possible to make a drawing of one size, and on the output to specify another. But be sure to create a drawing of the required size. If you stretch the picture, it will lose quality.
If you squeeze, then the drawing will get heavier, and distortions are possible.
A simple drawing or drawing with a transparent background
| Format | Gif or Png |
| resolution | 72 dpi (dots per inch) |
| color mode | RGB (usually the default) |
Drawing with transparent background and shadows
| Format | PNG-24 |
| resolution | 72 dpi (dots per inch) |
| color mode | RGB (usually the default) |
If a simple PNG (PNG-8) is created with a transparent background and shadows, it will look good on a white background. If we want it to look good on a blue background, then we will need to ask blue background when creating the page. If the background changes, then you have to abandon the shadows, and most likely you will have to create your own picture for each background. But sometimes the picture should be the same, with shadows and transparent photos, then the PNG-24 format (by the way, here it is not 256 colors, but larger, respectively, and the larger the image size). Compare (both images look the same on a white background? But change the background color):
