1. Bleed

Bleed is the zone added to the dimensions of the graphic design. It means adding 2.0 mm on each side, because business cards and other promotional materials are trimmed after printing. Without bleed, the cut would intrude on the dimensions, and possibly the design, of the printed piece and damage it.

Safe zone

The safe zone is the edge area of any graphic design in which no images or text should be placed. The zone is essential for keeping the printed materials at one hundred percent quality and eliminates the visibility of any deviations after trimming. The safe zone covers the area within 2.5 mm of the edge of the printed piece.

2. Print resolution (DPI)

In most cases you need some image for printing. You download it from the internet and it seems large and good enough. However, images you usually come across online have a different resolution from images suitable for quality printing.

DPI stands for dots per inch, that is, the number of dots per inch. While 72 DPI is commonly used online, printing requires 300 DPI.

3. Colour mode RGB and CMYK

Every printed material represents you or your company. It is therefore very important that it faithfully matches your corporate identity.

RGB replaces visible light with a mix of three primary colours, red, green and blue. Combining all three produces white. This mode is used by computer monitors and televisions.

CMYK is considered the printing mode, because it is better suited to printing itself. The reason is that black cannot be mixed in RGB mode. To keep colours as accurate as possible, it is best to save the logo in CMYK. If you do not have graphic software, at least send us the exact percentage composition of the colours.

4. Data

Please send us print data in PDF or CorelDraw. Sending it as an image, that is, a bitmap in JPG or TIFF format, is possible, but we do not recommend it, because details and text sharpness are lost in printing.

Attach files up to 25 MB directly in the form in the contact section. Send larger ones, up to 50 MB, to mk@compuarts.sk, or via uschovna.cz.

1. Bleed

With large-format printing, adding bleed is not needed, because these prints are trimmed by hand with a knife and ruler, so they can be cut exactly along the edge of the graphic.

The exception is preparation for advertising boards, where you need to add to the dimensions of the graphic 5 mm on each side, which are trimmed off after mounting, so your boards will be perfectly mounted right to the edge of the panel.

2. Print resolution (DPI)

It is best to prepare files at a resolution of 300 DPI. Sometimes, however, the large dimensions of the files do not allow it. In that case it is possible to supply files at 1:10 scale with a resolution of 300 DPI, because with these printing applications the viewing distance is much greater than with digital printing, and the human eye cannot tell this drop in resolution.

3. Colour mode RGB and CMYK

To keep colours as accurate as possible, it is best to save the logo in CMYK. If you do not have graphic software, at least send us the exact percentage composition of the CMYK colours.

Because large-format printing is based on inkjet printing, in some cases the print looks better in RGB than in CMYK. So if it is not possible to supply data in CMYK, we can use RGB as well.
