BASICS
Please keep the following information in mind to ensure proper results.
Print Files
Ideally you submit print files using “Print Settings PDF 1.6” with a minimum bleed of 3mm. If print files are submitted with other settings and parameters, additional costs can occur. In order to optimize and facilitate our partnership and to save time we have created Pre-Settings for you. We created two different PDF setting versions, which are available as a free download. Data Transfer can be done by Mail, FTP, WeTransfer, Dropbox or similar tools. FTP access can be requested via your sales rep.
Color Management
All our productions and machines use 4 color mode CMYK. Any spot color like HKS, RAL or Pantone can only be displayed and produced within the CMYK Color Space. If you intend to use spot color, please advise your contact at Plakativ accordingly.
White & Cut / Outlines
If you intend to place an order with additional prints in white color or containing contour cuts please use separate color channels created with spot colors. In order to guarantee perfect settings and productions the color channel for white color print has to be named “White” and the channel for contour cuts has to be named “Cut”. Both channels have to be set to “overprint”. The color for the channels can be chosen freely. For these options PDF 1.6 setting is mandatory!
