LED-Messewand Lumix™

Resolution

The resolution must be at least 75 dpi up to a maximum of 150 dpi. Alternatively for very large files: Create a file at a 1:10 scale, with a resolution of at least 750 dpi to 1500 dpi.

When exporting PDF files, pay attention to the resolution of the images. The default setting is 300dpi.

Safety area (edge distance)

Position the texts and other important elements at least 5 cm from the edge to avoid overlapping with the eyelets, hems, or seams. For textile products with a sleeve, the distance to the edges corresponds to the size of the sleeve to which 4 cm should be added.

Cut

Create your files in final format, at a scale of 1/1 (or 1/10 if necessary), without bleed or crop marks.

Font / Lines

Use a font size that is easy to read, even from a distance. The appropriate font size varies depending on the material. If your creation includes text, use a font size larger than 0.8 cm (measured at the height of lowercase letters).

If your print file is created in vector format, such as PDF or AI, convert the font to paths. This is the only way to ensure that the correct font is printed.

Use a stroke thickness of at least 2.8 pt or 0.1 cm. For thinner lines, we cannot guarantee optimal display.

Special colors

RAL, HKS, or Pantone shades do not always have an ideal rendering in digital printing in four-color (CMYK). Please let us know the specific colors you desire, and we will try to get as close as possible.

Specific colors like gold or silver are not printable in digital four-color (CMYK) printing. However, through color mixing, we can achieve good gold or silver effects. Feel free to share your wishes with us.

Data Types

We accept the following file formats:

• (.pdf) PDF/X-3 Standard
• (.jpg) Image formats
  Images saved at the highest quality settings
• (.ai) Adobe Illustrator
  Images must be embedded and not attached
• (.eps) Encapsulated Postscript
• (.svg) scalable vector graphic
  In a vectorized file, text must be converted to paths/curves.

Please always save Adobe Photoshop or GIMP files in .jpg format.
For Adobe InDesign files, pay attention to PDF export settings. The files are otherwise very large.

Color Settings

Images must be in the CMYK color mode (COATED FOGRA 39 or 27, ISO Coated V2). RGB images (the one from your screen) are not suitable for printing. When converting RGB images to CMYK (four-color), the rendering may vary slightly.

Please make sure to disable the 'overprint' setting.

To print deep black in the CMYK color space, please choose the shade 86/85/70/100 for your creation.

Print File Naming Convention

Do you want to print several different designs? With us, you don't need to place multiple orders.

Name the files according to their use and the desired distribution (e.g. pattern_A_3x.pdf). Use the comments field to confirm the desired distribution.
