Design the layout in the format 87.60 mm x 56 mm. The inner area with the dimensions 85.60 mm x 54 mm will be printed. Please do not insert any crop marks. The outline of the card is also not necessary. It would only make our work more difficult.
The printer has a resolution of 600 dpi. When creating the PDF file, make sure the resolution is 600 dpi. (The program standard is often 300 dpi).
The card format, which is also often referred to as “check card size,” is 85.6 mm x 54 mm. The thickness of the cards is 0.76 mm.
A PDF file with one card side per sheet. Card size: 85.60 mm x 54 mm. There should be a 1 mm bleed on each side. This results in a page size of 87.60 mm x 56 mm. Only the inner area with the size of 85.60 mm x 54 mm is printed. The bleed is used to compensate for feed inaccuracies.
When creating a PDF, you must pay attention to the quality settings. We recommend using profiles such as “qualitative print” or similar. Often the settings for web-optimized PDFs are specified. In these cases, the print quality suffers.
Graphics from the internet are not always suitable for printing. For technical reasons, internet graphics are often published with a reduced resolution (e.g. 72 dpi). A much higher resolution is used for printing. For this reason, these graphics do not look as nice when printed as they do on the monitor.
A brochure is created from sheets that are folded and stapled – each sheet contains 4 individual pages. Therefore, a brochure should always have a number of pages that is divisible by 4. Brochures with a maximum of 100 individual pages can be printed.
Since we work exclusively with Windows, USB sticks must be formatted for Windows. Data sticks formatted for Macintosh cannot be read.
The copiers also only work optimally with FAT-formatted USB sticks. USB sticks with U3 applications usually cause problems.
You are always on the safe side with a PDF. It already corresponds to the desired printout. With Word documents, different settings in MS Word can lead to unwanted page breaks or formatting errors.
Thinner paper types can be folded very easily without the paper surface breaking. For thicker types, a crease must therefore first be pressed into the material with a rounded tool before folding in order to ensure a professional appearance.
We offer laminates up to a size of A3.
On the B/W devices, you can print up to 90 cm, on the color devices up to 105 cm.
Yes, plans and large formats can be scanned up to a width of 90 cm. It should be noted that we do this on a roll device with a feed. The templates must therefore not be firmly stapled in a binding and must not be too thick.
No, because our large formats are printed from a paper roll and not on individual sheets. The largest format that we can print on both sides is SRA3 (320 x 450 mm).
