Preparing files
1. Vector format
CorelDraw up to version X3 (13) or Adobe Illustrator up to version CS2
- All fonts and logos must be in the form of vectors
PDF – up to version 4.0 (fonts in vector format)
SGV – up to version 1.1
Other formats: please contact our designers
2. Raster format – dpi ALWAYS on a scale of 1:1
TIFF (LZW compression or without), PSD, BMP, PNG, JPG (not very small files) – minimum 72 dpi; maximum 180 dpi – large print formats (banners, flags) – CMYK or RGB
Preferred color profiles:
CMYK - Euroscale Coated v2EPS – conditionally (depending on the EXPORT parameters of a given program)
Other formats – consult our designers
HELPFUL INFORMATION:
1. The better and more precise the print (smaller – foil, paper, sometimes banners) the more DPI – always on a scale of 1:1.
2. Do not mix bitmaps - CMYK and RGB – in one file, e.g. CorelDraw.
3. Warm, saturated colors are ALWAYS A BETTER CHOICE.
4. Choose darker colors – the flag’s material becomes lighter as light passes through it.
5. When printing flags we prefer using Pantone C colors. The Pantone C color system table can be downloaded from our website (PANTONE_Coated.pdf). Not all Pantone colors (especially light hues and greys) look good on both sides of the flag (permeations) so we cannot guarantee a good result using all colors from the pallet. You can purchase a printout of the entire pallet on a given flag material (free for returning customers).
6. An example of a correctly executed file (and much more) can be downloaded from our website (Logo_Demo.cdr or Logo_Demo.pdf)
7. Minimal differences in colors and dimensions (± 5%) may occur due to atmospheric conditions.
8. In case of any doubts contact our designers.
