You are free to create your own design in a variety of design programs (such as e.g. Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Photopaint, PaintshopPro, ...) However, we desire bitmap files to be sure of the best result and to avoid needless costs.
Stick to the specifications given below to be sure of an optimal quality.
General requirements:
printing:
-
It is recommended to use a bitmap formal such as e.g. Jpg, Tiff, ...
and not to supply in vector (e.g. PDF, Ai illustrator, coreldraw). In this way, problems with fonts, PDF versions or colours are avoided.
If you however have the knowledge to provide a certified PDF, this is preferred.
- 300 dpi
- CMYK colours
- Creating your file in CMYK, converting to RGB before delivery is recommended, in this way a small file (provided that the compression is good, max. 8/10) can make email delivery possible and still yield a fine result.
