Print-ready files

The file the printer asks for.

Choose PDF Print when you download, and you get a PDF/X-4 in CMYK with bleed and crop marks. On Professional, preflight checks the file thoroughly, and cut lines and spot colours go on plates of their own.

What makes the difference

  • True black, true colours

    Pure black becomes pure K, and the CMYK values you type come through as they are. Gold and silver are printed on plates of their own.

  • Preflight before it is too late

    Check for print finds lines that are too thin, four-colour black in small text, too much ink and missing bleed. Much of it can be fixed in one click.

  • Cut lines for the cutting table

    CUT, CutContour, KISS-CUT, crease and perforation, each on a plate of its own, set to overprint.

Questions and answers

  • Which colour profile do you use?

    ISO Coated v2 (300%). On Professional you can choose from more print presets.

  • Can you make PDF/X-1a?

    Yes, on Professional, for pages without transparency. A page with transparency is refused instead of being turned into an image.

  • How do cut lines work?

    You draw the cut line in the design and choose its type. In the PDF file it sits on a plate of its own, set to overprint, so the cutting table can find it.

  • Can we make saddle-stitched brochures?

    Yes. Brochures of 4 to 96 pages are edited spread by spread, and the PDF can be downloaded as single pages or spreads.
