Color

• For large areas of black, black must not be set as K 100%, as the result will be a pale print.
• To get a saturated 'deep' black,
  it is necessary to use C 50%, M 50%, Y 50% K 100%.
• Also black must not be from C 100%, M 100%, Y 100% K 100%.
  This means that the tobacco will have 400% color which will not print well.

Pantone (spot) colors

• If the work you bring is in color and needs to be printed from CMYK, you need to convert all spot colors to CMYK before creating the PDF itself.
• If it is necessary to print the job and with spot colors, use standard pantone color values (pantone solid coated in Illustrator and InDesign).
• If somewhere Panton and CMYK overlap, it is necessary to do it so that FILL panton punches the color and OUTLINE 0.25 pt goes to OVERPRINT, so we avoid a mismatch between CMYK and PANTON colors.

Text

• Do not play the text in more than one color.
• Exclusively only K 100% and as an overprint.
  In case the area of some text is large (title, etc.), then it can be used in all four colors.
• You will get the best quality if you make the image or background in Photoshop and text and vector objects (logo, for example) in a vector program.
  Avoid small white text on the background of all four colors because with each mismatch, the text will not be white but in the color that does not match.
• White text on a black background (into which we inserted colors from the ratio C 50%, M 50%, Y 50% K 100%) can cause a problem because if the colors are not well matched, the color will appear on the edges of the text, which enters the whiteness of the letters and makes the text illegible. The solution is to put black Outline (behind the fill) like K 100 % and then on CMY separations the outline will pierce the base, while only black
  reaches the edge of the letter. This way the letters will remain clear.

Photos

• The images you use in preparation should be in 300 dpi resolution, in CMYK.

Covers

Covers with folds (magazines and books with soft covers), you deliver to us so that in one file there are K1 and K2, in another K3, K4 and in the third file the fold itself. Either we tell you the width of the cover or we deliver a drawing according to which you form the cover (hardcover). The overhang of the cover should be on all external sides. On K2 and K3 (inside of the cover), the spine must be white, text and objects must be separated from the spine by at least 7 mm, because when assembled with a book block, the binder sticks 5 mm from the edge of the spine.
For spiral binding, an overhang is left on all sides. In this case, the cover should be submitted in a separate file.
