Submission specifications for Blueback posters
- Add 3 mm bleed.
- To allow leeway for cutting differences in production, always add a bleed of 3 mm around all edges of your design. Make sure colours, background pictures and layouts extend into the bleed area so as to avoid leaving white lines as a result of cutting tolerances. You can submit your file with crop marks and printer's marks.
- Keep 4 mm safety margin.
- Keep all important text and images at least 4 mm away from the edge of the finished size.
- Resolution of at least 300 dpi.
- Make sure the resolution of the images and graphics in your artwork are at least 300 dpi.
- Use CMYK as the color mode.
- Prepare your files using CMYK as the color mode, not RGB. Use colormode FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2) for coated papertypes and colormode FOGRA47 (PSO Uncoated ISO12647) for uncoated papertypes. If you are unsure of the colour mode of your file, don't worry we can always convert this for you. Keep in mind this can cause the colours to differ from the original file.

- Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.
- Force Color Images to CMYK with a 260% ink limit (in Photoshop > Convert Color Profile > Photoshop 5 Default CMYK). Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.

Frequently Asked Questions for Blueback posters
- What is this product exactly? And what can I use it for?
- A poster is an unfolded sheet of paper, often larger sized, which is suspended / pasted on windows, walls, columns or plates. Large sized posters stand out impressively and you can be sure that they catch people’s attention.
- This product is used to / as:
- Introduce people to your business
- Promote discounts or events
- Provide information
- Which production techniques do you use?
- For the production of your Blueback posters we use the following production technique(s):
Digital printing uses four colours (CMYK) with toners and inks to print digital files. This option is comparable to large home printer, and is cheaper than ‘litho’ printing for smaller quantities. This is because there are less starting costs, less components involved, and no ink drying time necessary.
Offset Lithography printing or Litho printing makes it possible to provide larger quantities at unbeatable prices. This technique creates images and text with wet ink and transferred to each paper sheet with aluminium and rubber plates. This method is more extensive than its 'digital’ counterpart because of the different printing materials that are used. Still, it is the most cost-effective option when you order bigger printed batches.
- Which material can I choose?
- a7.35-115gsm blueback: This type of paper is mainly used for pasting on triangle plates, two-signs and billboards. The blue back ensures that these posters are not see through, allowing you to paste them easily on another poster. In addition, these posters are made specifically for outdoor use and have a much better adhesion than normal print, because of coarse structure of the back.
- Will my affiche be folded at the delivery?
- No, the posters will be delivered rolled up (large sizes) or flat (small sizes).
- What is the fastest possible turnaround?
- The fastest possible turnaround for Blueback posters is:
- Next day.
- To make sure that your order is delivered at the indicated time, it is important that we receive your file with your design for the product, on time (also called cut-off time). In this way the product can be put into production on time. The deadline is always communicated in the yellow bar on the product page, above the "Add to shopping cart" button.
- The cut-off time for your printed item may vary. This depends on the combination you choose. This has to do with the manufacturing technique and / or the order quantities.
- NOTE: The product delivery shifts a day every time the deadline for submission has passed. This is also the case if the file is rejected by us and corrected artwork isn't supplied before the next cut off time.
- Which carriers are used for the delivery?
- For the delivery of your blueback posters we use multiple carriers. Because of the highest reliability, in most cases we use UPS or DPD.
