Submission specifications for Pearlescent Business Cards
- 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.
- Keep 4 mm safety margin
- Keep all important text and images at least 4 mm away from the edge of the finished size.
- 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.
- Resolution of at least 300 dpi.
- Make sure the resolution of the images and graphics in your artwork are at least 300 dpi.
- Convert fonts to outlines or embed all the fonts.
- Make sure you convert fonts to outlines or embed all the fonts when saving it to PDF.
- 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%.
- Save your files in uneditable, print-ready file formats.
- Save your files in uneditable, print-ready file formats (PDF (1.4 or higher), TIFF, EPS, JPG). Deliver your files in one layer: the background layer.
- Use the right values for full color black.
- Use Rich Black (C:63% M:52% Y:51% K:100%) for larger areas and text to get a deep black color. Do not use this value for text smaller than 15 pt or plain text. This can only be used in full color printing. For designing black smaller texts use 100% black.
- Lines should be at least 0.25 pt.
- Lines should be at least 0.25 pt. Negative lines should be at least 0.5 pt.
- Check your artwork on overprint.
- Make sure no elements in your artwork are set on overprint. Unless you want this effect in your design. The degree of transparency in printing depends on the ink, paper, and printing method used.
- Keep 4 mm safety margin from the fold.
- Keep all important text and images at least 4 mm away from the fold.

- Which production techniques do you use?
-
- For the production of your Pearlescent Business Cards we use the following production technique(s):
- Digital (up to 250 pieces): printed on professional HP Indigo printers, directly after your order is received. Digital printing is cheaper in lower order quantities.
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.
