Submission conditions

• File format

  Submit your document as a PDF. Our system also accepts other file types, this will be automatically converted to PDF (note: check the layout after this conversion or check our explanation about converting your document to PDF yourself). In chronological order, so as single pages (no spreads).
  
  Voor experts: Submit as PDF/X-1a:2001, color profile Fogra39L, CMYK, 300dpi, fonts embedded and 3mm bleed.

• Size

  Submit document as:
  You can submit in a different sizing, which will be automatically scaled to the chosen size. View the result using the preview. On this page you can read more information about how to set a (different) size in your design program

• Borderless

  The printer cannot print to the edge, 5mm of the side of the page remains unprinted (the print margin). You can prevent this with the option "borderless printing" select so that we produce your document in a different way.
  

• Text margin

  Don't put texts / important figures to close to the edge, leave a small empty space of at least 5mm from the edge 5mm distance. Read at this page more information.
  

• Frames

  When designing a frame, a possible machine deviation is quickly disturbing, therefore we recommend that the edge of the frame be at least 4mm width. The maximum machine deviation is 1mm (so the left frame can 2mm deviate from the right frame). Read more information about frameworks at this page
  

• Layout

  Submit the document as single pages, not as spreads. Microsoft Word contains these default settings so you don't have to change anything. By printing double sided you can make sure 2 pages appear side to side.
