Material preparation for the printing

General information

  •     materials are printed according to graphic designs provided by the customer. There is also the possibility of preparing a professional graphic design by our graphic team. It is an additional service.
  •     every graphic file before being submitted for printing is checked by us in terms of technical preparation for printing. Incorrect preparation of the file, and thus the need to make changes in it, may affect the time of the order. We are not responsible for printing errors resulting from incorrect preparation of the file for printing by the customer, as well as for factual errors in the design (e.g. in the texts).
  •     if you have questions or problems that you will not find answered in this guide, you can contact us.
  •     if there is a need to make changes to the file, our graphic department will contact you via email or phone. To facilitate contact in the order, you can give the direct contact to the person who prepared the project for printing.
  •     if our graphic department will be forced to make changes to the file, which may change its appearance in relation to the file you send, it will send you an email preview of the file after the changes in order to be able to accept it for printing.
