Preparation
for print

Preflight, CMYK control, bleeds, separations. Everything needed so that your file does not surprise the printer, and the printer does not surprise you.

Partner network

Five trusted
print partners

Our main partner

Large runs, steady rates

This is where most of the bigger jobs go, books, catalogues and magazines in print runs counted in the thousands. A long-standing, proven partnership means repeatable quality and competitive pricing on large projects.

Export-grade quality

International reach

A partner whose work regularly travels beyond Poland, overseas to America and Asia, and across Western Europe. This is where we send albums and prestige editions that demand the highest finishing class, still at sensible prices.

Short runs & express

From a single copy

A partner for here-and-now jobs, short runs, personalised printing, single copies and urgent deadlines with no compromise on quality.

Recurring editions

Repeatable titles, high volumes

A partner specialising in regular, repeatable editions and larger volumes, ideal where a fixed schedule and a predictable unit cost matter most.

Beyond standard formats

Scale and durability

A partner for work that goes beyond the book format, display, trade-fair and exhibition materials, where the scale and durability of the print are what count.

Six recurring problems

The most common errors
in client files

01

Colours in RGBinstead of CMYK

We convert to CMYK with the right ICC profile. For critical colours (e.g. a company logo) we run a test proof to make sure the shade has not shifted.

02

No bleedbleed = 0 mm

We extend the design by 3 mm of bleed on every side. Backgrounds and images are stretched so that no white strips remain at the edge after trimming.

03

Fonts not embeddedmissing fonts

We embed fonts into the PDF or convert text to outlines. When the printer opens the file, they see exactly the same look as you do.

04

Images at 72 dpiresolution too low

We replace images with 300 dpi versions if the client has the originals. If not, we suggest alternative cropping or sourcing from a stock library.

05

Black text as 4-colourrich black in small text

Small text must be 100% K (pure black), not four components, otherwise the printer picks up a smudging effect. We correct this automatically.

06

Wrong colour profilesno profile in the PDF

We embed the right ICC profile (ISO Coated v2 for coated paper, PSO Uncoated for uncoated), matched to the paper and the printing press.
