To prepare files for printing you work in CMYK (or with spot colours), add bleed and safety margins, use high-resolution images and export a print-ready PDF. In Cantù, in the province of Como, we take care of these steps for companies that entrust us with catalogues, brochures and printed materials.
Before sending a job to the printer we check the same points, whether it is a small printed piece or a complex production.
Those who design and those who oversee production work in the same team: that is why files reach the printer already checked. We work with partner printers in the province of Como and with companies between Como, Brianza, Milan and Canton Ticino. Find out more about our graphic design service for print.

RGB is the colour system of screens, based on light; CMYK is that of printing inks. A file created for the web must be converted before going to the printer. In Cantù, in the province of Como, we convert and check files for catalogues, brochures and flyers.
Bleed is the artwork that extends beyond the final format, so the cut leaves no white edges; safety margins keep text and logos away from the cut. For companies in Como and Brianza we set them in every project, in Cantù.
The resolution for printing is much higher than for the web and depends on the final format: the image must be supplied at the actual print size, otherwise it looks pixelated. For companies between Como, Cantù and Milan we check every image before it goes to the printer.
Pantone colours are ready-made, consistent shades, useful for brand colours or for effects that CMYK cannot reproduce, such as metallics and fluorescents. For companies in Cantù, Como and Brianza we assess case by case whether they are really needed.
A screen emits light, paper reflects it: that is why printed colour looks different. Inks, paper and finish also matter. For companies between Como and Milan we do not promise identical colours, but we use proofs and checks to get as close as possible.
A print-ready PDF is exported in CMYK, with embedded fonts, suitable images, bleed and crop marks, according to the printer's requirements. In Cantù, in the province of Como, we prepare PDFs for catalogues, brochures and leaflets.
You gather the document, images and fonts in a single folder, or convert the text to outlines, so the job opens identically at the printer. For clients in Cantù, Como and Brianza we archive every project for future reprints.
With AI for images you generate, select and prepare the file with dimensions and quality suited to printing, always under the direction of a graphic designer. In Cantù, in the province of Como, we use it for companies between Como and Milan.
For companies in Cantù and the province of Como, the print files are prepared by the NewVisibility in-house team, with a single point of contact and local partner printers. We also serve clients in Brianza, Milan and Canton Ticino.
Because whoever follows production knows paper, finishes and machines and spots errors before they become costly. The file check by our team in Cantù (Como) applies to companies between Como, Milan and Lugano.
You need product photos that are consistent in lighting, framing and background, plus a few lifestyle images, planned together with the layout. Our in-house studio in Cantù, in the province of Como, produces the photo shoots for the catalogues of companies in Brianza and Milan.
A QR code on printed materials should be large enough, with good contrast, accompanied by a line explaining what you will find after scanning and tested before printing. There is only one call to action, with a clear verb. For companies in Como and Brianza we handle it in Cantù.
Colour proofs and print drafts are approved before production, with a single point of contact who coordinates you and the printer. In Cantù, in the province of Como, we help companies in Brianza and Milan read the proof, without promising colours identical to the monitor.
To choose readable fonts and typographic hierarchies it is best to use a few well-matched typefaces, with clear levels for headline, subheading and body text, consistent with the brand. This is the work we do in Cantù for catalogues and brochures of companies in Como, Brianza and Milan.
To approve drafts and print proofs you check text, images, margins and colours and give a single written confirmation before production. Colour on paper does not match the screen. In Cantù we follow this stage for companies in Como, Brianza and Lugano.
