How to set them up in the file
Every job has its own measurements, given by the printer according to format and finish.
Why it is worth having them checked
A mistake with bleed and margins only shows once printing is done. With our team, which follows the job through to the partner printer in the province of Como, the check happens beforehand. If you work between Milan and Como, also find out how graphic design for print works.
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.
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.
