Preparation of files to be printed Image scale and resolution NOT ACCEPTED: images not respecting the minimum resolution or the enlargement rate. For printing, the minimum tolerated resolution is: • 300 dpi for 1:2 or 1:4 scale images (images to be enlarged before printing) • 150 dpi minimum for images delivered at scale 1:1. Beyond these limits, the quality is not sufficient for a satisfactory result.

Preparation of files to be printed Sizes of panels and bleed areasPanel sizes Bleed area Bleed areas of 20 mm must be allowed for on each side of the panel. The bleed area is a zone of printing which is trimmed off the panel to obtain the final format. Anything located within this zone is not taken into account in the quality inspection, as it is considered as a non-usable zone. You may only use the usable surface of the panel. Why use a bleed area? During lamination, the printed image may change in size by a maximum of +/- 0.15% lengthways and +/- 0.4% crosswise compared with the sides of...

Preparation of files to be printed Realise your project: the prototype The prototype is a laminate sample of a part of the panel, created prior to ordering. It enables you to visualise the result of your image, printed and laminated in the requested finish. The prototype phase is necessary for a high-quality result. • The prototype is free in the 58 x 58 cm format. It will be made on a scale of 1:1, from the final, validated files for your project. • The maximum delivery time for prototypes is 2 weeks following validation of the image files. • The prototype must be approved in writing, in a...

Assembly of files to be printed

However, we recommend that you use the area outside the bleed area. The image must be created in the...
