Print-ready data guide / 6 sections
01
How submission works
Choose a file from "Print your own file" in the menu ("I have a file to print" on the home page). After the upload you go straight to the order page.
Your file goes through the print check automatically. You can fill in the size, quantity and delivery address while it runs, and pay once it finishes. If the file can't be used for printing, we tell you on screen.
After payment we also check the contents and start production if everything is in order. If there's a problem, we'll contact you by email.
02
Supported file formats
We accept the following formats (up to 2 GB per file). PDF is recommended for the most consistent results.
PDF (recommended; export as PDF/X-1a or later)
Adobe Illustrator (.ai)
Adobe Photoshop (.psd)
03
Preparing your data
B2相当 (500×707 mm), B1相当 (707×1000 mm): sized for our stands and light boxes, slightly smaller than JIS B2 (515×728 mm), B1 (728×1030 mm). Make your data at the actual size you order.
Add 3–5 mm of bleed outside the finished size (5 mm recommended).
Keep text, logos and other important elements at least 10 mm inside the finished edge.
Convert all fonts to outlines.
Use images of at least 150 dpi at actual size.
Use CMYK color mode (RGB colors may shift).
04
How to submit
You can submit and order in these steps.
Open "Print your own file" in the menu.
Choose a file in a supported format and upload it.
On the order page, choose what to print, the size, the quantity and the delivery address (the print check runs meanwhile).
When the print check finishes, check the details and pay.
