Digital proof

V3 proofs are printed on proof paper containing optical brighteners (OBA), which are also used in the most popular papers on the market. Therefore, the V3 digital proofs used in the KOPA printing house visually correspond better to offset printing than V2.

Preparing Files for Print

Simple Guide to Preparing Print-Ready Files

Print-ready files are accepted in PDF format only. The PDF/X standard is recommended.
Do your file names clearly indicate their purpose (cover, inside pages, endpapers)? Examples of appropriate file names: “mymagazine_cover.pdf”, “mymagazine_inside.pdf”.
Files must be supplied for both sides of the sheet, even when the content on both sides is identical.
Printing on the reverse side of the sheet is always carried out by flipping the sheet along the side edge, according to the orientation of the supplied PDF file — portrait or landscape. An alternative method, flipping over the top edge, is only used if the client specifies this requirement in writing.
If your product is a brochure or book, do you know how to prepare the full cover layout correctly? Do you know what the spine width of the finished product will be?
When creating your file, have you set the correct trim size (TrimBox) for the finished product? Bleed is not included in the finished trim size.
Does your file include the required bleed?
Are important design elements, such as text, positioned at a safe distance from the trim line?
Does your file contain only the colours that will actually be used for printing?
If you answered YES to all of the questions above, your file is ready for print.
