Graphic claims

Graphics templates are required as vector format e.g. .ai, .eps, .svg, .pdf in the original scale.

The color space for digital prints should basically be set to CMYK, with screen printing or for embroidery, the color space stored in the graphic does not matter - here the colors are later defined by yarn or screen printing color - see also under ""Color cards"" .

All components such as fonts and logos should be embedded in paths so that there can be no deviations due to e.g. fonts replaced.

If it is not possible to create a template in vector format, alternatively, also graphics in pixel format .jpg, .pdf, .tif, .psd etc. - here it is extremely important that the following criteria are met:
> Format (in cm) of the desired production size adapted to the final size
> Resolution at least 200 dpi

We reserve the right to reject the graphics that do not meet the criteria required.
Possible post -processing are possible, but associated with additional costs depending on the effort.


transmission of the design templates:
Please send graphics by email to info@supporters.de . Alternatively, an external file upload such as WETRANSFER and the associated download link can also be used to the email address info@supporters.de to be directed.

IMPORTANT! If the graphics templates are transmitted, please enter the number of order confirmation (AB-no.) And specify the name from the client (billing address), this is important so that the files can be assigned correctly in the further course.

print data check:

Standard:

• Sufficient image resolution
• Correct document format including bleed margin
• Embedding of all fonts
• Correct overprint settings and cutting paths
• Automatic conversion to CMYK

The print data will be checked and the customer will be informed of any discrepancies. The adjustment of the print data is carried out by the customer. After final coordination, a proof will be sent for final approval. The proof will be sent by email.

• All points from Standard
• Verification of tolerance ranges
• Knockout of white elements
• Correct reading direction
• Verification of color values

The print data will be checked and any discrepancies will be coordinated with the customer. The adjustment of the print data is carried out by the company Supporters. After final coordination, a proof will be sent for final approval. The proof will be delivered by email and, if desired, by post.

Are you having trouble with your print data, or would you like us to create parts or the entire graphic for you? Our graphic experts have identified some errors during the data check that you either don't want to or can't fix yourself? Take advantage of our professional data preparation service. This will save you time, energy, and resources. Choose this option, and we will contact you after receiving your order to discuss all the details and your specific requirements for your graphic. This offer is based on a processing time of up to a maximum of 2 hours.

* For particularly complex and detailed graphics that require more than the maximum processing time of two hours, we reserve the right to provide you with a new offer reflecting the estimated additional effort. After your written confirmation, our professional graphic designers will implement your print data.

Difference between pixel and vector graphics

graphics can be saved in two different species, namely as a pixel or vector graphic.

With a pixel graphic , each individual color point is individually created in grids. The individual color points within the raster graphic are again composed of an overall picture. If you look at a pixel graphic (strongly), you can see the individual scanning points clearly - the edges look unclean with increasing enlargement, are also graded with several colors.

The graphic looks ugly and the number of colors increases - this also speaks of the fact that a graphic is ""pixelated"".

A vector graphic is based on geometrically defined objects that are connected with the help of mathematical formulas. The individual ""vectors"" consist of lines, curves, circles and polygons which receive their shape, stating further data.

vector graphics can be adjusted in comparison to pixel graphics without loss of quality and therefore take a very high priority in the production area.

Difference between CMYK and RGB color space

A difference between two color spaces for graphics, the subtractive CMYK color space and the additive RGB color space.

The cmyk- color space is made of the colors c yan, m agenta, y ellow and the k ey Color black together and is (mostly) printed on white surface. The CMYK mode is usually used in digital printing and has certainly met most people in connection with the domestic inkjet printer - this work also with the four individual CMYK colors.

In this color space, the individual colors are applied one after the other to the surface to be printed and, depending on the mixing ratio (per basic color of 0-100), all possible colors.

The RGB- color space is made of three basic colors red, green, blue. Depending on the mixing ratio of these colors, there are about 16.8 million colors. The RGB mode applies to digital images, i.e. also on all monitors and screens. The physical basic colors RGB are ""light colors"" and the color perception is caused by mixing light. The more color is added, the brighter the image becomes. If you add all three basic colors in maximum color power, you get the color white - so one speaks of an additive color space.

It should be noted that the display of CMYK colors on a screen, which in turn generally works in RGB color mode (almost safe).

So that the commissioned digital printing items are ultimately also produced in the color desired by the customer, our graphic artists will be happy to vote with you.
Please provide special color requests when ordering.
