Turn the artwork by 90 degrees to check if bitmaps rotate correctly.
If saved as CDR, your artwork must be grouped. | | Kolory | | Stamp content must be prepared solely in black (100% K) without greyscale. The frame marking the stamp plate trim mark must have a red hairline outline (100% M, 100% Y) without any fill. | | Optimum Resolution | | Halftone elements should be saved as a bitmap (2-colour, black and white image) with at least 300 dpi resolution..
| | Text | | Minimum text (font) size - 8 points. | | PLEASE NOTE | - Lines used in the artwork should not be thinner than 0.25 mm.
- Do not apply a stroke to make the text thicker.
- If your artwork contains text, it must be outlined before saving.
- Using large dark surfaces is not recommended as they may lead to inconsistent imprint |
