4. Colours

Offset print CMYK
Offset print pantone colours on demand (we need the colour-numbers to check the possibility)
Concerning the digital-printing-method please be aware that RGB and Pantone colours in the artwork will lead to
   colour differences
The right colour set-up in the artwork has to be looked after by the customer.
 
5. File-proportions ( We can supply master-files for all our forms !)

For digital products, a printed paper layer is welded into the pad. Because of the occurring heat at the corners of the product during the production-process we have to stay away 2,5 mm all the way around from the outline of the pad. This is the reason why the paper layer has to be smaller than the finished product. Because of the remaining 2,5 mm line around your artwork the foam, which can be chosen black or white, will become visible. Our tip: Let your artwork background either run into white or black so the difference between artwork and foam will not be seen at all. On offset printed products the print is placed on the back of the clear surface. The print will end with the edge of the mousepad so that you do not have any lines here. Please take care that all objects which should not be cut are placed 5 mm away from the edge of the pad, so there is no danger that they might get into the welding area.

 

6. Proof / Release print
It is very important to join a CMYK proof with the order (No Pantone, HKS or RGB). If it is not possible for you to join a proof, you can order it from us. The proof will be charged extra.
