Frequently asked questions
[ FAQ ]What does prepress include?
We check files technically: bleed, safe area, resolution, color space (CMYK), font handling and print readiness. If needed, we fix issues and export a print-ready PDF.
Do I need a finished design?
No. If you do not have a design, we can create it — starting from your idea and handling the full process.
Prepress is still a separate service done on the final design.
Which file formats are suitable?
We prefer PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4. We can also work with source files (AI, PSD, INDD) if they are properly structured.
What fixes do you make?
We fix bleed and safe areas, font issues, image quality (check/replace), and convert color space (RGB → CMYK).
How fast can the work be delivered?
Timelines depend on file size and fixes. We most often handle: small print files (e.g. a job ad), logo file cleanup and print-ready setup, brochures and larger print packages.
Typical timing:
File check without fixes: 0.5–1 business day.
Check + fixes: 1–2 business days.
Multi-page jobs: 2–3 business days.
How much does it cost and what affects the price?
Pricing depends on number of files, page count, format, amount of fixes and deadline.
Typical budgets:
File check: €15–35 / file.
Check + fixes: €35–90 / file.
Multi-page job: €3 / page.
