* Correct folding,
* Creasing correctness,
* Overprints presence,
* Project aligned center on the page,
* Proper file resolution.

In case of errors the files are corrected (if possible) and are sent to the customer for approval.

Please note!  Low resolution can not be improved.

* Custom graphics or text elements should not be at a distance of less than 4 mm from the cutting line. Keep 1 cm distance from the line format for the essential elements of the graphics on the page (especially the long, parallel to the edge of the page).

* In the case of glued fittings, please note that pages no. 2 and 3 of the cover and last page of the publication will be sealed 6 mm from the spine by gluing the side. Therefore, the minimum distance of graphics and text should be 7 mm. Inside the publication should also be a gap of min. 7 mm.

* Effective spreads in the original format of the glued frame is smaller than the nominal because of the incomplete opening of the book. Correction (a duplication of the image at the inner edge of the page) should be included in the file. There should not be any corrections of layout or format of the page.

Verification of colours (Proof) is available as a chargeable option on request.

* On each page of the proof there should be a control strip Ugra / FOGRA MediaWedge V.2.0,

* Print test should be based on the same files that will be used for final print,

* Providing of correctly performed test prints is a condition for the convergence of final print result with the model,

* If a test print does not meet the conditions described in this document it can not be treated as a reliable model for printing colour schemes. In this situation, or in the absence of the colour pattern of the work for which the colour reproduction quality is particularly important, for print process there can be used special colour pattern made for customer at extra cost,

* According to ISO 12647 different colours can be + / - 5% for each colour.
