KC Print uses the latest industry standard ink profiles. All processes are fingerprinted to that standard. Where no two process can be identical, KC Print goes to great lengths to minimise the difference.

Adobe Acrobat (.PDF files).

Check the Print dropdown option on the product page is set to Single Sided not the default Double Sided setting.

Bleed should be set at 3mm on all sides for all sizes to allow for cutter variance.

Printing from a low resolution files will cause pixilation and a low quality print.

To set up a rich black, you need to use a combination of 2 colours.

Our standard rich black is: 40% cyan and 100% black.

The combination will give you a rich black. Without this combination, you will receive a faded black colour. Please note if your text is black, make sure it is 100% black and not a rich black combination. A rich black in text will result in offsetting.

In short, printers and monitors produce colours in different ways.

Monitors use the RGB (red, green, blue) colour model, which usually supports a wider spectrum of colours. Printers use the CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) colour model, which can reproduce most—but not all—of the colours in the RGB colour model.

Depending on the equipment used, CMYK generally matches 85–90% of the colours in the RGB model.

When a colour is selected from the RGB model that is out of the range of the CMYK model, the application chooses what it thinks is the closest colour that will match. Programs like Adobe Photoshop will allow you to choose which colour will be replaced. Others may not.

When non bleeding information is near or on the trim line. We ask for a 3-5mm margin for all non bleeding information. We refer to this as the ‘quiet area’.

The simplest way in most programs is to raster together all images and artwork using transparencies into one layer, keeping your type on top in a separate layer.

Low resolution is typically 240 dpi or lower. We recommend 300 dpi at 100% of picture placement.
