Pre-printing - Compos

What we do

We are at the service of those who have an idea for communication; we start with the graphical concept, perform retouching and various operations on the images, and then work on the layout and prepare the file ready for printing. In addition, we check files provided by customers and send them to production for small and large format printing.

How do I save a PDF for small format printing?

The quality of the saved file should preferably be above 250dpi and not less than 150 dpi; there must be a 3 mm margin on all sides and the cut marks must also be at least 3 mm away from the edge.

What are the best types of font to use?

You can use any font but it would be advisable that before providing us with the file you convert all the texts into charts.

Can I request the retouching, contouring or colour correction of photos?

Yes, our experts will be able to help you in the best way.

With the advent of the digital age, is the pre-printing stage still important?

In some sectors, renderings have somewhat replaced all phases of photography and consequent retouching of various kinds on photographs. Our experts are however specialised in fields where, in order to have a real image perfectly inserted in a context, you have to start from a photo: such as in the fields of fabrics, sponges and much more.

How can I tell if an image is in the right print resolution?

In the case of small format printing, the image must have a resolution of at least 250dpi, for large format printing, the resolution for surfaces of up to 2 square metres must be at least 150dpi, while for larger surfaces a resolution of at least 72dpi is fine.
