Guide for making artworks for roll fabrics

Original file and report lengths

A 1:1 or 100% rectangular basic repeat rectangle is required for continuous printing. If the fabric also includes e.g. border text, please deliver it as a separate pdf file. If you are making a fabric-wide pattern, then attach the border text to it.

When viewed on the screen, the warp goes vertically and the weft horizontally, The file is printed on the fabric this way (see attached image).

If you are unsure, ask, please.

The resolution recommendation for the image is 150-200 dpi, although in most of the images you can't see the difference when the resolution is over 90 dpi. One-bit images (e.g. bitmap and index separation) may require a resolution of more than 600 dpi.

Image files do not need to be changed from rgb format to cmyk format because we use additional colors.

There is practically no limit to the length of the report when printing. In flat weight, the report length is 80-600 cm, in continuous meter goods usually 100-200 cm. In rotary press, basic report 64 cm.

NOTE: check your report file before sending. The most common errors are white lines at the edges, discontinuity or wrong size. We do not check the correctness of the reports before printing.
