DTP
control of the supplied data, creation of graphic designs
We provide comprehensive services including graphic and pre-print preparation.
We also provide review of graphic data supplied by you including reviewing the quality of the supplied image files (colour scale, image quality, size etc.) prior to printing. We do not provide grammatical or stylistic proofreading.
We recommend the use only high-quality script (font), obtained legally from proven manufacturers / dealers, which are intended for print production and are without technical restrictions according to the license conditions.
I.e. We strongly do not recommend the use of free fonts, fonts intended for the web, etc. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee their error-free printing. If these conditions are not followed, we are not responsible for any final print result and issues related with the usage of the bad fonts and any claims cannot be accepted.

Bitmap formats

Send files to 10 MB to e-mail: dtp@fermata.cz.
For the transfer of larger data we will gladly provide you space on our FTP SERVER.
Digital calibrated proof
Digital proof can be used to improve the outcome of the printing process. Our print is not only printed out perfectly, but also correctly simulates the required FOGRA target profiles (glossy paper, offset paper…). Each print is always measured for the standard with ISO 12647-7:2007. The printing according to the digital calibrated proof can be agreed in advance for a special fee according to specific conditions.
Spheres of application:
- to check the colours of graphically processed digital data (mainly images)
- to check the colour standard of the final print – especially offset
We use:
printer Epson Stylus Pro 3880, RIP EFI Colorproof XF, EFI Colorproof XF Color Verifier Option with spectrophotometer EyeOne, material EFI CertProof Paper 6225XF Semimatt
If the final data is to be approved after being modified in our DTP studio, we send a PDF file (1.5 standard) that can be correctly viewed in the ACROBAT 7.0 program (not Acrobat Reader). When viewing this file, the overprint function must be turned on!
