Your documents are ready for printing as pdf or jpeg files?
Our system accepts only Acrobat Distiller PDF files (www.adobe.com). All other file types will be refused: you will not be able to upload them.
Attention : We do not advise you to send PDF files that have been exported from Word, Excel, Powerpoint or Publisher. These programs frequently have problems incorporating type-faces and leading to certain characters printing incorrectly.
Procedure :
- No imposition
Do not do your own imposition (only one side or page per file). - Add a border of at least 5mm (background colour)
all around your document to avoid problems when cropping. In the absence of a border, we will be forced to to add a white border ourselves Example: if the finished document is to measure 148x105mm, your file should measure 158x115mm. - Cropping lines
When preparing your document include cropping lines. - 3 mm margins
Allow for at least 3mm of margin between the text and the edges of the document. This precaution is absolutely necessary to avoid the loss or stretching of text when cropping. - 300 DPI
Recommended image resolution: At least 300 DPI (depending on the size of the document). Be aware that photos downloaded from the internet are often of inferior quality (72 DPI) and will appear pixelated when printed. Be aware that when an image of 300 DPI is doubled in size, its new resolution will be 150 DPI... Be particularly careful with large printing formats. - CMJN (cyan magenta yellow key (black))
All documents must be saved in CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow Key (Black)) mode and NEVER RGB!! Coyoteprint will automatically convert RGB (Red Green Blue) images into CMYK. Colour on computer monitors are reproduced using RGB mode. Colours on professional printers are produced using CMYK mode. In other words the colour on your monitor is always slightly different to that of a printed document. Coyoteprint does not accept Pantone colours, images in LAB mode or with indexed colours (they will come out in greyscale). - Scale
The files must be supplied in the exact dimensions of the required final document. - Verification
We will not verify the information contained in your files. We thus cannot be held responsible for inferior image resolution, spelling mistakes, incorrect cropping, etc.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact one of our staff-members by email at graphics@coyoteprint.com

In addition, the term is used to describe the process of loading a font into a laser printer. The font is first copied from a disk to the printer's local memory. A font that has been downloaded like this is called a soft font to distinguish it from the hard fonts that are permanently in the printer's memory.
The opposite of download is upload, which means to copy a file from your own computer to another computer.
For printers, the DPI specification indicates the number of dots per inch that the printer is capable of achieving to form text or graphics on the printed page. The higher the DPI, the more refined the text or image will appear. To save ink, a low DPI is often used for draft copies or routine paperwork. This setting might be 300 or even 150 DPI. High resolution starts at 600 DPI for standard printers, and can far exceed that for color printers designed for turning out digital photography or other high-resolution images.
The DVD specification supports disks with capacities of from 4.7GB to 17GB and access rates of 600KBps to 1.3 MBps. One of the best features of DVD drives is that they are backward-compatible with CD-ROMs, meaning they can play old CD-ROMs, CD-I disks, and video CDs, as well as new DVD-ROMs. Newer DVD players can also read CD-R disks. DVD uses MPEG-2 to compress video data.
JPEG is designed for compressing either full-color or gray-scale images of natural, real-world scenes.
JPEG standards help image files to be compressed to around five percent of their original size, though some details are lost during compression. The commonly used file extensions for th JPEG format are .jpg, .jpeg, .jfif, .or jpe.
The advantages of lamination are that it provides a highly professional, extra smooth finish, as well as protecting the paper or card surface from markings such as fingerprints and scratches caused by everyday handling.
Lamination also removes the danger (which is otherwise present) that ink in heavy ink coverage areas may come off slightly if rubbed. Additionally, lamination is especially recommended if the design in question features a dark colour which bleeds, in order to preserve clean edges where the dark ink meets any very slight roughness in the edges of the paper or card itself. (You can learn more about this by searching for "lamination" in our help centre).
The specific color that a pixel describes is some blend of three components of the color spectrum - RGB. Up to three bytes of data are allocated for specifying a pixel's color, one byte for each major color component. A true color or 24-bit color system uses all three bytes. However, many color display systems use only one byte (limiting the display to 256 different colors).
TrueType fonts offer the highest possible quality on computer screens and printers, and include a range of features which make them easy to use.
If the file is created correctly, you will never be charged any additional costs. Any inadequacy of one of these points requiring the intervention of a Coyoteprint graphic designer may constitute the object of invoicing on the basis of an hourly rate of € 55 excl. VAT.
Coyoteprint recommends you to verify the following points :
- Add at least a 5 mm margin to each side of your document, to prevent any problems with cropping. In the absence of a margin, we will have to include a white outline.
Attention : if you do not include a margin, no complaint is possible regarding cropping problems which are inevitable if you do not comply with this technical constraint (particularly for printing cards or leaflets on 350 g). - Avoid placing the text too close to the margins to prevent it being cropped, leave at least 3 mm. Attention : if you place text or graphic elements too close to your document's margin, no complaints are possible regarding cropping problems which are inevitable if you do not comply with this technical constraint.
- Coyoteprint recommends you to create your images at 300 DPI (depending on the size of your document).
Attention : You may send us images with lower resolution but the printing quality will also be lower, Coyoteprint will consequently accept no responsibility for this. - Coyoteprint recommends you to save your images in CMJN (CMYB?) mode (Cyan Magenta Yellow Black)
Attention : Coyoteprint shall automatically adapt images sent in RGB format (Red Green Blue) into CMYB. Colours on computer screens are shown in RGB format. The colours on the production machines are shown according to CMYB format. In other words, a colour on your screen will always differ slightly from those on the printed object. Coyoteprint does not accept pantone shades, or images in the LAB format or indexed colours (grey-scale).
The main purpose of the RGB color model is for the sensing, representation, and display of images in electronic systems, such as televisions and computers, though it has also been used in conventional photography. Before the electronic age, the RGB color model already had a solid theory behind it, based in human perception of colors.
Typical RGB input devices are color TV and video cameras, image scanners, and digital cameras. Typical RGB output devices are TV sets of various technologies (CRT, LCD, plasma, etc.), computer and handy devices' displays, video projectors...
Raster image processing is the process and the means of turning vector digital information such as a PostScript file into a high-resolution raster image.
Servers are often dedicated, meaning that they perform no other tasks besides their server tasks. On multiprocessing operating systems, however, a single computer can execute several programs at once. A server in this case could refer to the program that is managing resources rather than the entire computer.
Note the following about TIFF
- TIFF files are large and of very high quality. Baseline TIFF images are highly portable; most graphics, desktop publishing, and word processing applications understand them.
- The TIFF specification is readily extensible, though this comes at the price of some of its portability. Many applications incorporate their own extensions, but a number of application-independent extensions are recognized by most programs.
- Four types of baseline TIFF images are available: bilevel (black and white), gray scale, palette (i.e., indexed), and RGB (i.e., true color). RGB images may store up to 16.7 million colors. Palette and gray-scale images are limited to 256 colors or shades. A common extension of TIFF also allows for CMYK images.
- TIFF files may or may not be compressed. A number of methods may be used to compress TIFF files, including the Huffman and LZW algorithms. Even compressed, TIFF files are usually much larger than similar GIF or JPEG files.
- Because the files are so large and because there are so many possible variations of each TIFF file type, few web browsers can display them without plug-ins.
