PRINTING TEMPLATES

Depending on colour or material (transparent housing) we recommend the use of printing inks with a high contrast to the colour of the pen.
This optimizes visibility and the legibility of the print.
The duarbility of printing inks on plastic models can be not compare with the special surface qualities of metal writing instruments
(pressure key MT/MS) or rubberised soft-touch surfaces (pressure key GT).
The printing results on these surfaces are basically stable, but higher abrasion probabilities apply and a lower scratch resistance than prints
on plastics.

Printing templates
An optimal printing result requires optimal printing templates.
For the different finishing technologies we need vectorised print files
with a minimum resolution between 600 and 1,200 dpi – optimal are
EPS-files. TIFF or JPG files with a similar resolution are also suitable.
Provided films can only be used after examination of our in-house
graphic department and also in case of screen printing. For
multicolour-, halftone- and pad printing only in-house films can be
used.
