IMPORTANT, CORRECTLY APPLY BLACK AND GRAY VALUES FOR BACKLIGHTING
For textiles for lightboxes, cubes, and counters with LED lighting
use the following CMYK values for black and gray areas:
Optimal black for backlit subjects C/M/Y/K 91/79/62/97
For overlapping motifs on unlit areas such as Texframes,
Blockouts or mesh fabrics can also adopt the CMYK values.

MOTIFS SPANNING MULTIPLE LIGHTBOXES, TEXFRAMES, OR LIGHTFRAMES
Please arrange contiguous motifs that span across multiple lightboxes, texframes, or lightframes on a single print sheet and calculate if necessary.
Include intermediate dimensions (e.g., slot rails). See examples in specific printing specifications. The required visualization or dimensioned view file of the divisions must be attached.

EXAMPLE

FILE FORMAT, FILE NAMING AND SIZE SPECIFICATIONS
Please send us a print-ready PDF according to the PDF 1.6 standard with clear identification of the article, the design name, and the final dimensions in mm. Always indicate the format in width x height in the filename. The external dimension should be specified without any print extension. Special characters or similar cannot be processed. The file naming, including the design as a label, will be printed and thus assists in the allocation and assembly of the individual prints. Therefore, including the design and size in the filename is very helpful for all project participants.

MULTI-PAGE PDF FILES   

TEXTILE PRINTS
Inserting multiple pages into a PDF file is not permitted and cannot be processed in the printing process. Therefore, create each design as an individual PDF.

CASE BRANDING
It is a 1-page PDF file to be created according to specific printing specifications including cutting path. Use our Adobe templates including vector path for this. You can find the link in the specific printing specifications for the case.

SK FILMS FOR COUNTER BRANDING
It is necessary to create a 3-page PDF file according to specific printing specifications. You can find these under the respective product.

COLORS, SPECIAL COLORS, PROOFS
Specific color specifications may not be achievable in digital printing, requiring adjustments to the files. In this case, please provide us with the print data in the PDF/X4:2008 standard. Additional effort due to color adjustment will be charged. Special colors can only be simulated in digital printing. Therefore, depending on the material, there may be deviations between the print result and the specified special color tone. Proofs for backlit textiles are only meaningful with the appropriate hardware; without backlighting or with a different light color, the textiles cannot be accurately assessed.

REORDERS
Due to aging, technical changes, or material transitions, color variations may occur in reprints compared to existing prints. This is technically unavoidable. For overarching motifs, the production of the entire motif is necessary.

HOW CAN I TRANSFER THE PRINT FILES?
You can easily upload your printable files via data upload here (max. 500 MB per upload). For smaller amounts of data (max. 15 MB), you can also send us the files by email at print@modulap.de, specifying the order number, or send us a download link (e.g., from WeTransfer.com). Important: Please always transfer the print files only after placing the order. Only with the order number can your files be unequivocally assigned to the correct order. Please also note the additional instructions that you will find during the data upload.
